In 1995, I got caught up in the return of Star Wars figures to retail. Sure, the figures were buff beyond any reasonable expectation. But, in the scope of action figures designed and released in the mid 1990's, they were actually somewhat tame. Through 1999, I spent copious amounts of time searching retail stores trying to keep up with my completist tendencies. At various times, it could take months to find new waves of figures. It was an incredibly frustrating time to collect toys. But, it was also an awesome time as stores still stocked massive walls of toys and, when the toys were shipping, you could go weeks finding all the stuff that you had been pining for.
