I was 11 when A New Hope came out and I loved it. But I never had the toys! I'm not sure how available they were in the UK to start with. I know a friend had a Star Wars digital watch and I was jealous of that. I know I saw TV ads for the toys at some stage and would have loved them, but I had plenty of other toys. Action Man (combat doll) and Lego were my big things. We didn't have the internet to distract us.

Oh man I used to play with Lego for 12 hours a day sometimes. We only had the plain yellow guys with those smiley faces... but I could pretend they were Star Wars guys!!!
I didn't even have the Lego men. Used to make my own that were two 2x2 pieces with 2x1 between them. In my mind they looked better :) Imagination is a powerful thing. I used to build some very square space craft
That is awesome! I still love to see my son playing with Lego... but it is so different. We had to design Star Wars like ships... now you can buy a freaking perfect millennium falcon set!
