Bummer.
You would think it would kill them. And perhaps it did play its part in the downfall of Kenner (that and constantly rehashing molds for other series (anyone recall how the Ewok Village was used for the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves toys?). But, being a kid and as hard on SW toys as I was, the fact that Kenner did this was quite welcomed by me and my parents and we took advantage of it at every turn. The other great thing about it is that most of the time that I was playing with SW toys was while I was living in Kentucky and Kenner was just up north of the river in Ohio. Turnaround on replacing toys was next to nothing. They would even send you boxed up new versions. I loved that company.

Geez, this for the woman who pulled you out of school to just to catch the first showing of ROTJ? For shame.
At least give her a plastic bag in case it rains.
I figured I'd spite her and give her a cardboard box from the Millennium Falcon toy.
