I'm not sure if it's impressive or sad that they roped in Anthony Daniels and Peter Mayhew to be in the commercial.FilmFatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572370403623288465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-1236872888057585822009-09-18T12:47:02.032-04:002009-09-18T12:47:02.032-04:00This was the first time I actually remember being ...This was the first time I actually remember being excited over toys.

What a boring piece of junk. "Oooo, watch my action figures dance and drink booze. Exciting!"<br /><br />Anyway, the days of the original Star Wars trilogy were such happy ones..John IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15132698775961146036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-71405795523889800352009-09-18T10:08:16.323-04:002009-09-18T10:08:16.323-04:00I posted a 40 minute long (or so) DIVX video on my...I posted a 40 minute long (or so) DIVX video on my blog that was a compilation of Star Wars toy commercials:<br /><br />http://cool-mo-dee.blogspot.com/2009/08/kenners-star-wars-toy-commercials.htmlAdam Gotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542763810905604099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-60776911684044614902009-09-18T02:11:49.159-04:002009-09-18T02:11:49.159-04:00Extremely happy memories!

The toys came out, and I was in heaven. Fortunately, my Granma worked at an Eaton's and was able to get the toys directly from the stockroom. I remember getting the Slave I and Boba Fett, as well as multiple Ugnauts. <br />Happy times.Alphacentauriannoreply@blogger.com
