R2-D2 AM Radio and Inflatable Lightsaber: Two of the first non-figure related items that Kenner sold to promote play in the Star Wars universe. For safety reasons, the lightsaber blade was an inflatable plastic tube and often found itself punctured. A repair kit consisting of sticky laminating tape was included to patch up small holes, but many of these things quickly made their way to garbage cans across the U.S. While not uncommon, they're some of the harder to find mint/boxed items out there.
