[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9026648, member: 4534"] Star Wars mechandise ebbs and flows with the release of movies. By 1985, the Star Wars merchadising had pretty much ceased to be a thing despite the Droids/Ewok cartoon. Of course merchandise never quite died out entirely. There was West End Games' Star Wars RPG first published in 1987, there were video games on the NES and Super NES, and there was a series of novels published in the early 1990s. But I don't think Star Wars returned to mainstream toy aisles until the special edition of the original triology was released in, what, 1997? And of course we felt the full might of the fully operational merchadising machien with the release of the Phantom Menace in 1999. Anyway, it's been almost four years since the last Star Wars movie was released so you're not going to see as many toys in production. But I just went to Hobby Lobby today and saw a ton of Lego Star Wars sets. Though come to think of it, I bet Harry Potter is giving Star Wars a run for their money in the merchadising department. I also saw some Harry Potter lego sets, and I still see tons of Potter merchadise in other places. [/QUOTE]
