| R2-D2 & Yoda Suncatcher | |
| This line of suncatchers from Lee Wards is hard to track down, possibly because they appear to have been exclusive to the Lee Wards store chain, which I had never even heard of growing up in Oregon. Additionally, because the word the packaging is not labeled with specific keywords that might guide sellers to list them as suncatchers or stained glass items, it can be difficult to turn them up in auction searches. Featuring attractive packaging reminiscent of the Kenner ESB line, and a variety of characters that includes IG-88 that did not always get much attention, this is a fun line to collect. There are two 2-pack sets in this line: Snowspeeders and Yoda/R2-D2. For the Snowspeeders, I can only speculate that the original release only had one and it was later decided to add value to a less popular set by including an additional vehicle. R2-D2 and Yoda may have been released together because they are smaller figures, although their popularity as characters less necessary. |
