Junk man I actually figured out the millennium falcon I have is actually fairly rare it’s worth like 100$ well it actually used to be my brothers when I was little so yeah
I have the super-rare "yellow" Stormtrooper variant. Not only is he completely yellow, the black paint is largely missing and he has extra swively (loose) limbs. Plus, he comes with factory-original dirt caked into all the crevices of his helmet. I bet I could get a lot for it on eBay. (that was sarcasm)
My old school mates dad used to work at palitoy in the uk who made the uk star wars merch,he used to bring him two figures home every couple of days, one for the loft and one to play with.Last time i saw him his dad still has every figure boxed mint condition in a box,not seen the light of day since the rotj era
Kenner could have made a throne for the Emperor with the “trap door” feature, like the Dewback and Tauntaun, so you would just stand the Emperor up in the chair and it would be sculpted to look like he was sitting down.
If I’d kept all my Kenner Toys in their package I’d be a rich man today but I would have lost out on all my enjoyment of playing with them when I was a child
There’s a store in my hometown I want to dig through their basement. Back in 78 or so it was a hardware store with a sweet toy department in the basement and a LOT of Star Wars display and advertising. I like to think it’s still all down there gathering dust
I left my Chewbacca outside on the porch and he sat in the sun and rain for a few days and when I found him he had green limbs. That's how I played with him for the rest of the 80's
I heard a rumor that the green arms occured if you used that Virtual reality contraption too much. You know, that machine Lumpy used, to see Dianne Carroll, (The brown colored lady), from the holiday special. Cheers.
Would of been cool if Kenner re-released the Death Star playset slightly retooled for Return of the Jedi. The Emperor's throne replacing the cannon on the top level, some new cardboard panels showing the under construction exterior. But what to do with the trash compactor, hmm...
I was thinking about combining 3 or 4 of them with the elevators in the center. Can add more gray levels & recreate the landing bay on the ground floor
My cousins had the fully assembled puzzle of the Millenium Falcon cockpit scene framed and hung up on their wall. This puzzle was huge! My great-aunt (their grandmother) assembled it. She was a whiz at putting puzzles together.
Shmi Skywalker, Anakin's mother, married Cliegg Lars who was Owen's father. That would make Owen and Anakin step brothers. Thus Owen and Beru would have been Leia's aunt and uncle as well.
I have a loose retro Chewie figure I found on eBay a while back and It has the copyright year of 1995 and was confused at first until you pointed out the four pack. Thanks for the info Junkman 👍🏼😎
My favorite puzzle was the Mos Isley Checkpoint. Any image that had Stormtroopers and / or Sandtroopers captured my attention. I so wanted a set of TK armour when I was growing up.
I had to revisit the scene to make sure as I thought Luke entered the scene from the AT-AT. Oh well! This was still a very informative video as always. Always enjoyable and fun!
My old man was a general contractor and he built me a wooden AT-AT before the toy came out. He even put a door underneath so I could recreate the Luke scene from Empire.
sorry, not the ATAT door, that was the door to the landing pad. you would need to run the entire scene to see it, when they turn Luke over to Vader.... Just the nerd in me can't handle that oversight!!!!
Junkman, keep up the great videos and commentary! I can always count on you to bring us the hidden gems in the Star Wars universe. Also, I didn’t realize we had so many professors watching your channel.
It’s because ReAction Super7 has been doing a lot of action figures of popular movies, TV shows, cartoons, rockstars, and horror icons that are designed like old Star Wars 12-back style such as Karate Kid, Big Trouble in Little Chinatown, Breaking Bad, Transformers G1, Voltron, TMNT, KISS, and Universal Studios Monsters. It’s becoming popular among collectors. That’s why Hasbro has been releasing retro original 12-back Star Wars toys. They’re also styling The Mandolorian figures in retro 12-back style.
You should have just killed your brother. Problem solved. It worked for me, but please get your parent's permission first. Also, batteries not included. That's really the only downside. Guess you take the good with the bad. :) Cheers.
Although some of your views are not in line with mine, I still love how you can come up with new talking points about old toys. At the end of the day who cares how you say AT-AT.
@@jediknightjairinaiki560 - I actually wouldn’t be surprised if I had one but do not recall getting any. I’m only glad they’re date stamped and the weapons are different 💕
Yeah, I remember seeing tons of those things at TRU in 1996 thru 1997. They may have been released in 1995, but i was stationed in Japan and didnt come back to the US until mid-96. I passed them by every single time.
Love the shirt, but I have to tell you that an apostrophe *never ever* makes a noun plural. The make :rerpro" plural you just add a "s". Hope this helps.
One of the major retailers Christmas catalogs, during the ROTJ era, had a picture of 3PO in the Ewok throne with bent knees. Had to be Sears, Best, Wilson's, or Edisons. I know it was just customized but at the time, I wanted that figure.
Planet Puff was discovered by amateur astronaut Reyn Geyer during a secret independent space mission in 1968. After harvesting some of the planet's spongey surface, he brought it back to Earth and sold it to Parker Bros, who marketed it to children under the name "Nerf."
If a customizer wanted to create that chair for the Kenner Emperor - design it like the Tauntauns / Dewback, with the emperor's sitting legs sculpted in place. Might have to start working on that one!
Hey J-man. I just wanted to thank you for clearing up the Skywalker family tree, for me. My friends and I are always arguing about weather Owen and Beru were Aunts and Uncles to Princess Leia, just like Luke. Now I know the truth. Thanks again for clearing that up.
I got lucky and walked into Wal-Mart this summer and got the whole wave 2 of retro Empire figures. They put out one case with each one in the set (even Boba Fett! Score!) Except of course the exclusive Snowspeeder Luke. Haven't seen em on pegs since. And they were $6! Couldn't believe it.
My dad delivered furniture for a living. At one delivery, in a yard, he found a Chewbacca with green arms and green legs. He brought it home to me. I must have 5 or 6 yrs old.
"Calf muscle" :) haha Alot of these I didn't know. Thanks for sharing! I've heard of Mr. Greenlimbs, but I've never heard of a Bespin Luke with grey limbs til I saw it at a comic shop. I grabbed it just in case. Ironically, I saw the green limbs Chewbacca in the same display case. Luke's head sculpt is slightly different, mainly in its hair and eye line. Is this figure rare?? I've asked Google several times, but can't get an answer. I really enjoy your videos as always. Thank you for doing this one. :)
Since Junkguy is too busy. Allow me to try and answer your question. As far as I know, the value is around the same, but I havn't checked in years. Best thing to do is look on ebay. They can save your search and actually email you when a new item is up for sale! Cheers
Yes know about the Apostrophe on my shirt. It’s there for reason for someone to see and get :)
😆 I got it.
Junk man I actually figured out the millennium falcon I have is actually fairly rare it’s worth like 100$ well it actually used to be my brothers when I was little so yeah
A bong and a blintz
The weapons.
Forget the figures.
It’s the weapons who are fucked.
I can't help but feel this is related to the video Retroblasting recently did 🤔

🤯
Which rainy day is he waiting for exactly? He'd probably be worth more than a million dollars or close to it.
I rember as a kid he had 15 jawas to play with,they were rare in the uk,it was one of the few i never had.
Lets.find this dad
Yes! :)
Kenner could have made a throne for the Emperor with the “trap door” feature, like the Dewback and Tauntaun, so you would just stand the Emperor up in the chair and it would be sculpted to look like he was sitting down.
Could be fun. Would make it look like all that was left of the Sheevster was just his upper half.
Like Mr. Snoke. Lol

Maybe there could be some E.T. Atari games too!
We all know what Kenner should've made back in 1980 but never did, the Cloud City/Bespin playset. All we got was the cardboard flimsy Sears version.
I left my Chewbacca outside on the porch and he sat in the sun and rain for a few days and when I found him he had green limbs. That's how I played with him for the rest of the 80's
So Chewbacca basically turned into mossman lol
Swamp thing.....
How the hell did we make it through 78-84 Star Wars collecting with only 1 Chewbacca
1 Darth Vader
1 Stormtrooper
1 Yoda etc....
I heard a rumor that the green arms occured if you used that Virtual reality contraption too much.
You know, that machine Lumpy used, to see Dianne Carroll, (The brown colored lady), from the holiday special.
Cheers.

@@ringokageyama6439 somewhere online once I saw someone did a complete circle with like nine of them.
My cousins had the fully assembled puzzle of the Millenium Falcon cockpit scene framed and hung up on their wall. This puzzle was huge! My great-aunt (their grandmother) assembled it. She was a whiz at putting puzzles together.
The classic 4 pack from 1995 was sold here in Australia through Big W which is the Australian version of Wal-Mart
I lost my chewbacca in the garden for months. Eventually my dad found it. I remember it all turning green not just the arms.
" .. not just the arms, but the legs .. and the torso, too.
IT'S ALL OBI-WAN'S FAULT!!"
Hahah :) sorry, had to :)
I suppose Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru were also Leia's aunt and uncle too...
No, no relation
They weren't even blood relation to luke, they are related to the guy who their grandma was sold to but only after she had her one kid
@@irondice5183 no it's the same relation, aunt and uncle by marriage.
Shmi Skywalker, Anakin's mother, married Cliegg Lars who was Owen's father. That would make Owen and Anakin step brothers. Thus Owen and Beru would have been Leia's aunt and uncle as well.
I have a loose retro Chewie figure I found on eBay a while back and It has the copyright year of 1995 and was confused at first until you pointed out the four pack. Thanks for the info Junkman 👍🏼😎
Kenner, forget your planet puff! We needed a Bespin set! Bespin set! At the 3 3/4 inch scale.
My favorite puzzle was the Mos Isley Checkpoint. Any image that had Stormtroopers and / or Sandtroopers captured my attention. I so wanted a set of TK armour when I was growing up.
You showed the wrong door as the AT-AT door, that was just an elevator for the landing pad
OMG Junkman!!! What were you thinking
I had to revisit the scene to make sure as I thought Luke entered the scene from the AT-AT. Oh well! This was still a very informative video as always. Always enjoyable and fun!
Yup. The door luke comes out of is the at-at.
My old man was a general contractor and he built me a wooden AT-AT before the toy came out. He even put a door underneath so I could recreate the Luke scene from Empire.
Thats awesome
So much better than politics, Thanks for my fix.
I didn't know most of those, so thanks for sharing! I hope your son's surgery goes well!
Honestly Cosmo Curse sounds like something straight out of Marvel's original Star Wars run.
Yep, they had some strange stories those first few years.
As a middle-aged Star Wars fan (and Alabama native), I’ve really enjoyed this UA-cam channel. Please keep them coming buddy!
The "Vizier" mentioned on the Star Destroyer box illustrations must have been a 2-decade early premonition of Palpatine's assistant-ish Mas Amedda. 😸
I don't have to have joints with my action figures either, I prefer bowls , lol
I was looking for this comment.
sorry, not the ATAT door, that was the door to the landing pad. you would need to run the entire scene to see it, when they turn Luke over to Vader.... Just the nerd in me can't handle that oversight!!!!
yes I guess most didnt get the joke, I thought adding the "right??" text would help but didnt it seems :(
Planet Puff, soundz like a retail outlet for buying weed.
Were people at Kenner really so ignorant that they thought "Executor" meant the same thing as "Executioner?"
They could've copyrighted an Asteroid field playset, just a box of potatoes and old shoes?
I only had C3p0 in the large scale when I was little & it really bugged me. The fingers on one hand broke off just to add further irritation.
I love the relaxed, casual approach to all your videos. Thank you for not editing out that you had to check your notes to prompt you. :-)
its just a lot easier :)
Great video! You found the hidden entrance (even for Darth Vader) in AT-AT! :p
Planet Püff is C-3PO's home world... According to The Simpsons.

not just super 7, retro in in style now and all toys company are doing it

LOL I still have my old SW blaster from i think 1981ish . 42 million is insane !
Great video junkman thanks
Some of the best puzzles came from Star Wars.
Love the shirt, but I have to tell you that an apostrophe *never ever* makes a noun plural. The make :rerpro" plural you just add a "s". Hope this helps.
did you read the pin comment at the top of the comment section or just rush to write a comment? :)
@@ThatJunkman I rushed to try to help you. Don't worry. I learn from mistakes.
I do enjoy your videos, Junkman!

I love that shirt.

Hey Junkman, who do you get your phone service through?
At & T?
lol yes
Thank you Sir
My chews limbs turned green
Chewie 😁
Pretty awesome facts...👍🏼💯✔
Who is that @ 3:30? Din't recall him! \m/
JM love the new shirt! Retroblasting is good for starting fires too!
Every do a video on the original toy helmets ? I had the Darth Vader one but the velcro didnt work on the back to hold on the top lol.
In England in the 70s there was a game show called 3.2.1 and on it there was a robot called dusty bin maybe it's based on this 🤷♂️
Oh wow..8:19 to 8:30ish, Junkman you kiilll me! I had to pause again after watching it a 4th time...
I like joints with my actions figs!!! ... That throne is cool, was the action fig a prototype aswell
Hey Junkman,where could one pick up the shirt you are wearing in this video?
JunkmanMerch.com but that shirt for now is 1 of a kind
You don't realize how big the kenner star destroyed playset is until you see one in person
Cool facts Junkman 😎
I was the 501st like. Does that make me a Stormtrooper or a pair of jeans.
The word ‘Repros’ doesn’t require an apostrophe. As it’s plural, not in reference to ownership. The more you know. 😜
I know ;) but there is a reason for it.
He’s a pea brain don’t try to explain basic grammar to him he can’t handle it
I didn’t even know about the large-scale threepio and artoo. I had Luke, Chewie and Vader.
Weren't the Planet Puffs the large size Leia hairdo?
Yes!! I had one! Yes. Green armed Chebacca is true.
Ah, do I see Leias thermal detonator in Boba Fetts equipment at 8:16?
yes you do
You got the AT-AT door wrong!
yes I know :)
I should have known better than to doubt your Star Wars knowledge. In my defence it’s late over here. Keep up the good work!
At 1:43 Bespin Leia is hanging upside-down. No way that would get by today.
and they didn't then. she was replaced before the release of the box :)
@@ThatJunkman Very true.
I like joints with my action dolls. When I'm high, I can see the action dolls are judging me.
That's right! We don't need no frikkin' joints!

Well the prequels did that :)
Great Saturday Video Thank you 🏆
I had the large scale 3-PO and R2.
I never realized that door was from the at-at, I always thought the establishing shot was unrelated, lol. Isn’t that shot special edition only..?
I was asking if that what It is, I wasn't sure ;)
I have the green limbs Chewbacca!!
I should remodel my bathroom into the emperor's throne room. I'll turn the toilet into the throne.
I heard of Chewie's green bow caster but not green arms!
