What was your first Star Wars merchandise?

Aside from the movies themselves on home media? Me, I'm not too sure. It was either a box of Rebel Hoth soldiers Miro Machines (my little sister got Stormtroopers, or was it the other way around? *shrug shoulders*) or LucasArts Archives Volume I and II box sets. So how about everyone else? We all at one time had to have owned a first Star Wars product... right?

Probably the Original Trilogy which we got for Christmas when I was about 7 or so.

Aw man, I have no idea. Probably my uncle/dad's old OT action figures.

Lego star wars stuff, I think the first ones were the speeder bike chase, and the snowspeeder, the first ones. I have a imense lego star wars collection.

Mine? Well my Dad had a bunch of stuff. But the first thing that was legitimately mine that I paid for with my own money was actually Star Wars: Battlefront. If we're reffering to gifts, then I got an electronic lightsaber after Episode II came out in 2002. Bear in mind that I didn't see Star Wars for the first time until 1999, and it took me a while to fully appreciate it and get hooked enough to want stuff.

I don't remember exactly what my first-ever Star Wars toy was, but when I first became interested in Star Wars my favorite toys were the Action Fleet vehicles - I'm pretty sure my first toy from that line was the X-wing that came with Biggs Darklighter.

After thinking really really hard about it and asking my brother, we decided this was the first set we got:

Too bad we don't still have that epic box.

Well, OTHER THAN the movies... probably some lego set. Maybe the Geonosian snubfighter and Jabba's Palace sets.

when empire strikes back came out I got a watch that plays the star wars theme..i loved it! Since then I have gathered many cool things like figures, models, masks, costumes and vehicles. My tusken raider outfit has been in parades and used by 501st peeps, now I use it during parties to be "the" coolest costume ever..I would buy some more stuff but no one really sells cool star wars stuff unless its a jillion dollars

My first Star Wars thing was the second version of the Lego B-Wing fighter, it's a looong time since I got it, but I still have it

A flimsy plastic darth Vader mask about 16? years ago as a free toy from a supermarket, I think I was five-ish so I didn't even know what the mask was from. I wore it a lot though, pretending to be some robotic superhero guy.

Then in 1999 when episode 1 came out I got interested in Star Wars and I got dozens of junk then precious to me

lego, posters, a jar-jar binks mug....

I also remember one of those lolly-pop things with (gross) candy (what the hell is that rockhard sticky translucent pink stuff anyway) at the bottom and a Qui-gon figure at the top who "slashed" his saber if you pushed a button. (In slow-mo, *bzzzzzzzzzzzt FLOP*, *bzzzzzzzzzzzzzt FLOP*)
At a later age I noticed that if one removed the lightsaber from his hands, he a made rather rude one-handed gesture. Hehe

I had something similar, a Darth Maul figure with his lightsaber hilt as a toy lightsaber and if you plugged Maul into it and pushed a button he was swinging around his saber.

Pretty fun, pretty fun...

I had to laugh there

Oh gosh, I can't remember.

It was either this:

Sadly, both of them are destroyed and are lost in my lego box somewhere in a million pieces.

Eh, finding all the pieces and putting them back together is half the fun of Legos.

I agree for full, except one thing

For me it's more like 3/4 of the fun.

I don't remember for sure, but this is what I have the earliest memories of.

Hidden/Spoiler:

I've still got it somewhere, along with a massive box full of similar sets and action figures of assorted sizes.
