When I was a kid in the late 70's I had every Star Wars toy there was. I would play with them for hours. The Millennium Falcon was my favorite for along time and then I found a ship that was cooler even though it was sadly not from Star Wars. Anyone remember the Eagle 1 ship from Space:1999? These things were almost 3 feet long! I could fit a shitload of Star Wars guys in them. The front section and the rear engines would come off to make a smaller ship. I got a lot of use out of mine.



Another cool toy was the Six Million Dollar Man. He had a hole in the back of his head that you could look through and see a little target.

Of course you couldn't have the Six Million Dollar Man without his enemy BIGFOOT (who was played by Andre the Giant!)

Remember the Bionic Man had some kind of fake skin on his arm that you could roll up and see the bionic parts underneath? You could also buy special arms and legs to swap out for different missions. Toys these days just seem a lot lamer than they did back in the 70's
