Yep, best birthday gift I ever got. It was a VG-ish copy and I remember the ridiculous price my parents paid for it...they were gouged for $65 by the only LCS within driving distance (probably 1.5x guide at the time)

 

If it was the best gift you ever got,

I am sure it was worth it to them.

Awesome! Was the X-Men #1 a birthday gift? Back in those days you could pick one up for about $25.

I mentioned last night to gladuchka99 that I got an AT-AT for Xmas as well, and today I found the pic!

 

Obviously, I was a HUGE fan of 'The Dukes of Hazzard"

If I don't look surprised or overjoyed, it's because I had opened the present with an X-acto knife along the tape a week before (in the dead of night) to see what it was. By this point, I was more concerned with getting it out of the box so I could finally play with it!

 

Notice I had immediately donned the DoH shirt.

Who's a good little Imperial Walker? YOU are! That's right!

With that bassline in "Monster Model Review #32 Modeler Ken Kwilinski", I was hoping for the Dead Kennedys' 'person_without_enough_empathyin Camaro' in that video.

 

I left disappointed. :P

one of the reasons I got into the Star Trek toy/action figure business is because of my lifelong obsession with Star Trek.... here is a picture, over 30 years old, of me as a youngster with my communicator and tricorder (circa mid 1970's)

I didn't know you were such a good actor Rick. You are obviously striking the pose from that episode in the second season called "The Blue Orbs"......where Kirk has just found out there are no women on the planet
