Got my 1st HT SW figure today:

Saw the movie when I was 10, about the 2nd week after it was released. Jaw on floor...

Huge fan, have many of the original 77-83 figures in 2 Vadar cases. Had resisted buying HT for space [only Marvel] but AWAY WE GO :) :)
 
I don't remember those, but I do remember my mom coming home one day with 6-8 figures.

I remember getting it for Christmas and being really disappointed having to wait several months for the figures to arrive. I got to be on a first name basis with our mailman!:lol
 
I honestly don't think anything related to any property we are familiar with or hold dear will ever be any good to most of us.
In addition, I think that we have all become so jaded we never really like anything.

Most of what we found entertaining in the 70's and 80's would not come close these days.

I was a child in the 70s and 80s so I get why a lot of that stuff got burned into my brain -- but if you look at a lot of films from back then, they simply wouldn't get anywhere today, if they got made at all.

[...] not to mention we’re limited in what we have seen in our lives up to that point.

But I think people are putting unrealistic expectations to these and any movies that are tied to something from their youth. People really seem to be expecting to be blown away the same way they were when they were 10 and that’s never going to happen.

Yes to all that, and I would add that the world in general was limited in what it had seen to that point. It's not like special effects are going to shock and awe us anymore. Impress us, sure. But the novelty is long gone.

I have to agree. Many films I saw as a youth more than likely wouldn't get made today but then again there are current films that are made today that make me scratch my head.
