I would go back to the 80's too Hal! what a time to grow up! I also loved the saturday morning cartoons back then. I cherished the SW commercials featuring new action figures, playsets and ships, in the midst of watching Thundarr the barbarian, looney tunes, D & D, pacman, johnny quest etc!
Hey Hal I was also a huge Transformer/GIJOE fan, and still am. I would race home from school back then in order to catch the cartoons, along with Voltron and HE-MAN!
I didnt have one of those giant yellow/red toy lightsabers, but my friends did and we had some fun duels! We would end up whacking each others' back and butt and I'd have some bruises the next day! Great fun! I do remember them breaking easily too.
I loved it when would snow heavy enough for school to be cancelled. I loved building mini-snow bases and having my own hoth battles! My snowspeeder got too much snow in the battery compartment and stopped working! My friend would bring over his AT-AT!
That's funny you say that...I did the same thing. My elementry school was right next to my house and I would run straight home after the bell to catch the transformers and gi-joe. I always ended up missing the first 15 minutes of the transformers so I started recording it with our new VCR in the mornings on the bozo show. I can still remeber the first vcr we got. xmas of 84. the first movies I rented were dirty harry and the spy who loved me.I didnt bother renting star wars cause that was on cable all the time back then. when empire came out on video that was a big deal though. i waited forever for that to come out and rember having to put my name on a waiting list at the video store. My brother and I got to order a pizza and we set down in front of the tv amazed. I had only seen empire one time at the theater and remebered little of it except what i had in books and magazines only scenes i could remember were hoth and luke getting his hand choped off.
Speaking of the bozo show did anyone here ever see anyone actually win the grand prize game? I never seen 1 kid make the final bucket.
