    Good Memories – A history of collecting: 1978

    1978 – the first year Kenner released toys. Chewbacca was my favorite character, and I had to have him! R2D2 was my first figure though. Then I got the stormtrooper and Chewie.

    Luke I got loose, from a friend, for a birthday (not even wrapped, just in a brown paper bag with a ribbon – but I didn’t care).

    I got Han, Leia, and the Death Squad Commander all together, but I think I got the rest of them before then. I can’t recall.

    I liked the Die-Cast vehicles then too – the X-wing and Vader’s TIE were my first. I couldn’t wait until I got the regular TIE Fighter, because even then I knew Darth Vader couldn’t lose. Once I had that white die-cast fighter, adventure started to explode. But I wanted the (die cast) Millennium Falcon more than anything!

    I think I had the landspeeder that year too (for the regular figures). It was more than fun to make it haul-butt over the tile floor!
