When the toy store I worked at in the late 1970s closed in 1980, the boss offered us employees his leftover inventory at wholesale prices. One was a case of Kenner Star Wars figures, all new in their blister packs. I think it was a case of Chewbaccas. Anyways, we declined, so ubiquitous was Star Wars junk at that moment in time. If only we knew...
A case of Chewbaccas, what a great phrase Rob. It reminds me of a poem I had to do for my High School English exams, Robert Browning's A Toccata of Gallupis! A Gallupi isn't as collectable as a Wookie! I wonder if other readers have passed up on future treasures?
Absolutely great!:)ew
