It's the year 1977 and your Mom and Dad just received in the mail a copy of the 1977 Sears Wish Book catalog.  You open it up to the different pages and lo and behold you see the different Star Wars action figures and vehicles that are available that year.  So what did you do?  You grabbed a No. 2 pencil and you started circling all of the action figures and vehicles you wanted for Christmas so that Santa knew what to bring by on Christmas morning!

This picture gives you a flashback on what times were like during this fun and exciting era!  I hope you enjoy it!  Do you live in Bedford or Bloomington Indiana?  If so, come see us this Wednesday from 11 am.-6 pm.   You will see many of these toys from the 70's that are listed here.
