What was (Or still is) your single favourite Star Wars toy?

What was it? What did it look like? Do you still have it? Why did you like it? When did you get it? etc

For me it was the ROTJ Speeder Bike…

I think it hit Europe in '85 (I may be wrong) so I probably got it for that Christmas, as I recall, all my presents that year were ROTJ figures.

The reason I liked it so much is of course because if you pressed the button on the back it violently exploded! (At least it seemed violent in my imagination). Then you had to pickup all the pieces clip them all back together and blow it up all over again. The detailing was really good too with the moveable flaps and laser-cannon underneath. I must have liked it because unlike most of my toys, I didn’t lose any of the parts for years. The figures always looked rubbish because it never fitted the seat properly but you can’t have everything.

Look over there, a vintage commercial…

It’s pretty sweet that they are remaking it for the Black Series…
