Still if there hadn't been no Kellys Heroes,we would not of had An American Werewolf In London either...

John Landis was an uncredited production assistant on Kellys Heroes,and said he witnessed a funeral in Yugoslavia where they were shooting,and they buried the guy with something (can't remember what it was now he said it was) to prevent him turning into a werewolf (that's the jist of the story) he has mentioned it several times on dvd extra etc...

I have a hardback showing all the Star Wars figures released from the first three movies and beyond. I love that book. I was lucky enough to collect all the figures as they were released with the movies. However any that came out after Jedi i'd grown out of it by then.

I also had a few vehicles such as a Land Speeder, Scout Walker, Imperial Troop Carrier, X-Wing Fighter, Droid Factory, Sand Crawler playset, Death Star playset and this large Rebel Shuttle which housed all the figures.

A friend had the Ewok Village and Millennium Falcon play sets but i didn't. They were awesome toys.

Star Wars was pretty much all the toys i bought. Never was into Scalextric or remote control cars or Airfix or Action Man, that sort of thing although i did collect Action Force toys in my early high school years. I loved them*

*Times were a lot simpler then in the early 80's.

Think it was 88-89 our Toymaster store moved to a smaller location and next best thing was John Menzies and Woolworths and they rarely sold Star Wars figures, £3 pocket money spent was on the Spectrum game.

I bet the game was awesome.

I bought a lot of figures from Toymaster in Burnley. It was a better shop when it was called Benns though.

It was awesome, some good hours passed playing that and the game Treasure Island. I remember when Robin Hood came out and Toymasters done a big deal about promoting the film and selling these
