One reason (among many) Star Wars toys resonated was the cool packaging. No other was packaged in black. For the vehicles and playsets, they set up figures in a scene you would do yourself. The Dagobah playset was one of my favorites. Funny thing is, originally, it wasn't even my toy - my brother received it for his birthday. By then, he had grown out of it so it went directly to me.
This box has been sitting on a shelf on my garage so I figured I'd snap a few photos.
I remember getting this for Christmas. Specifically my dad building it. I got it with the Star Destroyer playset, which I also watched my dad build with eager anticipation of playing with it when he was done. I wish I had old photos of these kinds of things.
