[star wars geek] philistine
Sure about the beginning? the beginning starts on tatoine and the first vehicles we see are the sail barges, now towards the end we see scout troopers on speeder bikes which would mesh with a bicycle fairly well other 2 man vehicles are the AT-ST walker, most of the starfighters are 1 man (I'd have to check which model of B-Wing was in use but that was probably the earlier version which was 1 man[/star wars geek]

Yes, those are they. I thought it was relatively close to the beginning when Leia was riding one and crashed...isn't that how she met the Ewoks?

Correct, it's towards the beginning of the battle but at a rough guess it's at leat halfway through the film since the battle of endor is part of the movie's climax, it's been a couple of months since I watched the film though since I've been busy so i could be a bit off on this one.

PK Ripper BMX bike, boogie board and mask,snorkel and fins.

I could ride two miles from my house down the bridle trail fronting the rich neighborhoods down to Malaga Cove where I would boogie board half the day and once the waves were blown out snorkel among the rocks until it got dark.

Saw lots of fish, shark, octopi, seals, dolphins, and countless anemone and sea urchins.

Easily Lego, even if I never got that big space cruiser set I really REALLY wanted (rather, I eventually got both of the smaller ships from that category.)

I did, however, make both fully transformable Voltrons out of the general sets I'd accumulated up to that point.

And I'd frequently hijack my mother's ironing board to double as the flight deck of a vietnam-era supercarrier, complete with two or three squadrons of F-4 Phantoms (and a single F-14a in its final acceptance trials).

Now, as an adult, I secretly lust* after the Star Destroyer official set and that 40-foot floating carrier some lunatic** made in his garage. (Pics aren't hard to find. Just go to Lego's site and search from there.)

* Did I say that out loud?
** Normally I'd say maniac, but I won't pander to marketers. Not even Lego's.

But did you ever "see me" a shark eating an octopus? More importantly, how about a "phantom Russian submarine"?

I got my son (he's 8) the Lego Star Destroyer for Christmas.

It took me and my son about 16 hours to build the Star Destroyer....

441!!!! :)

Made by Mattel. They had real plastic bullets powered by a spring in each casing. The holster was real leather with a leather belt and tie down.

Easy-Bake Oven [mid-1970s]. My dad loved wolfing down those treats. Fun on a rainy afternoon.

I had a Thompson SMG and an SLR the FN-FAL used by the Brit army till the 80s) made by Airfix, they had magazines you loaded with plastic bullets that you could shoot your friends with.

Super Nintendo -> Final Fantasy 3. The first real game to have an actual storyline that hooked you.

For me- it was Final Fantasy seven. (Obviously...)
The story line hooked me HARD.

I'm not sure what it is exactly about vicariously following the story of a character that we can relate to- but once in a while- a producer puts out a product that just goes right to the bone.

I had a Holly Hobbie one. That really was a fun thing to do when we couldn't go outside. Ah, even then my cooking was for the birds.

That's another game I couldn't play but loved to watch. You know the story behind the name right? It was their last attempt at a successful game before totally giving up. I never could understand how you could have so many Final Fantasies
