MPC Star Wars Story

MPC Star Wars models will always remind me of a funny story, well if you're my dad, you wouldn't laugh.

You see in third grade, this cool kid named Andrew (that's his real name, cause I doubt he's a reader) brought in his fully assembled C3-PO model and somehow, i became "salesman of the year" and got Andrew to lend me the model for the evening.

So of course, i broke the elastic that held the damned thing together instantly when I got home. I panicked, it's in my nature and my folks offered to help.

My fleeting memory of this is my father in his undershirt mumbling "sonovabitch" toiling with C3-PO until the wee hours. I awoke to a fully assembled kit and a warning not to borrow other kid's toys. I was saved!

I didn't learn my lesson and when Andrew traded me for my "Incredible Hulk" treasury edition for his hardbound editions of "Superman and Batman: From the 30's to the 70's" I just let it go until the eight grade. I realized Andrew was just not that interested in his material possessions.

Pssst Andrew, I still have your books...
