[QUOTE="Stormtrooper37, post: 188334, member: 3010"] Can only really remember the first time I got SW stuff for one Christmas, must have been Xmas 1980 or 1981 not sure. The only figure I had at this time being Greedo, which I bought in the Autumn. At this time I had only seen Star Wars, had never seen ESB, so naturally I wanted all the SW characters and the falcon for Christmas. I asked for Falcon Luke (original) Han (original) Leia (original) C3P0 r2 Vader Stormtrooper Ben kenobi Chewie However this is what I ended up with Falcon :D Luke X-wing :( - was not happy as did not look like Luke IMO as a kid Han (Bespin) :) OK, bespin and original Han look similar Leia (Bespin) :| Would have preferred original, had no idea why Leia looked so different, but at least she had a cape! C3P0 :D r2 :D Vader :D Stormtrooper Hoth Battle Gear (x2) :? as a kid puzzled as to why Stormtrooper looked liked this Chewie :D AT AT Driver :? Thought it was a sort of Stormtrooper gone wrong :lol: Boba Fett :( - not happy, had no idea who this was and asked why I had him. Was told by my Mum she searched everywhere for Ben Kenobi and so thought I might like Boba Fett instead!!! I WANTED BEN KENOBI - the brat I was :lol: I think my Mum had trouble getting SW characters as ESB was all the rage at this time and so the shops must have had loads of ESB figures and very few SW figures. So I was a very confused child playing with mainly ESB figures trying to act out ANH Star Wars scenes. :lol: [/QUOTE]
