I remember
him* turning up at my local toy shop when I was little and terrifying most of the kids to the point of tears**. Honestly, they'd have probably have been less scared if Freddy Krueger had turned up.
*May not have been him.
**May have included me.

Boba Fett turned up at mine
We all got given a form to mail order the first boba fett figure when Empire strikes back was released.
Really wish my dad had taken that off me and locked it away because it's probably worth a bit now.

Darth Vader at Redgates toy shop in Sheffield
This defined three stages of growing up to me.
1977. Oh my god why are they letting this cyclepath loose in a toy shop. He will kill EVERYONE.
1980. Wow. It's the guy from Star Wars. That's amazing.
1983. Boooo. It's just a member of staff in a suit.
