Really interesting to get the views of the Kenner guy, talking about the longevity of the product line, and coinciding with the films, where he states 25 to 30years.
The worry of the advertising on kids, obviously something that they felt strongly about and was apre cursor of things to come that's just accepted now.
The images of all that SW goodness was awesome 8) like I said ...anyone got a time machine,

Glad you all like it. Someone posted it on one of the FB groups. It's not very well titled on there. I was pretty blown away when I saw it. There's even quite a funny video from a news report in 1983 on the Jedi figures where the reporter laughs at a man who says he is buying figures as an investment!!!! I'll try and find it again to post it here.

Excellent, never seen that before. Thanks for posting it up.
Looking at the state of some of the figures on the shelves it makes you realise how fortunate we are that so many made it in good condition. Saw a few bashed bubbles and creased cards amongst them.

This was so good, thanks for posting. That dad who was interviewed looked a bit suspect! I reckon he was the one with the fetish. Nice flasher jacket too.....
