The official Star Wars Blog has a post up about the Kenner toys that were developed based on the idea that vehicles could have been a part of the Star Wars universe, but maybe operating just offscreen. These vehicles were created as a way to expand the Star Wars product line and to do it at a lower price point.
Kenner’s practice of creating these offscreen toys began with the Imperial Troop Transport in a Star Wars logo package, and continued all the way through the life of the toy line with vehicles like the Power of the Force Imperial Sniper Body-Rig, and the Droids Side Gunner.

Hi,
I am not an avid collector but definitely love to find and see the old Kenner toys. I just attended New York Comic Con for the first time and had a blast.
I will be visiting Columbus Ohio this coming weekend and would love to know if there are any Kenner fans with items they are willing to sell?
Still loved Star Wars always then always will be.
