MAD was the premier humor magazine for decades, and in 1977 they were at the top of their game with a satire of STAR WARS. MAD No.196 from January 1978 STAR ROARS features Lube Skystalker, Princess Laidup, Ham Yoyo, Chewbacco, Oldie Von Moldie, the robots Barstool and Cree-Pio, and the rest of the STAR WARS universe as only MAD Magazine could imagine it! Great cover with Alfred E. Neuman as the Evil Zader!
MAD Magazine No. 203 from December 1978 features “The Force and I”, a STAR WARS Musical. Funny stuff! Both MADS feature great cover art paintings by MAD artist Jack Rickard.
BONUS!: FREE STAR WARS CRACKED MAGAZINE included. Cracked was a big rival of MAD back then, and did their own pardody of STAR WARS characters. Included is Cy-Threepiu and Arty-Ditto’s “A Souvenir Photo Album of their Visit to Earth”, a full color inside front and back cover painting by Powers featuring the “STAR BAR” Cantina with the aliens all laughing at Sylvester P. Smythe, CRACKED Magazine’s janitor and cover boy! Cover date of January 1978. All 3 are in fair to good shape, some edge wear and corner rounding and a slight tear in the CRACKED back cover but otherwise in good shape with all interior artwork intact.

A UNIQUE GIFT FOR THE SERIOUS STAR WARS COLLECTOR!
The original 1977 Topps Star Wars Movie Photo Cards are a pictorial history of the most iconic film of all time, featuring hundreds of frame by frame images taken from the movie. Nearly a half century ago a young Star Wars collector painstakingly collected and organized the cards and stickers in a shoebox. This original collection has been recently rediscovered and given a major upgrade any hardcore collector will appreciate.
This deluxe collection starts with the FIRST THREE COMPLETE SERIES of 1977 movie photo cards and sticker sets. Each series contains 66 cards and 11 stickers, for a total of 198 cards and 33 stickers. The sets are in mint condition with sharp crisp corners and bright clear printing. They’ve been stored in the dark at room temperature. They’ve barely been handled and feel like new.
The sets have been transferred to archival quality deluxe card pocket display pages, which lets you enjoy these collectables while protecting from fingerprints, dirt and spills. The entire 31 page set is clad in a one of a kind deluxe ALUMINUM Collector Vault, machined in the USA from .032 gauge recycled aluminum. It’s strong, sleek and protects the valuable contents. The front is emblazoned with a 21st century Star Wars logo plate, 3D printed in the USA. The Vault measures 10.75″ x 11.75″ x 1″ thick. Each series divider has an original partial wax wrapper from each of the 3 original sets from 1977, along with an 8/.5 x 11 mini poster reprint of the retail box artwork.
As a bonus you’ll also receive an original Star Wars retail display box, the same box the cards were shipped in. It literally has “shelf wear” from being used as a display in a drug store in 1977. It’s been previously repaired with tape. See photos. The original collector will provide a certificate of authenticity, too. Photos are of actual items. Climate controlled storage and minimally handled. Sold as is. Sold as a set only. Only one set available.
1993 Fred Flintstone Talking Plush mint in box
Year: 1993

You can’t get much more vintage than caveman times! It’s the one and only hilarous John Goodman as Fred Flintstone from the original live action 1993 movie. Cuddly and soft, 15 1/2” tall Fred is wearing his classic sabertooth caveman outfit with blue tie and not much else. Yabba Dabba Doo! Fred says four phrases: “Wilma!”, “Down Dino Down!”, “Yabba Dabba Doo!”, and “Barney You’re My Best Pal.” This is not a pull-string, and requires one AA battery.
The box is 18” x 9” x 4” and in excellent condition. The edges of the packaging look rough in the photos, but the graphics were created that way on purpose for an authentic “prehistoric” look. Includes the original instruction booklet. Photos are of of actual item. Climate controlled storage and minimally handled. Sold as is. Only one available.
1977 Star Wars 1st Edition 12 Original Action Figures with Millennium Falcon
Imagine waking up Christmas morning in 1977. The biggest movie of all time, Star Wars had come out over the summer and what everyone wanted for Christmas was Star Wars toys. You tear open your presents, and SCORE! The Star Wars logo! But wait a minute, what’s this? It’s only a piece of cardboard, a sheet of stickers, an invitation to join the Star Wars Fan Club, and something called an “Early Bird Certificate”. What’s going on here? Where are the toys? Is Santa ripping me off?
If you’re like me, Christmas 1977 was kind of disappointing, because there were no Star Wars figures yet, no Luke, Leia, Han or Darth Vader. That’s because there was no guarantee Star Wars would be a hit, and by the time a deal was struck with Kenner Toys, there wasn’t enough time to make toy molds for Christmas 1977. Instead, Kenner gave kids a PROMISE of toys, if you mail in your “Early Bird Certificate”. And even then, when they finally showed up, you only got 3 figures at a time. It took forever to collect them!
The good news is you don’t have to go through all that trouble, because I collected them for you. This is the set of 1st Edition Star Wars figures that were promised with the Early Bird Certificate Kit. The kit is long gone, but here are the figures, mostly all original, with some reproduction weapons to replace those lost over time. Princess Leia’s cape was lost so she’s wearing a reproduction, but other than that the figures are all original and have the 1977 copyright date molded in. See the list below.
Also original is the 1st Edition Millennium Falcon, made in 1979, the first year made by Kenner. It’s in great shape, with a little wear on the sticker markings. The original cockpit canopy was lost at some point, as was the radar dish and the interior floorboards, but they’ve been replaced with reproductions. The original sound works too, and we’ll include 2 “C” batteries so the Falcon will be powered up and ready to set a new record for the Kessel Run!
The Millennium Falcon is nearly 2 feet long: 21”long x 15” wide x 9” tall from landing gear to the radar dish and turret guns. Also included is a two sided 11″ x 17″ reproduction of the original instruction sheet. If you want to see additional photos of any of the figures or the Falcon, just let us know and we’ll send them to you.
Here is the description of the figures, as stated on the original 1977 ad:
12 authentically designed figures in realistic STAR WARS costumes. All have moveable parts, scaled to fit inside STAR WARS Space Vehicles.
