I was 10 and and wanted the Boba Fett mail in, but you needed prood of purchases from 4 other figures to mail in to Kenner. So I went into the local department store with a pocket knife and sliced the bar codes off of 4 carded figures and took them home and mailed them in. No reciepts were needed back in those days! *sigh* It just makes me glow inside!
