I'm doing Christmas shopping for my 6 year old and looking at all the new Star Wars toys... and they suck!
Almost 40 years ago the toys were battery operated with sounds, lights and moving parts. The Tie Fighters had sounds and LED lights for the blasters. The Y wings had sounds and rotating canopy turrets. The AT-AT had light up and pulsing cannons. The Sand Crawler was remote controlled.
Now they only have... spring loaded missiles... for things that don't even have missiles.
- capitalism + inflationimbecile
- loved my 70s/80s SW toys.fadein11
- Basic electronics are cheaper and more accessible than ever. An LED or two would add, I'll wager, less than $0.25 to the product.ETM
- I guess the Millennium Falcon has some cool electronics, but I would hope so at about $150.ETM
- And you could actually have sex with the Princess Leia toys right ETM!kona
- Or the Millennium Falcom. Whichever floated your boat. Also, in my day I had to walk uphill to school! And I had to wear tube socks!kona
- those toy commercials are amazing. what was super interesting was the lack of official branding or even music from the movies..autoflavour
