1979 Newspaper Ad for the Star Wars Collectors Case
I’ve written about carrying cases before (see “Missing: The Action Figure Carrying Case”), and for some reason we’re still not seeing action figure makers producing carrying cases. Wanna store your Hot Wheels toy cars in an official carrying case? No problem!!! Wanna store your action figures in an official case? Nope.
As we know, there was a time when action figure carrying cases sold so very well that toymakers even produced “for use with” generic cases. I posted pics of such a case over the weekend, but not I’m losing focus and forgetting that what I really want to do is direct you to this 1979 newspaper ad. Hey, a Star Wars action figure carrying case!
