Also interesting that they got two of the figures wrong in either the description or photo!

Everything I got from Argos as a Kid broke within a week!

Interesting though.

Yes, and the blaster looks wrong on the rebel soldier, looks more like a black Pilot Blaster to me? I presume they were all baggies in a white outer box.

I think these just came taped together , but may be wrong , but seem to have a vague memory of getting a taped together figure lot / present as a kid, could have been Freemans thou as my mum was a rep and think a lot of my sw came from them :)

Just noticed...but Image 2 shows an interesting Ewok. Could it be a prototype? looks a bit like Romba remodelled. Interesting.

I could be wrong, but that looks like a Paploo figure wearing a bizarre extra dark brown Wicket hood, holding a Teebo axe.

Think you might be on the money there, the hood might have been an early design change they made before it went to full production.

£37 for an atat back in 1984 - that equates to £120 in today's money!

I got mine from coopers toy shop in Rotherham for a fiver, Christmas 1985 - my brothers present.

Wow great photos everyone, the sand dunes one is my favourite. When Ewoks go on holiday they do it properly!

I don't think they came in baggies and boxes like the Kenner MP's. I imagine if they did one would of surfaced by now. I seem to remember this being discussed years ago and from memory they were mocs taped together
