Star Wars Legion
Just getting around to opening the SWL box.
Publishers Description
"Warfare is an inescapable part of the Star Wars universe, from the Rebel Alliance’s defeat in the Battle of Hoth to a few elite Rebel strike teams taking on a legion of stormtroopers on the Forest Moon of Endor. You can seize your chance to get your boots on the ground and lead your troops to victory with Star Wars™: Legion, a miniatures game of thrilling infantry battles in the Star Wars universe!"
"Star Wars: Legion invites you to enter the ground battles of the Galactic Civil War as the commander of a unique army of miniatures filled with troopers, powerful ground or repulsor vehicles, and iconic characters like Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker. While innovative mechanics for command and control simulate the fog of war and the chaos of battle, the game’s unpainted, easily assembled minis give you a canvas to create the Star Wars army you’ve always wanted to lead into battle—whether you fight for the monolithic, oppressive Galactic Empire or the ragtag Rebel Alliance."

Luke Skywalker A New Hope 1977
Release: 1978
Don't call me "Farmboy". Luke Skywalker was available for purchase by two methods. There was the single carded version with an image of him on the box and also the early bird certificate package.
The action figure had a few different variants. the differences were in the hair colour. Arguably most common was the yellow blonde hair variant. there were also grey, hazelnut and brown haired variants. Came with only one accessory:the yellow telescoping light-saber. A rare version of this light-saber is called the double telescoping light-saber.

Artoo-Detoo R2-D2 1977 SW ESB with Sensorscope
Release Date: 1981
R2-D2, pronounced Artoo-Detoo and often referred to as Artoo, was an R2 series astromech droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton with masculine programming. A smart, spunky droid serving a multitude of masters over its lifetime, R2 never had a major memory wipe or received new programming resulting in an adventurous and independent attitude. Oftentimes finding himself in pivotal moments in galactic history, his bravery and ingenuity often saved the galaxy time and time again.

R2-D2 came with a rota-table dome, sensor-scope and a paper wrap which meant that when it got wet or was played with continuously it rubbed off, as can be seen with this one, with that in mind this figure has seen plenty of action in the past and is looking somewhat worse for wear.
