That's really nice! Is it an officially licensed product?
Thanks, Andy. I wasn't sure who, if anyone, still owns the image rights to the vintage Kenner figures, but perhaps it's Lucasfilm and hence Disney? I say 'perhaps' because there seems to have been quite a lot of products over the years that have used pictures of the vintage figures without those products obviously being officially licensed, and yet no law suits seem to have appeared. Not to mention things like the repro Kenner and Palitoy boxes for sale on eBay which are very clearly not licensed, and yet are apparently tolerated by whoever does own the copyright.spoons said:

I saw some Gift Bags in WHSmiths like that! Bit different but very similar. I was pointing out to my girlfriend that Boba had the wrong colour blaster on the picture, and I was 90% sure the Stormtrooper blaster was a repro as it looked grey!
She's a massive nerd herself, but I got a look from her that suggested I was providing her with information that she really didn't give two shits about.

Modern speeder bike and Biker Scout :roll: That sends my OCD into overdrive 
We're now a 'target market' - as said, adverts using toys from our childhood and product using retro imagery is proof it's all cool now to like this stuff.
In the early 90's you could get your head kicked in up here if you mentioned you collected toys.

And then not to mention Ready Player One, I feel like society is approaching 'peak 80's nostalgia', it will no doubt be a huge trend over the next few years and we'll see it everywhere I reckon. Along with equally rising vintage toy prices even more than what's already happened so far! :shock:
