Action figures, comics, trading cards etc anything related to the first Star Wars movie. But why only until 1980? he told me that it's not that he don't love The Empire Strikes Back and beyond, but there is something about that first wave of Star Wars mania that really grips him, back when it was all fresh and exciting.UK toy storeshttp://www.juniorbrickie.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-36315720955946049862010-05-07T18:16:05.250-04:002010-05-07T18:16:05.250-04:00Oh god, all those banana seats on the Bike aisle i...Oh god, all those banana seats on the Bike aisle in Children's Village... too much!
