All in, I didn't know that these were collectible, of course.

I ripped right into them to play with them like normal children do.

I didn't put it in a box on a shelf to try and keep it in mint condition.

That's weird to do, though, as a kid.

Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, maybe there were kids doing it.

I didn't know any.

We all played with them.

Sure.

I mean, that was originally the point.

I think it wasn't until much later that it became evident that you could sell them to people who wish they had them in the package still for a lot of money.

Yeah, and should we close later on with some of the more valuable ones?

All right, so that's a tease.

Everybody, should we take a break?

Yeah, we should.

Was that it about Star Wars, you think?

I don't have anything else, really.

I mean, there's a gazillion other things we could talk about, I guess, but what more do you need to know besides that they were huge hits?

That's it.

All right, we're going to take a break, and we're going to come back and talk a little bit about how these things are actually made.
