Star Wars at Osco
Man, this image is simple but packs a powerful memory punch to Christmas time 1979, that second wave of SW figures was pretty exciting. I may get it put on a T Shirt.

I know what you mean about the second wave of Star Wars figures. I've always loved those, especially the Cantina Creatures. I remember one day in 1979, I was at my grandmother's house, and my mother and sister showed up with 5 or 6 of those Star Wars figures. There's something about the colorful photos on the card backs that really got my attention. I actually paid $5 for a Greedo one on Ebay just for the photos on the back.
