"Holiday Disappointment" The Christmas Without Star Wars Toys! #1970smusic #aisong #starwars
The Christmas Without Star Wars Toys: The Kenner "Empty Box" Campaign of 1977
When Star Wars debuted in May 1977, it became an unprecedented cultural phenomenon, sparking a demand for merchandise that toy manufacturers hadn't anticipated. Kenner Products, the company that secured the license for Star Wars toys, was caught off guard by the film's explosive success. By the time the holiday season approached, Kenner faced a monumental challenge: there simply wasn’t enough time to design, manufacture, and distribute action figures and playsets for Christmas 1977.
Desperate to capitalize on the film’s popularity, Kenner devised a bold marketing solution: the "Early Bird Certificate Package." Instead of actual toys under the tree, parents could purchase an empty box containing a colorful cardboard display stand, stickers, and a certificate promising the first Star Wars action figures-Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and R2-D2-which would ship in early 1978.
While unconventional, the campaign became a legendary moment in toy history, turning disappointment into anticipation. It taught Kenner and the toy industry a valuable lesson about the power of Star Wars fandom, setting the stage for Star Wars toys to dominate store shelves and children's imaginations for years to come.

      The concept is that it's 1957 in a retro universe with video promotion at the front of the song. When the whole song is video, fewer listens. I had a few shorts in a 1950s radio station setting, but no one listened to those, so I just took them down. Thanks for listening, only available on You-Tube, not trying to make lies, only fun music.
