Do you consider Kenner Star Wars an "80s toy line"?

Yeah, my first thought was it was probably almost 1979 when the toys were in full swing and obtainable.  If that's true then the time on toy shelves would be roughly 1979-1986. I know POTF was 1985, but I'm assuming they might have been around until clearance time in 1986.

Am I correct? If yes, or mostly yes :) then one full year in the seventies and five to six years in the eighties should count as an 80s toy line.

some of this stuff was still sold almost till 88' but I still consider it a 70' line.
