The Take-Down Two.
Who do you call to lead a merry band of Rebels into battle? Oh yeah: Admiral Ackbar and General Lando “Lady’s Choice” Calrissian. That is of course if you want to kick some ass.

The Final Sale.
The Snow Patrol.
Empire Strikes Back toys are always quick to creep up on my photo radar. They were the last toys that I really collected and played with as a kid back in the early ’80s. What was the last bunch of toys you collected before rock ‘n roll and boys/girls took over?
