Episode Sixty: Star Wars Kenner 1978 Death Star Space Station Playset

[@peter.24.7]

This piece was never released on Australia. Didn't know that as a kid when i was pouring over my Star Wars catalogue that came with my collectors case and wishing for one. Finally got one about a dozen years ago and whilst mostly complete I have spent time slowly collecting the missing pieces and doing repairs (none of the tabs on my top floor were intact so I had to re engineer it). Thanks god for 3D printers.

I loved that elevator. The way the rounded door slid open and closed was the coolest feature. The hours I would spend with my action figures piled into that station.

I got one for Christmas also. One of my favorites.

Excellent job 👍

Oh, how I loved this toy! The cannon, the elevator, the trash compactor - it was the pinnacle of my six-year-old existence.

My absolute favorite toy growing up and i had all the classics. I lost several farm Luke heads to that swing. For some reason they would pop off when he fell off it.

I too got this for Christmas in 78...holy cow what great memories.

Such a nice playset I wanted it back then but my parents never bought it I once biuilt one with several shoe boxes it was fun. Seceral years later I found one almost complete with box and several star wars vehicles for 12$ Still missing minor pieces but wow such a nice playset

I had this when I was a kid.

Nice to see those custom @toypolloi stickers. You should print out and laminate his custom mat for the base and try his fix for your canon.

I think if you did an actual review of these toys, especially the rare one. With some explaining your channel would blow up. Not a criticism by the way. I just subscribed.

[@bricago2302]

Where did you get the custom stickers for the tractor beam area? I didn’t see them on Toy Polloi.

[@StarWarsIntrigued]

I got them off a vendor on Etsy… unfortunately I don’t remember which one as it was a while ago… I’ll see if I can find out though…

[@bricago2302]

@@StarWarsIntriguedThanks for the reply. If you can find the seller name, it would be very helpful because searching Etsy for custom Death Star decals brings up hundreds of options.

[@darthcerebrus5074]

Now all they can make is WAY OVER priced diarama pieces with no action features or play value.If the would redo this for the retro line they would make a ton of money.

[@MrAvenger1975]

No one would be able to afford it today.

Unfortunately Hasbro aren't making toys aimed at kids anymore. They're aiming at us adults and trying to empty our wallets.
