i remember this playset, my grandma used to get me things like this all the time. those were fun times. good review, brother.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

You had a cool grandpa, Joe. That’s a cool memory of him. Thanks for watching my friend

[@twomindz79]

Always love your videos. I started my collection about a year after you so your influence was big . After the figures I went mini rigs and vehicles. Finished play sets before Xmas. Onto moc now which are killing my savings but about 20 in so far. As usual joey love your videos.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks for the kind words TwoMindz, and I think it’s awesome you are on this epic journey. Enjoy every moment of it my friend and happy hunting 🙌🏼

[@jerryziegner]

Gosh I miss the old days when I was a kid and those toys stocked the shelves.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

I miss those days as well! Thanks for watching Jerry!

[@william291077]

Great episode Joey, these playsets have never been a focus of mine and I never had any as a kid but I’m feeling tempted to dip my toe in the playset waters. MTFBWY.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks William! I only had the Jabba the Hutt Playset when I was a kid, so when I connected with that one again it brought back so many good memories. Maybe just obtain the ones you had when you were little?

[@william291077]

@@thepadawancollectorofficial the one I want is one I never had The Cloud City Playset. Similar to you I have a focus as well and that is the smoothest man in the galaxy, Lando Calrissian.

[@OhFrak]

Ahhhh the smell of vintage cardboard in the morning, Lol... the playsets definitely were a product of their time. There is a great resource on the Forums page of Rebel Scum that features good pics of playsets, ships, creatures etc.... with cardboard and baggies and whatever came in the packaging. Pretty awesome!! Look for "pic Heavy" in the title. I think it started back in 2008. Die Wanna Wanga!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

That’s the exact forum I use to visually reference what came in the boxes! 🙌🏼

[@jartladder15]

I had this one as a kid. Lots of fun. Need one of these. Would like to get an unassembled example. Another great video!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey Jart! An unassembled one is the way to go, and I may upgrade my set to a more preserved one in that state. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@MoparMcNeer]

Another amazing deep dive into these classic SW playsets. I appreciate all of the background & time showing the history & individual components that came with these sets. This is another set that I've been quietly on the hunt to add to my boxed collection as well. That cardboard is so fragile - and I rarely ever see the cardboard packing insert sold with the boxed versions online. Despite the base being reuse & the majority of this being an out of proportion AT-AT, this is still an interesting set & displays well too. Thanks Joey!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Mopar! I hope this video will be useful for you as you hunt for this one :). Good luck my friend!

[@pascalh4737]

Great add Joey !

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks pascal! And thanks for watching and commenting 🙏

[@geekstrong1]

I believe you left out that the pegs go inside the AT AT for figures to stand on.💪😉 another great feature. 🤜🤛

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

You are right!

[@kevcox5585]

Nice one Joey. Decent price for a complete boxed set. I have this set too, boxed and complete, except for the original inserts. I got mine in 2008 but forget what I paid for it. A much rarer harder one to find here in the UK as it's Kenner - they don't come up that often here.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Kevin! If you bought in 08 you must have gotten a decent price for it!

[@shawnkarg3794]

I'm surprised it was a $10 playset in 1980. It really seemed like it should have been cheaper since I had it as a kid, and it was mostly cardboard. Thanks for another fun blast from the past!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks for watching Shawn!!!

[@alexianemp]

I think you did well. I still have my childhood one of these, and its in good shape. Its been in storage for awhile so I haven't looked at it in awhile. I picked up the instruction sheet this year on ebay. Still trying to track down a box to make it complete. Finding standalone boxes for sale is hard!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey Alexi! Yea I can see how finding the stand alone boxes can be hard! Good luck on the hunt my friend! If you are a part of the Padawan Academy on Facebook maybe you could ask for help locating one to the group?

[@eddiehizo5682]

Ok Joel. You got the Sith Luke Sywalker! Cool. His dad will be proud!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Haha! Like father like son!

[@dannyskywalker3070]

I knew about the jawa playset and I got the hoth playset in a lot I purchased, I thought it just lost color over time,I was about to paint it brown lol

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey Danny! Haha lucky you didn’t but that’s good you recognized that it was the same mould as the land of the Jawas model!

[@starwarsdan6033]

We are hoth themed over the pond for our Echo base live uk event this year! You are due a visit

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

That is one event I have dreamed about visiting! 🙌🏼

[@tperson8347]

Congrats on completing the entire playset run. :) This looks great. And that R2! Mmman! That dome is a mirror! :) Some of you may know, but there's a Canadian variant where there are NO sideguns on the AT-AT. This one was released very early on. I love the choice of figures that were provided in some of the releases. There are some "Special Offer!" replacement stickers that I'd like to have. They make 'em all. :) Thanks for the video

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks T! I’m not done yet! The last ones left have been the toughest for me to find at great prices and in great shape!

[@tperson8347]

@@thepadawancollectorofficial I'm sorry. I may have misunderstood, I thought you said you were done. 😬

[@billpaulk1058]

Such good information Joey! When we were kids back in the day, we had no idea so much of this stuff was repurposed. You would just look in the catalogs like Sears and wish you would get certain things. I remember circling specific items in the catalog for my mom to hopefully see. Great playset too man!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Bill! I remember looking inside those catalogs and all of the toys :). Thanks for watching my friend!

[@scotthildebrand3148]

I love this play set, just got one for the first time recently. Hoth Adventure set is much better play set than the Rebel Command center, but I know it's much more desirable and looks cooler with the red box. Is that your same Hoth Snowtrooper figure you had in a previous video? I mentioned it is super clean and very white 👌, should grade it👍I would call it a Mini-Me Wampa😂🙌

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey Scott! Haha yes that’s the trooper from my last video :). It has too many imperfections on it to get a high grade but it’s perfect for the display case!!! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@scotthildebrand3148]

??🤔🤨?? Really? Imperfections? Looks like it has all the black trim with none missing. Biggest thing that down grades those figures is the whiteness, sure looks very white, limbs and torso. But, you gotta have a clean one for the display also brother 😎✊

[@chsquidman]

Love your channel 😊

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks squidman! I appreciate you!

[@tperson8347]

I think the Echo base backdrop is better suited for something like the Hoth Turret playset. It really elevates the threat (of the Imp. Probot being SO close to the base) and the play value, in my opinion.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

That would be an interesting custom to make!

[@tperson8347]

@@thepadawancollectorofficial I have an idea how to go about it, the Echo base backdrop but in "Battle Station" backdrop form and the Turret playset base sets on the cardboard "flooring" of the backdrop. Sounz good to me. :)

[@geekstrong1]

💪🤓 Great playset

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

I loved putting it together!!

[@darthroger860]

Had this as a kid. I was so disappointed because I wanted the large AT-AT and never got it. 😢

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey Darth! Yea I can see that being the case. Especially if my friends had the full ATAT.

[@bjnowak]

I grew up in a small town. In the early 1980’s the local hardware still had some of these toys that no one bought in the 80’s. No one wanted that cannon you had. Markdown after markdown it sat for years!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Ah tell me you picked one up?!?! I remember these toys in the hardware stores too in the mark down bins, more the carded figs, but can you imagine getting these for 50 cents sometimes!!! Thanks for sharing brother and I hope all is well 🙏

[@Deviax28]

Finding the cardboard in good condition is such a pain. Almost worth finding one and packing it away and using a repro cardboard up for display just to keep the condition of the original in good shape

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Yes I had a very hard time finding one that had decent cardboard. I’m not a reproduction collection, so I can’t go that route, but I have seen many people selling reproductions of these for expensive prices as well.

[@jackgoff4668]

I can't remember how much I paid but it was less than $100 out of the box. Also the elevator is broke on mine.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

That’s a great price for it! Thanks for watching Jack!

If you think the next 17s custom figures are good then you need to check out Stan Solo. SS is literally the reincarnation of vintage kenner SW.
