Apologies to those of previous or subsequent generations, but the late seventies/early eighties was the perfect time to be a kid. Children’s TV was great, food was tasty and chock full of stimulating additives, Action Man was at the peak of his powers, and video games were about to hit the mass market. Best of all, we got wave after wave of fantastic popcorn movies, from the Moore Bonds to Raiders, Superman and, of course, Star Wars. We collected the figures, bought the vehicles, read the comics, rubbed on the free-gift transfers, and saw the movies over and over and over again. If there had been such a thing as Star Wars Lego, we would have played with it until our fingers bled.
