“But, mom, I’ll just die if I don’t the Millennium Falcon this year.”
OK, that might have been overdoing it. I don’t really remember the tactics I used when I was five years old to persuade my parents to buy me toys, but I’m sure I took whatever sage advice my sister had, and integrated it into my appeals. It worked, and one year it became mine. This thing got more playtime than any other Star Wars toy. Every figure got at least one turn in the hidden cargo compartment.
