[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 505132, member: 7379"] The rather grandly named 'Radio Controlled Jawa Sandcrawler'. Not a toy we got here in the UK of course, and for that reason for many years I never even knew it existed! Let's be brutally honest here, the toy is woefully undersized and a little underwhelming. However, the sculpt is a good one, and I am still surprised to this day that Kenner even made one. It's testament to Star Wars' popularity that Kenner felt they could not only flog kids a Sandcrawler (which let's face it, didn't do a huge amount in the film), but an expensive radio controlled one at that! I'm very glad that Kenner did make one though, as it makes for a relatively unusual and different addition to any collection. It's also noteworthy that the Sandcrawler, along with the Imperial Troop Transporter, are the only Star Wars logo-ed toy boxes NOT to have a double racetrack around the perimeter of the box front. Instead they reduced it down to just the single track we subsequently got for Empire and Jedi packaging. Anyway, here's mine. Not the best example out there, but I'm still happy to have it.
