Star Wars for Christmas in 1978
I still remember the excitement of Christmas in 1978. This was the first holiday with real Star Wars toys, remember the original figures came out in 1978, not 77. The 77 holiday season had a mail in coupon from Sears for the figures when they were available. This collection of un-opened 1978 merchandise is worth a fortune on eBay, but these are merely boxes stored away at the Star Wars head quarters. You can also find a link to the Super 8 version of the film on here, which I also had. Most of the items on this page I had as a kid, and several I still own. The joy of Star Wars for the holidays, 30 years ago.
