You saw a very small picture of it and pointed to it. I was surprised that a little kid of 4 or so could choose something from a photo. Peter, I remember you picking the Ewok hut out from a catalog.

It has all these little details (like, if I remember correctly, 3 spiders on the hut if you look carefully) I wouldn't expect a kid to notice but I definitely did. That car was great too but it really didn't run for very long (probably my fault). However, the best toys was the NES when it came out, which I bet you still have. That and Monopoly. Yes, good ol' Monopoly. Oh man that Ewok hut was/is awesome!
