[QUOTE="subzero, post: 465170, member: 9185"] Funnily enough I remember Star Wars toys as being very popular in the late 80's, all our SW toys that me and my bro's played with were mainly my older bro's toys but were considered the families toys as we all played with them in the garden. My best mate a few doors down had tons of them and a couple of my other neighbour friends had a good few SW toys too and they all actively played with and talked about them, so at least in that small circle around me it seemed like it was still popular, but maybe outside of that circle it wasn't that popular because I don't remember any other friends having any in the late 80's / early 90's. I was born in 82 so ROTJ seemed like the most popular toy line around my golden years which was probably from around 85 - 92, there were other figures from the other films around too mixed in with toys but nowhere near as much as Jedi figures. Also I never once thought about wanting to watch Star Wars in the cinema until I was old enough in the mid 90's, as a younger kid it just never passed my mind, watching it on telly on a crappy 16" screen was always magical enough for me :lol: .. I remember it was always on at xmas every year and I used to sit there with my toys waiting for it to come on, ( either xmas day or boxing day I can't remember now ) it was the best time I used to love it. I even have a strong memory of my dad calling me from the living room when I was about 3 or 4 because Star Wars was just starting on telly, and remember racing in there to watch it and seeing the opening crawl, I don't remember anything else though, just the crawl. :lol: [/QUOTE]
