Sure I've seen those bubble bath things when I was a nipper. Always had a bubble bath as a kid.
 
I remember that Toy Satellite appearing in the large John Menzies shop in Glasgow. I remember it was toward the end of the line and they had a guy in a Vader suit promoting it. The outfit was crap and not a **** was given by the eight kids in attendance by chance. I remember thinking this was a very different experience to a few years previous when what looked to me like a screen used Vader promoted Palitoy to mild local hysteria.
 
OMG that command satellite is brilliant... does anyone own a whole set-up or is it a case of bits of it being in a variety of collections?
 
I remember having those Burton's biscuits back in the day. I could quite remember if it was around Empire or Jedi but looking at the picture and remembering Jabba's picture on one of the biscuits it must have been Jedi. Funny that the ad just says Star Wars but I'd love to see a picture of the packet………...http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=22813

I remember the Burtons biscuits, they were like the 'Nice' biscuits with Return of the Jedi characters on them.

Yep, only minty.
 
I visited the CS when it was in the local Debenhams in 83. I do remember the Vader to be very much like it came off screen. I received a signed ROTJ promo card, hence why i love collecting them. I currently own 5 with variations of debehams, odeon and blank :D I remember being awestruck and my mum bought me a ROTJ puzzle book for the journey home:) happy days!

Also rember the biscuits and brushes.
