If I had to pick only one the original Kenner's 1978 Star Wars vehicle toy it had to be my all time favored The X-WING FIGHTER SHIP. And why not as a kid in the 70s this toy was light wight, has a epic laser blasting sound and the ships wings folded open to the X-WING mode that for me earn 4 level on my Awesome List! I got this toy back in 1978 at a old Woolworth store on NYC 14th street in 1978
here's that last photo before they close down the store - http://atariage.com/forums/uploads/.....1440361807.jpg
Man I so missed that store a lot:(
The X-wing debuted in 1978 with an approximate retail price of $14.99. The ship measures 35 cm x 31 cm x 9 cm and, of course, that makes it way too small compared to the figures. But if the X-wing would have been on scale (1:1) with a Luke X-wing pilot figure, it would have measured more than 69 cm. The X-wing is made of white plastic and features red and yellow stickers. The ship can hold one figure in its rather small cockpit, so some larger figures will not fit (comfortably) in the cockpit. R2-D2 is not removable and is in fact a disguised action button.
The X-wing has three action features. It has a retractable forward landing gear and an electronic laser light and battle sound (works with two “AA” batteries). It can also lock its S-foils in attack position by pressing R2-D2’s head. The wings can be returned to their normal position by pressing another button.

Reminds me of years back when I got two of these from a relative who was handing down all their Star Wars stuff.
The clip that held the wings open was worn down though, so they kept snapping shut again. A bit distracting that when you're trying to blow up a moon-sized space station!
