Super cool to see this unboxing. I’m glad everything arrived safe and sound. Everyone should receive a bonus gift when buying vintage items 👍🏽

[@Holochronicles]

You big sweetheart Gary! Nice pack job as always!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

DUDE! That was super cool to get man, everything ALL around! Thanks for helping me complete this run man :)

[@Holochronicles]

The display arena filled with figures is an underrated look. Very cool with the mailer box!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Dude I'm gonna have to fill it and sit back like Thanos and enjoy

[@michaellonergan2648]

Agreed. These stands filled with ESB figs look awesome.

[@scotthildebrand3148]

Always a super fun moment opening a new "old" Star Wars toy 🙌I had a bonus item given to me once from an eBay seller. I was buying a open belly tuantaun and he threw in a Chewbacca band roller strap figure carrying case👌 Enjoy your new toys brother ✊😎👊

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Wow that’s an awesome surprise!! 😮

[@geekstrong1]

I use my display arena for my custom painted vintage Star Wars figures that I made. 💪😉

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

That’s a good way to use it!

[@MoparMcNeer]

Land of the Jawas is an iconic SW playset - glad you were able to finally add this to your collection Joey. The box does look clean & very square. I can see why you decided to pick it up, despite the shaved POP. It will display very well for sure. Gary did an outstanding job packing this one up. Bravo! I wish all shippers would handle these items in this fashion. I made a classic rookie mistake when I picked up mine, piecing it together over multiple purchases. I made an auction purchase because the box was so nice, but it was missing a couple pegs & one of the smaller cardboard bits, & the base had a peg half broken off. Needless to say, I'm happy with everything after I got all the needed pieces, but likely over paid by $100+ in the end to do so. Oh well. Love the Display Arena mailaway too. Even better that you got it with the original shipper too! That's something on my list as well, but down the road a bit I think. Congrats!! Overall, I think you got a good deal on the pair for what you paid. 😎 Great unboxing - can't wait to see the assembly video!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey Mopar! Yes I can’t imagine trying to piece a Playset together from scratch! Thanks for the great comment and I look forward to hearing from you. I hope all is well my friend

[@clobberonline6812]

The box art is classic and presents well !!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Clobber!

[@shawnkarg3794]

I remember getting the Display Arena in the mail, and it was so cool to see the backdrops from Empire. Thanks for that little dash of nostalgia!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey Shawn! That’s awesome you got this as a kid 🙌🏼

[@dallasroate1]

Land of the Jawas playset. Nice!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Dallas!

[@joshadley]

a lot of the stuff you do on your channel I've never seen or heard of before, thank you for sharing them with us

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey Josh! Thank you for watching!

[@richardlee5536]

Great unboxing. Land of the Jawas is among my top four favorite playsets. Kim Simmons of Kenner toy photography fame, sent me a one-of-a-kind display arena with unique backdrops. My original display arena is still in my possession with the box. It came out in 1982 advertised on 45 backs. The silver catalog/booklet it came with was made in 1982, the last wave of ESB toys before ROTJ's release.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks for the info Richard!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@tperson8347]

These look great. I was just looking at the "Land of the Jawas" playset the other day. No sandcrawler backdrop, of course. :) Thanks for the video

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thank YOU for hanging out with me and watching T!

[@stephentaylor7555]

How cool! Plus a “Bend” Kenobi 😁🤙

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Stephen! And thanks for watching!

[@brettonfett]

Awesome items! Gary is the man!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Brett! Yes Gary IS the man!

[@geekstrong1]

I love this playset, especially the escape pod, I loved playing with that pod as a kid.💪🤓

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

I have to admit I did geek out playing with this one 🤓

[@michaellonergan2648]

Sweet Playset. I never had any of these as a kid, so never added them to my collecting list. It’s great to see them though. I never minded getting kits with the POP cut out, was OK to have it missing given the price break it would give. Once in an acrylic case and on a shelf it’s really not a detractor. Cool mini-catalog too. They are great.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Michael! Yes this one isn’t perfect but it did clean up well and it displays great!

[@pascalh4737]

Great add Joey ! Love the display arena very cool item ...

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Pascal!

[@mickmo4700]

I never wanted play sets like this when I was a kid because it was a small plastic base and cardboard. Surprisingly though the play set I wanted the most was the Palitoy Death Star. Even though it was almost entirely cardboard, it had so much playability. Truthfully, if I'd had the money for a play set, I'd have bought the Palitoy Action Force base, another cardboard gem that was very similar to the Death Star set. Cool pick up though!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey Mick! That action force set is awesome! If I ever get an action force playset it would be that one

[@AD-ui2pz]

Still have mine from childhood in mint condition with box and instructions too - I took great care of all my SW toys I was lucky to get 1978-83 - I’ll be curious to see how good a shape yours is in and price you paid 👍

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey AD! Let me know how I did and if the price is right you think? I’ll be interested to know what u think

[@kevcox5585]

Nice one Joey, would love that Land of the Jawas set one day to go with my Hoth Ice Planet Adventure set!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Kev! I hope you get one soon!

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

As a 1st-Generation Star Wars Fan (saw it in the theaters in 1977, aged 3), this is all VERY COOL. I'm not sure, but, I think my Sister and I might've had this playset. I had flashbacks, when I saw the box. Love the pictures. MTFBWY...

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Anthony! That’s rad that you had this as a kid, I’m sure you did if those memories came back to you!

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

@@thepadawancollectorofficial Well, I know, for a fact, that we had the Death Star trash compactor and detention area set, around 1981. I still have the Xmas pictures from 1981, when I received The Falcon as a gift. In 1979, my Dad bought the model of Darth Vader's Advanced TIE, constructed and painted the whole thing in an afternoon, and hung it in my room. We also got the Star Wars: Attack The Death Star board game...loved the look of it...SUCKED at playing the game...still don't understand the rules of it.

[@pinoyamericausmc783]

That was my first Star Wars playset. The only thing I have of that is the bottom sand piece-built to last forever! I’m looking for some good colored pics of the cardboard parts so I can remake that sandcrawler portion the way I did with the Hoth playset.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Maybe I can send you some high res photos of the parts?

[@pinoyamericausmc783]

Oh really? That would be awesome! I only found blurry ones online

[@thetoycave82]

I'm not sure I've ever seen another collector smelling their vintage toys.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Haha welcome to The Padawan Collector!

[@starwarscornercollector8819]

That empire display is about a 200 dollar value

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Indeed. With the cardboard box and paperwork it’s even more

[@BULLY_FINGER]

BEND EMs the only star wars figures we had in the early 90's.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Glad I’m finally getting to the party!

[@BULLY_FINGER]

@@thepadawancollectorofficial the entrance fee to this party is about $10 per figure. Real low. I see them at every flea market I go to.

[@BanthaPooDoo64]

Well it’s very understandable now ,you just admitted you’ve never handled them before that’s very clear now. Lol 😂 , I’ve seen played handheld almost every part of the vintage line since the 70’s nearly knowing by just looking at a piece can tell u exactly what vehicle,ship and play set just by seeing it. That’s why eBay is for those like me who know not JAFO’s 😂

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey Bantha! You are a true Jedi level collector! 🙌🏼
