[QUOTE="Walrusbumface, post: 558524, member: 13056"] Earliest STAR WARS memory for me, was either 1978 or 1979? I was about six or seven at the time. A friend at Junior Primary School had quite a few figures (some of them belonged to his older brother). I didn't know what they were (from what film / TV show?), but, I knew I liked them a lot. We'd play with them - sometimes with great violence - snapping off the heads of Obi-Wan and Tatooine Luke. He'd give them to me after breaking them. I'd take them home and dad would fix them, by inserting a small screw (with the screw head sawn off) into the hole in the neck and then screw the head back on. It worked ... for a while. My first (paid for) figure was Luke Skywalker: X-Wing Pilot, from K-Mart, in 1979. Would've been about $2.00 back then. I loved that STAR WARS cardback. I'd stare at it for hours, studying the other products in the line (loved Greedo and the Dewback lizard). That card image of Luke, in his orange flight suit, climbing the yellow ladder, is my favourite STAR WARS memory from the late '70s. [/QUOTE]
