LOL, nice one.

And no, I don't have a secret stock of unopened original Star Wars toys; my retirement nest egg is not that secure. I think I still have that one stormtrooper figure in a box of keepsakes somewhere. I found it some years ago when my empty nest parents sold the house in which I grew up and found it, along with a few other small toys, lost behind the refrigerator, in the heating vents and other odd places a child might hide things.

It turns out that my 4 year old nephew in the next generation of Star Wars fanatics; but only the bad guys apparently. My brother-in-law tells me that ever time he takes his son to the toy store, he wants more stormtroopers. He's building his own little army of them...

Oh, and bmulford and I will bring our My Book About Me editions to the next SF in SF meetup. I promise.

SW&D's version of this thread is pretty epic.

Oh yeah, and this photo doesn't even come close. There's some really choice ones of my parents from that era.

Nicely played. And it was a SW&D thread...ahh, thanks; I thought there was one somewhere.

As for me, then: 1974, another year, another pair of plaid pants.

On behalf of the sighted everywhere, I implore you to resist in the future. Thanks and regards.

I hope you have since evolved from such primitave fashions. Nice star wras collection though.

In the spring of '79 I was wearing my high-school uniform and hating every fibre of it ...

Wow! I would have killed for all those Star Wars toys. I had luke and the day I got his X-wing fighter was probably the happiest of my life until then.

I have some similar pics in plaid pants and enormous collars and I should try to scan them or something.

My cousins had quite a collection of Star Wars figures that they used for target practice with a .22 rifle that the little devils had filched from their father's closet unbeknownst to him.

Eheu fugaces! I turned 37 in 1979. It was a banner year for me--the year I started at Guns & Ammo after six years of unemployment and crapola jobs. A lot of my apparel at that time was kind of a fusion of Western and classic 70s. Embarrassing to think of it now.
