Indeed. Much easier to house the collection back then too, that's for sure! But what the heck were your figures doing in your cake?! Oh, the mess! Especially in the peg holes... Oy. (yes, I was just as obsessive compulsive back then as a kid as I am now)
Pretty sure my 7th birthday cake was SW as well, though the figures actually didn't come out until the following year. I think I was stuck with just the bed sheets, Burger King glasses, and a sweat shirt for most of the remainder of '77, unfortunately.
I'm sure Jesse will appreciate the kind words on his reviews there too. He definitely busts his ass on those...
