Star Wars Figures for $1.59
This newspaper ad from 1979 is for fans of Kenner’s Star Wars action figures of the seventies and eighties. This ad is similar in style to one that we saw in Collect These Figures and Accessories*, only this ad is clearer and offers up a slightly different mix of toys and at a lower price. How low? Well, $1.59 in 1979 dollars is the equivalent of $5.23 today, so the toys weren’t quite as cheap as they first appear. Still, $5.23 is less than a similar Star Wars figure would cost us today.
