Back in 1980, your Star Wars cred could be nudged up by owning one rare mail-away Boba Fett action figure, wearing the first ringer tee bearing the Empire logo, or labelling the front of your Pee Chee with Empire Strikes Back sticker letters.
Thanks to fan Tony Damata, whose virtual sticker generator serves up those old hard-to-find letters (which we tore through countless Empire gum card packs to collect), we can now badge our names all over the blogosphere in Star Wars style — just type, click, and save!
Wait, are you telling me that my Star Wars cred ISN’T nudged up by that stuff now? Damn it!…
It is with me, Jim, for jumping on this before I did.
Ah, yes. A childhood friend of mine was told to keep an eye out for the one sticker I didn’t have in my collection. “Sure,” he said. The next week I saw the prized rare sticker adhered to the side of his bookcase. If the phrase existed, I would have said “WTF?” His response, “I was sure you already had that one. Sorry!” Thanks for bringing back that painful memory.
Loved It! Loved It! Loved It!!!
