[QUOTE="paulcalf, post: 494797, member: 3871"] Although star wars was first shown in UK cinemas in December 1977, most UK cinemas didn't show it until 1978. Star Wars toys wouldn't have featured in Spring 1978 argos catalogue as it would have been produced before the toys were available. They probably didn't feature in Autumn 1978 and spring/summer 79 for a couple of reasons: Argos may not have known how popular SW would be/they couldn't get sufficient stock of the toys. 'Palitoy brings Star Wars to Planet Earth' advert didn't appear until 8th March 1978 and some of the figures advertised were drawings rather than pictures of figures. Star wars Comics in June 1978 still had drawings of figures in adverts, rather than pictures of figures. [/QUOTE]
