I still remember that fateful day in 1989 when, as a 14 year old, my Mother popped her head around my door and asked if I still want my Star Wars toys, without looking up from whatever I was doing, without giving it even just a few seconds thought, i just said no, it all went to a church jumble/yard sale, for nothing, vinyl caped Jawas, telescoping lightsabred figures, millennium falcon, snowspeeder, troop transporter, Darth Vader punch bag, bop bag I think it was called?. All sorts of stuff, Second dumbest decision i ever made, the first involves a woman, we don't need to go there.....

I was seven when Star Wars came out. At that time I was playing with my Six Million Man collection and an original toy line called Micro-naughts? ( way before Transformers.) Before that it was G.I. Joe and of course MEGO action figures. Marvel and DC heroes! But my favorite was The Planet of Apes line. Obviously Kenner hit a home run with the 3 3/4" figures. But I've always try to imagine what MEGO what have done with this phenomenal franchise. ??? Great video! Well done! Thank you! * BTW.... If you got the Hoth playset you need your poor going up. Who wanted that over the ATAT. Lol?! That was Me .

Had the death star playset with the trash compactor. I remember the green compactor monster and the foam pieces the most. Also had the canteen set and remember they had these two places to put action figure. One you would put on a peg (hole in foot of action figure) and you could twist it, causing a button to pop up in another place that had another action figure on it, that would simulate them being shot and falling down. One thing I liked about the AT-AT was the grappling hooks that came with them..
