I had this figure as a child. No idea why I bought it when I could have chosen something like Boskk or a Snowtrooper. I bought it from the Preston branch of John Menzies with picket money, alongside a Medical Droid. Both my kids played with my Star Wars stuff and she is long gone now.

I spot a red-bar in there, I have one from my childhood which I've posted recently, nice.

I too have him as a saved seller, purely out of curiosity.

Hi all, here is my R5 D4 which is my own childhood toy, probably acquired at Christmas or birthday 1979 or '80. It is well played with : after I had done with it both my sons played with my collection as they were growing up too. I only learned it was a red bar variant maybe 5 or 6 years back...

I didn't have one as a child, and only have a loose one now but I love it. The cardbacks with the deep pinks are really striking. Mark.

Just a quick observation, the date of this ticket would be 1978, not '77. Star Wars premiered in one of the cinemas in Leicester Square London at the very end of 1977, and then opened across the rest of the UK at different times starting in 1978.
