Michael visits a playtime Tatooine! 1981

Michael tell us,”This photo was taken July 29, 1981 on my 6th birthday. Here I can be seen posing with my Star Wars haul, most of which my mother had squirrelled away over time. She worked directly across from one of the Sears warehouses in Regina Saskatchewan which was also a major distribution centre. She frequently combed the ‘Bargain Basement’ at the Sears warehouse as it was called back then, and would often find old stock for pennies on the dollar. This explains that while Empire has already been released, the majority of figures/playsets seen here were from earlier Kenner releases.”
