I was 12 when this movie released and I remember this movie getting promoted a lot and remember these toys being on Walmart and KB Toys (when it was still in business) shelves. I really miss KB toys, wish it was still around.
Oh, I had that R2D2 as a kid! The claw was a piece you could plug in, and when you pushed down on him, there was a spring inside the third leg that moved the claw forward. I remember he came with a pile of scrapmetal with broken C3PO parts in it (or it was a generic protocol droid, idk, it was solid gray plastic). I also had that Anakin/Vader color-changing lightsaber. The blade itself was translucent and there were blue and red lights inside you could switch between with a button. The effect only looked really good in the dark, though.
I felt like my 8 year self from 77 watching this movie when it came out. I saw it several times while it played. My wife came with me to one showing even she loved it 😂 I’d love to see a directors cut of it to add all that footage I’ve seen over the years that were removed. Have a great day everyone 🍻
I remember when the figures first💥hit the shelves at🔆Walmart...there was soooooo frickin' many of'em...I just stood there totally😮mesmerized by the sight of it all...🤘🏼💯✔️
I have this somewhere. I remember 2005. It was quite the year. Burger King was giving out the Star wars stuff. Toy stores all over had lightsabers and action figures. KB toys is gone now but toys r us is coming back. I remember the Darth Vader helmet was everywhere. Many years after that you could find it at flea markets.
La cantidad de productos nos dice que la expectación por el episodio III era altísima ; hoy , los artículos de las películas y series no se compara para nada con lo que sucedía en el 2005
I remember spending hours on the Hasbro site every night for weeks looking at the figures and playing the games. I finally got a couple when a Walmart opened that same summer in my town and it was packed with product. I got every jedi released by the end of that year. It was a great time.
I remember merchandise was everywhere. I bought the video game . A week after it was out I had a bootleg of it. We watched it for months . To me this was the best of the first three .
I remember seeing the toys promoted at target and every time we went to Burger King I remember getting the watches and obviously the toys, episode 3 was my first exposure to Star Wars and seeing that scene were Darth Vader was born it will never leave my mind it was pretty cool I love episode 3!
I remember going to Toys R Us when these first came out. I bought the Darth Vader voice changer helmet & the color changing lightsaber. I still have them both. :)
Episode 3 figures we're made by the same team that made the Episode 1 figures. That's why they feel the same. (Hasbro split the designers of the prequel figures into two teams that's why the Attack of the Clones figures felt different, all of them came back together for the Power of the Jedi series.)
Still have these ROTS booklets. That first R2-D2 figure sucked. It was pinchers that came out of his head that moved when you're retracted is 3rd leg. We didn't get a good R2 figure til the line right after ROTS with the jet blast base (that you could put with the super battle droid). Dooku and the regular battle droid figures sucked this time around. If you want a good battle droid figure, get one from the AOTC line I have that Vader on operating table and half the vehicles. I always wanted to try that lightsaber TV game. Thanks for the video
Hell yeah, this was my Star Wars. Some awesome toys. And the Legos were 🔥. And then we got the Clone Wars Toys! Great time to be a kid. You could actually buy a figure or two with your allowance unlike today.
This was the year I quit collecting SW figs until about 2019 or 2020. I was dissapointed in the prequels and had lost all enthusiasm about collecting. Plus I was hard up for money, and the price of the figures had gone up. I picked up a handful of these and gave up. Also the figure line split into three or more lines that year and it was super-confusing. I got a handful of those Original Trilogy ones and a few of the Saga ones, but couldn't get the differences straight in my head. Fortunatley most of the ROTS figures are super cheap on ebay now, letting me fill the gaps and catch up.
My biggest regret is that I actually spent money on some of this stuff, instead of completing my vintage Kenner collection while the prices were still reasonable.
The clone troopers were the best part of the toy line. I still remember the day the episode 3 stuff went on sale, I was in Target in an overcrowded toy section, and all the buyers including myself having nothing but clone troopers.
I didn't care about this line, I never bothered myself with any of the newer lines. I suppose my enthusiasm for this stuff slowly died away with age, apart from the late 90s boom when Hasbro seemed to give a shit. Apart from that, Make Mine Vintage!
When the prequels were announced I remember the excitememt of imagining how badass and epic Obi Wan and Anakin's fight would be on the lava planet, flash forward to 2005 and we're treated to a ridiculous CGI Playstation looking crap battle and not once did I get a sense of danger from seeing Obi Wan and Anakin hopping from one platform to another and just getting scorch marks on their clothes.

That would be great, I'd like to see that footage too!

Karate Monday 🤣 love it

1996-2005 was a fun time for Star Wars fans!
This reminds me of that Phantom Menace coupon book that I found from 2000.
I wish i picked up that Anakin into Vader set
Great timing, my figure focus line series covers this line in detail going out tomorrow 👍

I had to have that helmet. :)
I kind of want the lizard mount.
Shakarakta!! 😂

Seen it first showing.

I have most of figures, but most of them were clones.
The clone troopers were the best part of the toy line. I still remember the day the episode 3 stuff went on sale, I was in Target in an overcrowded toy section, and all the buyers including myself having nothing but clone troopers.
I remember Target had an exclusive Lava Reflection Darth Vader figure for Revenge of the Sith. Cool figure, probably not worth much now.
This is a great movie but "Farm Boy" Luke wasn't in this movie. You had to wait until episode 4 to see him.

Great year for figures I worked at Walmart then so I got first pick of everything!!!🎉🎉🎉
That Mustafar playset never got released, did it?
Yes
the reason i like ROTS some much is because after episodes 1 and 2...i had very low expectations
When the prequels were announced I remember the excitememt of imagining how badass and epic Obi Wan and Anakin's fight would be on the lava planet, flash forward to 2005 and we're treated to a ridiculous CGI Playstation looking crap battle and not once did I get a sense of danger from seeing Obi Wan and Anakin hopping from one platform to another and just getting scorch marks on their clothes.
I wanted these figures, but I quit collecting after episode 1. I still have the trivial pursuit, though. Hey, send me back to 2005 😂
@michalrussom6463 Hi hope you are well?🤗🙏👍🕵
@SuperMarioBrosIII yeah, how are you doing bud?
@@michaelrussom6463 I'm good. Sent you an email. 🤗📫✉💻
The amount of 💩 they came out with for EIII is embarrassing.
Padme was ugly, and Anakin got what he deserved for being whiny.
First one here
I hated the Chewbacca cameo it seemed so forced and out of place.
