I may have gotten some details wrong, but point is it isn't a screensaver in the same sense as that term is usually used.

I see on your rep that "OtterBooks has a complete set of Star Wars action figures." Are they the old ones from the 70s? I won a contest in 1979 where I got one each of every Star Wars toy available. My dad made me keep most of them in the packaging, and I eventually sold them.
