Never did find a Bossk myself, and I always lusted after the pictures of him on the cardbacks.

I distinctly remember my first figures: Luke in Hoth fatigues, Imperial Officer (bowling ball helmet dude) and the Taun Taun with the slit belly.

Now that I recall that memory, it's blowing my mind because it must have been either my second or third birthday when my mom gave them to me, since I know I had a whole slew of figures by the time ROTJ came out when I was four. 

It's probably my first memory!

I had a tape of SW recorded from HBO, which I probably watched daily from age 2 to 4, and the HBO theme therefore calls up that SW thrill more than the 20th Century Fox fanfare.  You know the one: do-do-doooo, do-doooo, do-do do do.  Do-do-dooo, do-DOOO!  Do-DO-DOOO!

Dunh!  Dunh! Dun-nuh-nuuuunh!
