[QUOTE="SWBendems, post: 541623, member: 13025"] Thanks Mini. You are correct they came out in 1993 and ran through to 1995. But I personally don't recall getting any until 94. The first gift set I got for Christmas was in the Argos Catalogue in Winter 1994, I've a picture of that on my twitter - https://twitter.com/SWBendems/status/1361368087686217731 they were probably in Toys R Us before that but we didnt have a TRU where I lived until later in the 90s. R2 is one of the better figures in the line in my opinion, has a really good likeness, they seemed to get the Droids and Aliens likeness much better, some of the human faces are a little dodgy! :) There were 3 Brass coins, that came with the Gift Packs. One featuring Millenium Falcon, The X-Wing Fighter and a Tie Fighter. The other side is a Star Wars logo which faces out on the sets, so difficulty is you won't know what one you have until you open up the set!
