When Star Wars re-rolled out in the 90's, I was on board, like so many other 20 year old's at that time. I have fond memories of hunting for figures in those pre-Ebay days, when I had no wife or kids, just work and college, and had plenty of time to hunt at Walmart or Target late at night.
Amen, brother...those first POTF2 figures had that great Kenner-action-figure look and feel. I still have every single carded figure from those first few waves on the orange-ish cardbacks.
