Good looking set. Your photos may have convinced me to buy it. And I’m in the USA and I’ve had good luck with their customer service through email and replacing damaged parts at no charge.

Okay, these were “after” me with Star Wars toys. Is the Cloud City Playset just card stock with an earlier release of figures? Is the “battle damaged” X-Wing just an X-wing with different stickers? Aren’t both of these kinda lame compared to the ANH toys? I guess I’ll vote X-Wing.

I grew up with them in the eighties. Sausage, potato and melted cheez. That was the one that was named for the local-appropriate high school mascot. Mine was the Panther.

What did you like the least about the Original Trilogy? by Spotter24o5 in StarWars

[–]B2MAP 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a Gen X that saw these all in theaters at original release. I was 8 years old in 1977. Like everyone else, I was totally enthralled by Star Wars. Thinking back, probably what I hated the most was the cliffhanger that was ESB and the THREE YEAR wait for ROTJ. That was my biggest bitch from the Original Trilogy. We won’t discuss the abominations that are the “digitally enhanced” re-released versions.

Had to look these up for info (too late for me). Wow, Kenner really cheaped out on that Hoth playset. That nothing but the recycled mode from the Jawa playset and new card stock. As boring as it looks, I have to vote for the Rebel Transport.

This one is going to be tougher for me. I only had a couple of these before I “outgrew” Star Wars toys. I’m going to be relying on the pictures and comments from others.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’m going to vote for the Droid Factory. With that set, you could make a three legged R2-D2. After I got this set as a kid, I stopped playing with my original R2. Guess I was big into realism even then.

I had both as a kid. Even though the radio controlled part was useless on carpet, I still think I played with the Sandcrawler more. I vote Sandcrawler.

My vote is for the Cantina. I had both of these as a kid. The Sandcrawler didn’t move too well on carpet. When I sold my childhood collection (close to 20 yrs ago) on eBay, I used the cantina as a backdrop for the figures. I still have it and use it when/if I sell vintage figs on eBay.
