Kenner’s Star Wars Death Star Playset in the 1979 Milwaukee Journal
I’ve told you guys before that someone should probably take away my access to the Google newspaper archives. While researching newspapers for my new books (Kickstarter page) I ran across this Toy Country USA ad from the December 9, 1979 issue of the Milwaukee Journal. Check it out, Kenner Star Wars toys!
The ad shows the Land of the Jawas playset, action figures, the radio-control R2-D2 toy, and even the Death Star playset! And just look at those prices!
Now this isn’t the first time that we’ve seen a newspaper ad for the Land of the Jawas playset; take a look at this February post for another advertisement featuring this cardboard and plastic playset.
