Star Wars Rebel Transport, Scout Walker, and Micro Collection on Sale in 1982
This 1982 K-Mart newspaper ad brings Kenner’s Star Wars toys of the eighties to our modern computer and phones, showing off the Rebel Transport, Scout Walker, and a handful of Micro Collection toys all on sale. At $2.50 the factory rebate on the Rebel Transport may not look like much, but keep in mind that adjusted for inflation that’s the equivalent of a $6.19 savings today.

Are you familiar with the Chicago Tribune online archives? They have their regional example of this ad, except in Chicago K-Mart used photos of the actual toys instead of line art.

Most of the cities I’ve seen this ad in have the line art version so Chicago is somewhat of an anomoly.
