Today is the day we go all of the way back to October 3, 1977 and this newspaper article where the Dallas fall toy convention showed off lots and lots of space toys, and all because of the success of Star Wars. Ideal, who went on to have legal issues with Lucasfilm, is mentioned in the article, as is Mattel and Kenner. Totally worth a read, folks!
