Ah! I always thought it probably came from another line, because we all know
toy companies love to do that (the Ewok Villiage Playset, for example, was
re-marketed as the "Robin Hood: Prince of Theives Bandit's Hideout").
At any rate, it wasn't marketed as an EU toy, it was just there. It stuck out
a LOT because it was the only weird non-movie thing at the time.

Yeah! I loved that, too, for much the same reason. But were the so-called
"mini-rigs" marketed under the EU banner? I thought they were just little
vehicles. I was unaware the EU banner- or any banner- was used in the original
Kenner line.
