brilliant - you must be stoked having those memories on film
I reckon your luke X-Wing was a Palitoy 45b back - bounty hunter offer on the back
one thing that stuck out for me and presumably was true for many of us - you didn't give a **** about the weapons, loads must have got hoovered up on Xmas day all around the world :lol:

Will see if I can upload a snippet of the actual event if anyone wants to see it.
Here is Christmas 1982

It's very hard to tell. I tried looking at the logo on the cards but it's just not clear enough to see if it;s a white box Palitoy logo or the white and blue text of the Kenner logo. :?

All that matters is that as a child you had the greatest Christmas thanks to those toys! Awesome stuff 8)
