what game did you swapp it for
I was the only kid in my school with a vinyl cape jawa and got the piss taken out of me.
The cloth cape looked more like the film jawa. However i prefered the vinyl cape version as mine was unique.
I swapped it for some stupid space invader game, one of those cheap crap things that plugged into the TV.

God, I can't remember. I think I always wanted a Hammerhaed. I remember on a saturday morning my mum coming up to my bedroom to say the post had arrived. I got a Nien Nunb and Emporer through in the little white boxes as I has collected the tokens off the packaging. I was so friggin happy as none of my mates had them. The Falcon had a new co-pilot!

Had two vinyl caped Jawas - don't think the capes lasted long though . Remember out with me Mum and going into the local toyshop and buying the Jawa playset (cardboard) that didn't last long either. Also me grandma buying me a Tie Fighter which lasted for ages - in fact still got it though has seen better days.
The only thing me and our kid wanted was the Cloud Car - never saw it in the shops.
Also remember getting the Rancor Keeper in a mail away.

Went to every toy shop in Nottingham before finding a cloth cape 12 back Jawa to complete the first 12. Finally found one in a toy shop in a cardboard box out the back of the shop.

I was convinced as a child that snaggletooth was not sold in the uk
I remember klaatu being one of the last released of the first jedi line, so felt he was very rare as well. Never saw a vinyl cape jawa until i started collecting again in the 90's.

But surely as a kid you weren't thinking 'I must find a cloth cape 12 back Jawa'
'Just I want a Jawa'
