I never put any figures in my lunch box to take to school, but I did take a Power of the Force 2 Boba Fett in my pocket to school everyday...💁♂️
@@kingslowbrafas292 I was born at the end of October in 1986...🎂 I had a plastic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lunch box for first grade...🐢 But I didn't really take my lunch to school much, I just pretty much ate the school lunch always, and my favorite lunch was the mashed potatoes with chicken and noodles, the pig in a blanket, the pizza, also chicken patty day...🧒 I have no complaints about the 90's because the way I see it that is the last great generation where kids were actually kids, and I'm proud of that...👌🏼 We actually got out and did stuff in the outside world and rode our bikes...🚲 (*without helmets) We also had great toys and action figures as well, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Terminator, RoboCop, Street Fighter G.I. Joe style action figures, And just soooooo many great things...💯✔ Also I went to rummage sales and would get plenty of 80's toys such as Masters of the Universe figures and original Star Wars figures, so things was halfway decent...💁♂️
They probably had those circles to hold in the thermos
These lunchboxes are making me feel nostalgic. I didn't pack my lunch, but I remember kids at school that had cool Star Wars lunchboxes.
The best liquid to put in a blue star wars lunchbox thermos? Well, duh! blue milk ;)
I still have that same empire lunchbox with the thermos!haha still use it for lunch.
I believe the dent was to help keep the thermos in place
Yes. I think so. Thought that when I was editing the video
So wanted the Jedi box in 83. Got the Fall Guy instead.
I had the empire strikes back lunch box with the snow speeder! Loved it! It was bad ass!
I carried a trees worth of brown paper bags
I'm from the UK and had that Red plastic Darth Vader and stormtrooper lunch box! Available from Marks and Spencer if I remember correctly. Lots of good memories there, especially of the strawberry jam sandwiches!!!
Wow....I had the red plastic lunch box when I was a kid here in the UK and I loved it . I forgot it existed. This brought back some good memories!
I want the Empire one. I always see star wars and return.
Ii still own that Empire Strikes Back Lunch Box you held up first. It's a little rusty on the edhes. But still in good condition still with the thermos in it.
I STILL have my Wickett lunchbox and I LOVE IT
Wow, I can hear that smell too, and man do I miss it! Get metal or go home. The lunch box made the man.
the dimple is the keep the thermos from sliding back and forth...before that they used a curved metal brace the folded out
I have a couple modern metal lunchboxes - one has original trilogy on one side, prequels on the other.
Back in the day, I had the metal Pac-Man lunchbox.
I think you have the best one, Junkman. (I always bought the school's lunches, so I didn't carry a lunchbox.) But as a Star Wars collector, I have been wanting to get that Empire one, like yours. I saw one at a collectible shop recently, but it was a bit too expensive, so I will bide my time.
I had 2 of em a while back so I sent the junkman that one
Metal lunch boxes were the weapon of choice in my elementary school playgrounds.
Hear that smell?
I do.
I had that Empire Strikes Back lunchbox as a kid. I also took figures to school to play with during recess. I always put them in baggies tied shut so that they didn't get dirty.
Looks like the Canadian lunchboxes open up vertically and would have a lot of space inside.
That Japanese one is cool. They are into 'bento boxes' over there so that one looks a bit like a bento box.
I didn't have the other ones. I loved all the movies, but ESB was my favorite and still is. Most of my action figures and vehicles are from ESB as well.
Luke is probably meditating and trying to work with the Force on the box. It's a great painting.
The dent under the handle is to help keep the handle from getting stuck down.
I loved those thermoses! They really kept things hot or cold. The straw leaked a little if you shook it around too much but it was still cool.
Took a lunchbox to school from kindergarten right up through college. None of our public schools in my county had hot lunch programs. They did in college, but they weren't very good so I still used lunchboxes. Although by high school, I had a big appetite, so I took a little playmate box instead of these cool Thermos ones.
I had ESB, Muppet Show's Pigs in Space and Dukes of Hazard as a kid.
I'm afraid that my metal lunchboxes are all gone now. My mom tossed them out because of how dented and scratched up they were by the time I was in high school.
I love the sound of those smells too! I sported a He Man lunchbox when I was a kid. I was secretly jealous of my friends Star Wars lunchbox though
Junkman in the UK we only had plastic lunchbox, metal lunchbox where banned in UK as they can be used as a weapons....lol
i was 11 when star wars came out...you never get too old for star wars
Suffering some serious lunchbox envy watching this...made me hungry too
I love that Empire Strikes Back lunchbox. It's beautiful. I like how they got pretty much everyone and every scene on there.
The snowspeeders look odd though. Everything else is accurate. Could that be an early concept art version?
Luke's eyes are closed because he's using the Force. Come on, Junkman. :P You can see his arm out making the motion.
On that other on Han has his Bespin outfit on on Hoth lol. How did they manage to mess up that publicity photo? It's kind of a cheesy one anyway with them all pointing their guns towards the camera like that too.
Man the plastic lunchboxes sure are ugly compared to the metal ones! Loser lunchboxes is right! :D
I don't remember having any Star Wars lunch boxes. Definitely something I wouldn't forget. Too young for the originals anyway. Not sure if they made any in the 90s when the Special Editions and Power of the Force came out, when Star Wars was revving back up.
If I had to pick I'd love to take that Empire one you have to school!
Oh man....2nd grade...Proudly carried my EMPIRE STRIKES BACK lunchbox (like the one in your video) to school everyday. Carried my Bespin Luke in my lunchbox for two weeks after my birthday. Lunchbox highlights were: Peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich....lime kool-aid...fritos and hostess cupcake for dessert.....Those were the days! Wish I still had mine! The dent was to hold the thermos in place.
My generation never really used lunchboxes but I did have the metal Star Wars 1977 lunchbox that I kept some of my Star Wars action figures in
The only one I had was the Return of the Jedi lunchbox. Man, I loved that thing. I don't have it anymore, but my wife has the thermos from it. Kids these days just don't know how cool lunchboxes were. I really wish I could find one of the original Star Wars boxes.
A junkman good review The Den Circle on the top of the boxes to hold the thermos on and reason why they were from metal to plastic was because they were too dangerous and school for kids thank you brother great review
They actually made metal ones til 1985,then stop cause a kid got hurt, rambo was the last metal one made I think!
I talked about this in my other video on the boxes. It seems that it turned out the plastic ones was the bad ones. In 2002 the Center for Environmental Health discovered that many popular vinyl lunch boxes contained dangerously high levels of lead
I can still remember the smell of my SW lunchbox had..And I can remember how it changed from the beginning of the school year to early June..Like Jar Jar would say "Pee yousa!"..
I had that metal American Star Wars lunch box, and I kept it, and used it, until the Empire Strikes Back lunch box you have on your desk junkman came out.
Thanks for including the foreign releases.
Definitely had the original metal Star Wars one, can't recall for sure the rest. Possibly Steve Austin the Six Million Dollar Man, Spiderman, Planet of the Apes, and The Dukes of Hazzard
You want to go back in the day to 70's school days take a trip back and look at Ben Cooper Halloween Costumes, Diener rubber space erasers, and Tim Mee Laser Galaxy figures.
Take me with you
I used to have the metal star wars (A new hope) lunchbox, until some kids at my grade school kicked it hard enough to dent it in. I was told by them I'm too old to have a lunchbox, so .. that's my memory of star wars lunchboxes.. cool video, though, Junkman.
Being from Canada, we only had plastic lunch cans. Two of my friends had Star Wars (ANH) ones. I had the ESB one. My younger neighbour had the ROTJ version. They all came with thermos'.
I think I had the metal Empire Strikes Back lunchbox in like kindergarten or first grade. I know a lot of kids had one. I don't remember the ROTJ lunchboxes that much for some reason.
I was lucky enough to have a lunch to eat, plus when I did my lunch was placed in the plastic bag where the bread came in, I really wish I had owned any Star Wars lunch box, awesome video Junkman, thank you!
I had a pac man and still have my empire and returns lunch box also have the red wicket one wish it was done in metal also the dents were to keep the drink from sliding around inside but my Star Wars figures also helped that out lol
I have all 3 metal ones now, but since I am Canadian, I had access to only looser plastic as you say lol!
Six Million Dollar Man
My favorite was the Clash of the Titans lunchbox. Would love to get one now; just for the nostalgia value.
I just missed all the SW lunchboxes by the time I went to school so it was The A-Team & MASK ones for me 👍🏻 & being in England they were plastic which didn’t bother me as I don’t think metal ones were available over here!
The first Empire box was nicest. 👌
I really like those Canadian luchboxes, but not as lunchboxes.
Those would be great for SW vehicles. I love the first two.
I NEED all 3 metal lunchboxes!
I saw a SW lunchbox at an antique mall for cheap, but for some reason I never made a move on it.
I view them as another version of a figure case.
Anything cool to put my figures in. :)
I like the blue metal 'Empire' lunchbox the best, I really like the artwork on it.
"I'll give my entire lunch for that IG-88 figure!" 🥪🍏 🍪🍺🕸
Thanks for the video
I always wanted these metal Star Wars lunch boxes but I focused on getting the figures.
I had King Kong and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
I picked up an ESB lunch box today. I was stoked. Then you pleated this video. Pretty cool. Not any good review videos on UA-cam. Good video.
I had the black metal one and then the ESB red plastic one. Good times!
I didn't have a Star Wars related lunch box but I did have one from the Disney movie "The Black Hole". It came with a thermos too👍👍
I also have a The Muppet Movie metal Lunchbox as well.
I had that black lunch box from the first film back in second grade
I love the old lunch boxes. I have hunted them down over the years, but unfortunately my mom threw out my original ones because I was a bit rough on them.
I asked for the Empire Strikes Back metal lunchbox, but Mom came home with the Star Wars one instead. I was really disappointed at the time, but I've still got it, and will never give it up. Still want the ESB one, though...
I never had a Star Wars lunch box, but I did have Indiana Jones. Man that thing was an awesome weapon.
I had and have the Temple of Doom one
Seems the “blue handle” version also came in a “red handle” version. Both did not have any of the side panel photos that the later boxes had.
Fried bologna and cheese with sweet tea and a vanilla flavored store brand moon pie! Oh yeah!
Man. Fried bologna..... it’s been years. So good
We in the UK had plastic lunch boxes I really wanted a Star wars one but I had an A-team one
Still got my original metal x wing box. Got it at a garage sale in 79 I think. No thermos. Kind of rusty but still reminds me of Peanut butter and Jelly. Full of Micromachines now. Before that had a U.S. Mail lunch box. Little strange. Like lunch in a mail box.
That's the Empire lunchbox I sent you junkman!
Yes! Thanks again! Love it
@@ThatJunkman thanks for putting it in you video
Hey now I had the Wicket lunchbox lol
The Dent keeps the thermos from moving.
I had the metal Empire Strikes Back back in the day.
I had to Master of the Universe lunchbox and the Fall Guy metal lunch box
I had a Gremlins metal lunch box.
I had the metal Return of the Jedi lunchbox, the first time I was ever able to talk my mom into a brand new metal lunchbox for school. I used that box for several years. My question is why is there a slot in the thermos cap just perfect for a coin? I know you use the hole as a handle for the cup, but they always have a slot like they are imitating a slot machine.
Think you answered your own question with the handle, just to easily grab the lunch 🥙 box 📦
I had the same one you have there , Junkman .
2nd and 3rd grade .
Mine rusted .
That joke was riceist 😂 10,000 portions to you
I had the Mos Eisley/ XWing box.
Note that the inconsistency is where Luke and Ben are seated in the cockpit. In the movie they occupied different seating. I know this is off topic but, did you have the Star Wars tube socks, the lunchbox triggered that memory for me.
Thank you.
Don’t recall any socks lol
The Japan box is saying スターウオーズ is suta-uo-zu. It is how we say Star Wars.
I want a rusty venture lunch box
Still own my metal return lunchbox
Brown bagged it and generic heavy metal thermos with apple juice:( Mom would not pay for a lunch box!!!! Dammit I got screwed! However I love them and I have quite a few in my collection.
I guess I was a loser with my plastic Empire Strikes Back lunchbox. :(
I had the last one you showed... Red with the X-Wing.
My older brother had the metal Star Wars lunch boxes , But i wasn't as fortunate, cause i wasn't born until 82
I remember mettle luch box
Think the indent was due to the way the clasp was put on the box.
I actually have one not in the video. Do you know any info on the vintage tin Wocket the Ewok lunchbox made in 1984? I can't find any info hardly any info on it.
Plastic?
Unfortunately for grades 1st through 3rd I had a vinyl lunchbox so I guess I was a super loser. If your wondering what I mean by a vinyl lunchbox. It was made like the old matchbox car carrying cases. Heavy card stock covered with a nearly Indestructible vinyl material. I carried that thing for 3 school years. My parents finally had mercy on me and let me pick out a metal lunchbox for 4th grade. It was a Wild Frontier metal lunchbox with a built in spinner game on the back. I was the cool kid until the spinner broke off about mid way through my 5th grade year. By then I was ready to just move on to the paper bags like the middle school kids.
i hated packing an apple or banana because my tater chips tasted like banana.damn.and i was the dummy who filled my thermos with pop.leaked all over my lunch.
my buddy would destroy his at the end of the year cos his mom would get him new ones.he had empire strikes back.dukes of hazzard twice and knight rider.crazy i can remember that.i had SUPERMAN THE MOVIE. FALL GUY. and return of the JEDI
I had that Pac-Man lunch box
I had tupper ware my parent's were skint buying star wars toys for me and zoids for Xmas and birthday but I had other family for christ sake I'd love one of these even as a kid I had lunchbox enve mmm er
Does anyone have the yellow top for a Thermos? I need one!
LOL, and the LOSER lunchbox , LOL
I have all three with thermos's
Hey man I just found your videos. I love it. I'm from the south and you rarely see a country boy on UA-cam talking about anything that's not like racist or something. I'm from Rome Ga myself...anyway are you aware if a variant of the metal Jedi box? Mine was similar but in my memory it was different. Thanks
How so? And Rome, GA nice place. I’m down in Macon
I hade both smarmfs the muppits
Think i have one
I had Adam -12
I had that ugly ass red ROTJ lunchbox with R2D2 and Wicket but I thought it was cool. I had this problem with all the thermos that I dont if faulty plastic but the drink inside was always seep out making my sandwich all soggy.
no figure today
Nope. Took a break. Returns next Monday
i think i had a star wars lunch box once but i broke
I didn't have any ☹
First 😁
I still have my original Jedi lunchbox (with my name and grade still on it. Thanks mom). I picked up the mini repros they did last decade. I love these things. The artwork is the highlight for me. I take it you don't like plastic, but I do have a Galoob 1988 Star Trek: The Next Generation lunchbox w/thermos. It's the only one I'm aware of. Great video as always Junkman. Have a good one.
EDIT: To be clear, I had the metal Jedi lunchbox, not the plastic one.
