Do we know when certain card backs were launched into shops?

[QUOTE="UKS, post: 520609, member: 10841"] Hi all! I am trying to work out "exactly" when I got my first Star Wars figures. I can remember the event, I can just about remember the figures... but the date? I was just too young to know that. Alas, my parents have passed away so I can't ask them (though I doubt they would have remembered!) What I can tell you is the cardback (approx) all the figures had. ESB Palitoy 41.(https://www.freewebs.com/mrpalitoy/esb41acardback.htm) I got Leia Hoth, Lobot, Ugnaught (or two!) and Luke X-Wing. I also got an X-Wing (original in ESB box IIRC) These would have almost certainly been new on the shelves, as it was the large Bristol department store, Debenhams. (I think it was post Xmas, purchased with money from my Grand parents, though that could be wrong.) So... what sort of time did that cardback appear in shops? Do any of us know? (The reason I ask, is some independent research of something else, has blown my previously believed timeline up!) UKS [/QUOTE]
