Hasbro: Playsets don’t sell
Also Hasbro: Buy our overpriced Dioramas
Hasbro now sucks. There are too many reasons why they lost the Jurassic license, would have been great to see a kenner line by Hasbro. They are basically pulling the same card for Star wars like they did with JP. The only toys I buy from them are Marvel Legends & some of the kenner stuff.
@@nicholasdickens2801 *Artoo playing a Powerpoint to Hasbro for two playsets to form one whole playset*
I look forward to the day when a 3 3/4" scale version of the Kenner Micro Collection Bespin World playset becomes available from an industrious fan with a 3D printing setup. That's a playset worth buying.
Agreed. That is what someone should work on.
...I think we have a million dollar idea right now - and as the man says "Fans do the best work"
I made one out of LEGO.
@@VAULT-TEC_INC.
Sir, I want to buy your one that's made out of LEGO.
I won't lie, today I was tempted to buy it today at Toys R us. It was on clearance for 50 bucks. I was tempted, but then I remembered that I had a 3D Printer at home and a lot of patience. And there are better 3D Printed sets online guys, I've seen them.
I remember this old Bespin playset I had when I was a kid. Had the freezing chamber (with top and a staircase), a tower to simulate Luke getting sucked out the window, and the catwalk where Vader cut Luke's hand. You could put metal figures all over the place. That set is infinitely better and that was a set released in the freaking 80s.
50 dollars for half a bridge?
WHAT THE HELL, HASBRO!?
It’s ridiculous, and even the figure that comes with it doesn’t give it justice just absurd
I looked up that it's meant to connect to another section of the same scene. Still, I wouldn't complain, simply because this Star Wars collection is for the next generation of kids discovering Star Wars.
@@CosmoShidan The next generation of kids deserve better than a flimsy pair of catwalks that link together.
Inflation + greed is a b%tch
"Luke, join me on the Dark Side."
"I can't! We only have one side!"
"Join me or die! Careful, these stairs are rickety."
......I have just used up 100% of the play value on this set. Sorry about that!
If you listen very very very carefully.... you can actually hear Kenner rolling over in its grave
Joseph Steiner's spinning in his grave so fast he could drill himself to Australia.
"STAIR WARS"
Man, I’m glad I grew up during the 70’s and 80’s. We had the best toys!! The play sets were amazing!
Definitely some great concepts in the 70s and 80s but the actual execution was a bit hampered by the limits for those times.
Rex Veritate You suck. The 70’s/80’s tots were the best. The face sculpts may not have had much quality, but at least their sets weren’t overpriced and half done
Danny, we didn’t know that at the time. At the time they were awesome! They still are pretty awesome even by today’s standards because modern stuff barely exists.
Also, let's say this once again: Playmobil toys are amazingly sturdy and durable and they're made in Germany, with apparently higher production costs than in countries like China.
So, either Playmobil sells playsets like the Ghostbusters firehouse at a loss, or Hasbro is lying through the nose when they say 3.75 inch scale playsets are not economically viable.
I begin to wonder what it would be like if Playmobil acquires the Star Wars licence... one can only dream, I guess!
They paid out the nose for SW and are losing money. Losing money because of crap.
@@hankhill1203 They were a mess long before the Disney acquisition. Plus, Hasbro is screwing up more than just their Star Wars line.
Wyldstaar Studio Transformers fan here, and I can vouch for what you're saying.
I think you're onto something. Namely License and the fee Hasbro pays to Disney for it. I am sure they pay way too much for it.
Let's be real, when companies say something is not economically viable, it doesn't necessarily mean that it would literally be impossible to produce something cheaper, it's that that's the price point that passes whatever internal math they use to consider it worth their while to move forward with a project. They're basically saying "if you want us to make this, here's our quote".
I had a very weak moment today and actually pre-ordered this Bespin Carbon Freezing Chamber set. After some more careful consideration (even realising that I could probably just make this myself!!!!) and thanks to your excellent video, I have just cancelled that pre order. Thank you for helping me to wake up, Michael!
I too just cancelled mine
I cancelled mine meaning 2 but I'm a Transformers guy with love for Star Wars just have way too much transformers to afford this.
well, i don't know the intricacies of retail, but i would think cancelled pre-orders should probably send a "tangible" signal to Hasbro regarding fan feelings and fan reaction
@@jamesbirch9614 a tan
@@jamesbirch9614 a tangible signal to stop producing playset i m afraid. they don t understand anything.
Collectors: "What a piece of junk!"
Hasbro: "She may not look like much, but...uh...hmm..we're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?"
Collectors: Not entirely stable! I'm glad you're here to tell use these things!
I am one of those toy channels you mentioned. I panned this playset thinking I was alone on the matter. Its so good that we are in agreement on this crappy playset! Great Video my friend!
Some of the best purchases are the ones we don’t make eh Mike? Agreed my friend!
Hambone McGillicutty's Half Court Jam, only $49.95 from Hasbro Pulse (Actual jam sold separately)
¿Imagine a STAR WARS PLAYMOBIL LINE?. That would rock the entire toy industry.
Yeah, I was slightly interested until I saw the price. They are absolutely insane. This thing is worth $15.00
Nah 20-30 bucks
Nah 20bdollar
15 dollars is very fair in my opinion as opposed to the 70 dollars it started out as here in canada. It's on clearance for 50 now. Still not worth it. I have a 3D Printer. Suck it Hasbro.
Can just see Tom Hank's character from Big saying "I don't get it"? "What fun about playing with half a bridge and stairs"?
It’ll be a cold day in hell before I give Hasbro $50 for what looks like pipe cleaners and chicken wire. If it was under $30, I would have considered it to use as a base to work from. That entire stream was nothing but angry reacts the whole time. It was 99% reissue, most of which are already being rereleased in the black series line concurrently with the retro card back. One thing is for certain, that playset will not be added to my collection. I’ll be making my own.
Playmobil probably has better sales. Their quality is through the roof. Everything they make is pure gold. Thank you for another great video!
@bigevilworldwide1 True... the Playmobil aesthetic takes some getting used to and is clearly "non realistic"... but so is Lego.
I buy (some) Lego Star Wars sets no problem... I would definitely buy Playmobil ones too, especially if they could make playsets including accessories and figures at the very decent Ghostbusters Firehouse price point!
that would be awsome if Playmobil had some rights to make some star wars stuff
Playmobil's vehicles, playsets and accessories are just effing magnifique! :D
Their Back To The Future DeLorean is TOP NOTCH! Impressive details!
@@justakidfrombrooklyn1517 I remember my old Playmobil and how much I played with just a little set. They really were great. But as i got older Lego with the building mechanic and Star Wars products interested me more.
“Have some dignity. I mean-seriously!” LOL
Oh man, this review is hilarious; I’m still laughing. Both for its enthusiasm, and its being on point. In full disclosure, I really want this goddamn piece, whatever you want to call it. If they knock it down to $20, I’ll buy two of them. But not at this price. Michael, thank you for providing me that extra bit of resistance!
Just what people wanted, A Diorama, Not a playset,a Diorama
The bridge to nowhere would have been perfect. If they had offered it as a Build A Figure type pack in deal. Release a series of 8 Empire Strikes Back Anniversary figures. Each comes with a piece of the diorama. Bandai has done this a few times. The Big Order Room that came with a series of GaoGaiGar robot figures is a phenomenal display and photo setting. It wakes the perfect Avengers meeting room. Bandai even did it with Bespin! Parts to build the hallway and window from the Luke/Vader duel came packaged with Luke and Vader.
Andrew Taylor actually it was the emperors throne room display that came with vader, but still the same idea. I wish hasbro had done something like that, or at least the bridge that luke gets his hand chopped off on.
It's barely that. A diorama attempts to recreate a scene. Even with two of these you are missing many of the components a diorama would have, such as walls and computer consoles.
Yes, this is more like just a display. I didn't buy the Jabba's Walls™ for $50, thank the stars, and it looks like we'll be making our own before buying the next.
“Mickey Mouse” made me laugh properly. I would buy that cardboard play set if it was reissued with some extras or the Palitoy Death Star. It doesn’t have to be expensive.
That's the thing they should be doing with the Retro Kenner collection, instead they think fans want old board games recreated.
After watching this and hearing the announcement, I wish I could just 3D print an upscaled micro collection bespin playset rather than buy a rickety piece of plastic
Man, the balls on Hasbro. Grapefruits doesn't begin to describe it.
Hasbro Pulse's livestreams are a complete joke, yet hilarious because of how unaware the presenters are.
Lego has a more competent Star Wars toyline than Hasbro at this point.
LEGO always has been more competent than Hasbro.
It helps to have figures relevant to the playset included in the whole set. LEGO can do this without gouging consumers. Hasbro could too, but opt not to.
Hasbro still hasn't done a proper Black Series or vintage collection phase 2 501st trooper. Lego just did a 501st battle pack.
Lego did the exact same cloud city carbon freezing chamber playset but with 4 minifigures (2 of them exclusive) and only costing 25 dollars at release, half of the half of hasbro’s (it also had a play feature to freeze Han Solo and the same exact stairs, but a bit smaller, so basically the exact same “play features”, but mostly better). And if you don’t want just the freezing chamber, Lego also released a COMPLETE CLOUD CITY playset in 2018, that includes slave 1, the twin pod car, almost every scene (including the freezing chamber), and 21 figures (7 exclusive). Of course, it cost 350 dollars at release, but it’s totally worth it considering the incredible amount of stuff that is including.
I wish Gentle Giant would upscale the Kenner Cloud City micro Sets to 3 3/4 size.
The Micro Collection had a cool freeze chamber.
They had the entire Bespin world...with figures...for less money. How far they've dropped.
Power of the Jedi has a carbon freezing chamber for 3 3/4” figures around the late 90s or early 2000s.
The only way to play the Bespin scenes as a kid was that set. Hoth as well. And until the Vintage Series version came out, the best Falcon
Dean Strickson that was a Fan Club exclusive in 2001 but a very nice set. I’m glad I have it.
@@DeanStrickson But Hasbro thought so little of its prospects that it was a mail order item only in the USA
Hasbro: My parents didn’t believe in toys.
Star Wars fans: You didn’t even have a slinky?
Hasbro: We had part of a slinky... but I sold it.
Nick Manzo Nice Reference!
hasbro had half a slinky but they stragtend it
JonahG thank you.
Star Wars fans: we complain
Star Wars fans: That's half a Twinkie.
“That’s.... part of a playset.”
What's next?
80 bucks for the front half of a Star Destroyer?
Just the Spaceballs “WebrakeforNo1” style bumper sticker. Each letter sold separately. Dink Dink Diiiink! (You’re welcome in Dinkese 😂🤣).
Don't give them any ideas.
$100 for the trash compactor. Does not include trash or creature, and compactor does not compact.
No, a slice thru the middle.
Just the tip.
Hasbro Inc.: Fine purveyors of third-party 3D printed dioramas for high-dollar licensed IPs.
Im a drunk who sells car parts for a living and I could design better toys than modern Hasbro
Lol, I love it.
I'm a junkie that steals car parts for a living and I... nevermind.
Hasbro's reasoning
You will pay full price for half this house, and pay full price again for the other half, oh and by the way, the furniture designed for this type of house hasn't been on retail for 10 years,
Okay, have a nice day!
This is the reason I don’t buy any of the new crap 💩 As you say “The fans are doing the best work”
I'm sticking with my vintage collection... and if I have the chance I'll try to get more of those even if I have to make a restoration.
They were much better before the sequels.
I actually really liked the Jabba playset. Of course I only paid $25 for it during online Christmas deals and it came with 2 pack in figures. As for the freeze chamber set itself, I would have preferred it be the full circle platform with a ceiling that has the claw arm to raise the carbonite slab.
I'll wait for someone to come up with a fan made Bespin playset.
Hasbro has literally already made this playset, and it bullies this one for it's lunch money:
www.rebelscum.com/potjcarbonitechamber.asp
Jazz Inc made a freezing chamber for the Hot Toys size. And though it's not a full room, still way better than the Hasbro one.
christopher de leon lol I actually forgot I have that.....
Just have a look at my one then and compare
Just save some cardboard boxes and make your own.
Well said, Michael. Thank you! I stopped collecting Hasbro Star Wars in 2015. I'd been devoted to amassing a huge collection of toys. I played with them, I made it nearly a full-time occupation creating photostories and building elaborate sets. I imported hundreds of items from the USA. Star Wars just fired up something inside me - an overpowering creative urge. I suffer numerous illnesses but scraped by, investing every penny I could into the toys. Credit cards were used. But around 2015, things changed -not by my hand. The amazing toys began to be replaced by crappy shells and Playskool-paint-jobs. The figures became very basic yet no less expensive. The Hasbro Star Wars line fractured all over the place. The 3 3/4 inch standard got a 5-inch cousin, and the collector fanbase split over it, uncertain where the focus was for the future. I noticed the super-articulated line suffering from very poor plastic and facial paint jobs, yet - the prices kept rising. It broke me as a collector and play-mate. I gave away my entire collection to a collector nearby because I decided to move house and jettison Star Wars. I'm so glad I did because the line is now junk, terribly-overpriced and full of re-issues. If I hadn't dumped in 2015, the Sail Barge would have been the next shatter-point. Yes there are collectors with big wallets, but most do not, and the way Hasbro now prices junk like the Jabba's Palace and Carbon Freeze-Chamber 'playsets' - static chunks of plastic are no more playsets than a plank of wood.
The sad thing is, I remember just recently watching the G.I. Joe episode of The Toys that Made Us, and the Star Wars episode. The guys at Kenner weren’t perfect, but you could tell how invested they were in Star Wars, they were so invested that they tried, desperately to keep the torch burning through the 80s, long after kids had moved on to other things. The guys at Hasbro who were instrumental in the creation of G.I. Joe cared about what they were making, they were passionate about a toy line filled with American heroes that would outsell Star Wars by being competitive and better constructed. It seems like the youngest son who inherited his father’s company doesn’t now what he’s doing, he never even saw the appeal of G.I. Joe as a kid, and bought Star Wars just to get a guaranteed money maker, when he already had the G.I. Joe juggernaut, and turned it into a red headed stepchild the second he could. The man is, in the words of Saruman, a lesser son of greater sires.
That is no play set more of a display, sucks!
Not a good display either. Youd want a couple levels about 5 inches apart. Its trash.
Going to echo @RASK1904 - Its not even a Display!!! There is nothing to it to make it a centre piece you would want to display things on!
-That's no playset... it's a ripoff.
-It's two-parts to be a ripoff.
I was sitting down watching this in sandals with an untucked shirt, looked down at myself and said aww man
I'll stick with the mico collections Bespin World thank you....one of the best playsets ever made. I played the shit out of that thing.
Playmoblie has some kids at heart that they know what we want.
Play Mobil are awesome, my son will be getting his first soon. He's only 3 so just adjusting from not eating crayons to proper play.
If I had $50 to burn (or on 70% discount), I would repurpose that carbon freezing playset to make Palpatine’s throne room. The platform framing of it w/ the stairs is already there, just convert that set into Palpy’s throne room and make the carbon freezing capsule the pit Palpy falls into.
I kid you not I saw 3 of these freeze chambers at my local game xchange 3 years ago and 3 years later they are still on the shelves
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the recent LEGO Bespin Escape release, if you have any.
I honestly could have done without the mini slave 1, but the doors are pretty fun and it's a fine display.
And the figures aren't bad either.
I love that set!
The 9th Planet I have that set and it should have been 250 but I love it
Studebricker I also have that set and it’s definitely something I would recommend as a LEGO fan myself. I remember wanting the 2003 version as a kid, but sadly I never got it. However, I think the 2018 version is better in terms of play features for kids.
@@n2legos I have that set too. Imagine that bigger. Like to the 3 inch figure size. That would be awesome. I'm 11 and I would love that.
This playset really sucks :(, it looks really flimsy like it could break the legs very easily.

Michael I am a big time toy collector around the same age as you, been a fan of this channel since the beginning, you guys showed up randomly. I collect vintage (like you) and modern. One of the things I appreciate is that unlike other reviewers you are not pandering to get in good with these companies and for free stuff. I want honest reviews and criticisms, These companies take advantage and play massive games with adult collectors. I could rant for days but thanks for having integrity for standing up. I only watch you guys for collecting, everyone else is pandering for early, free samples and never give honest reviews,....wasteful.
I will never let you down in that regard, sir. I might have a bad hair day once in a while, but I will never, NEVER bow to corporate products.
@@retroblasting Stay with that and keep that, we appreciate you for it
Had the '81 Cloud City playset from the Sears catalog. Came with Bespin Han Solo, Lobot, Dengar and an Ugnaunt with ' Lunchbox'.
Star Wars Bespin Freeze Chamber is the most disappointing thing since my son.
How embarrassing
LMAO I got this one !
Got any pizza rolls?
You might not have noticed it... but your brain did.
What's wrong with your faaaaaaaaaace?
This is why I'm so glad my favorite franchise, Jurassic Park, switched hands from Hasbro. Hasbro loves to abuse and ignore the franchises they have rights to. With Jurassic World we got 4 "play sets". Three were miniature out of scale vehicle sets, and one was a repro from Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park ///.
Hasbro is so disappointing and worthless
Yes that line is great. You can make a fun line both kids and adults will eat up. And there’s still room for more adult figures on the side.
Not to mention their Amber Collection line is fabulous. I’d thought Mattel was sinking fast with the way most of their DC Multiverse figures looked, but they proved me wrong. Can’t wait for the Nedry/Dilophosaur duo
To this day as a hardcore JP fan I will never forgive Hasbro for that injustice. They only gave us cheap happy meal toys with bullet holes.
I am sure, hobbyists can build great diorama much better and bigger. Build it yourself. It’s cheaper, much more fun, and it’s special when it’s finished. There are such great materials available these days. From polymer clays, to resins, and 3D printing. Even amazing colours and patina powders. Not the least lighting electronics.
Absolutely spot-on.
When I saw the Carbon Chamber image I thought;
“Well that doesn’t look very fun...”
And I speak as one of those “roly-poly” Jack Black-alikes...
The problem is Hasbro wants you to but two to make it look even remotly half decent.
@@samsonitejohnson7456 But he's not wrong.
Whats your opinion on the mandalorian troop transport?
When I saw the "playset" I was reminded of your Snake Mountain video-there's nothing there.
I recently lit up the 'power of the Jedi' bespin freezing chamber playset from the year '2000'.And I think that looks more phenomenal with the lighting effects. Wish I could post a pic of that here.
Didn’t they make a carbon freezing chamber playset for the power of the Jedi line
Yes
Don't forget they made the awesome one for the micro machine line as well
@@RetroDrew Bespin World was amazing. Always wanted the Micro collection line.
Yes, and even on ebay, it's almost certainly a better buy.
$20 for both halves at best.
And throw in a couple of figures.
@@nicholasdickens2801 nah they didn't even throw in the control panel or a cheap cardboard backdrop.
Maybe a full scale Cloud City with the Carbon Freezing Chamber, the “We would be honored if you would join us” dining room, the Slave I landing platform, and the giant pit that Luke falls into should be the new Haslab project.
Lego made 2 of them
So how do you actually play with it? Figures walk down stairs, put Han in chamber, figures walk upstairs. Yay. Looks like about a minute of fun.
lol Who the hell wants half a platform??? Screw you Hasbro!
I think its time Hasbro went the same way as ‘old yella’ 😵
Thanks again Michael. I appreciate how you never mince your words. I also think you may have missed your calling as a toy creater. I would love to see the Bespin playset that you could bring to life. As you mentioned though, there is an incredible maker community out there. Some have featured on your channel and they are doing mind-blowing work. They are delivering on the emersive experience. When ever possible I'm going to start sending my hard earned dollars in their direction as apposed to Hasbro who clearly doesn't give a damn.
6:52 I still view the 3D Power of the Force Cardboard Jabba’s palace diorama as the superior diorama piece than the plastic wall we got in 2019
MeowMeowChocoChow
Oh that one was great! I used for like 7 years to display my jabba’s palace figures until I learned how to build dioramas. That one was actually complete and not just one wall.
They still can't get their distribution right for their 3.75 vintage collection figures. I always see the first wave in stores, but after that you have to get the figures from following waves online at inflated prices.😠
I thought it was 6” scale when you said it was $50 for “half” of it. That might be more reasonable. But for a 3.75 set... ?!!
One of my favorite videos you’ve ever produced. Thank you.
Those stairs to nowhere are freaking me out, man!
I would of preferred it to be the bridge where vader beats luke instead, As that was actually a bridge to nowhere
This is almost the pinnacle of the thought "Eh there are always some idiots with a hunk of money to throw away who'll eat this crap up, ship it out"
Bronies and (now) Power Rangers fans.
I’ll never ever stop saying it..... I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!
We can now add Mattel’s MOTU Origins Castle Grayskull to the list of play sets that have both play features and scale for a reasonable price.
When you combine them it doesn’t even make an accurate platform, the staircase is only on one side😐
Hasbro alienated me from collecting star wars after 2012. They lost me. I'm all transformers. Even then I'm buying from takara 75% of the time. I try as little as possible to find Hasbro until they start listening to the people.
Hope you're getting the old takara stuff. Cause since POTP they both release the exact same stuff.
Same. In kingdom were finally getting a large ark and luckily unlike Star Wars it's not just an bad looking box; someone on that design team knows what they're doing and made it's a full transformer on its own.
Even Vader thought this was a bad deal
Michael: " .. a talking deadpool head .."
Me: "Wait, what? Awesome!, that would look great next to my boba fett helmet :D"
Michael say it. This is a scam for sure.
Again, something overpriced for no reason.
There’s a reason. The reason is green, and has Presidents on it (plus a Secretary of the Treasury and X the Owl’s idol).
This is why I ALWAYS question the profit margin. Follow the money.
It doesn't even seem to have any kind of play feature. You would expect at the very least being able to lower Han into the freeze chamber and and have some kind of carbon freezing trick.
I think your friend who makes the upscaled Galactica vehicles could do the same with the classic Star Wars Micro Bespin set and make a far better product than this.
Saw this "playset" pop up online today and literally laughed out loud. I hope more fans call bull shit on this thing. Great video!
Hasbro continues to cheap out on fans, while charging outrageous prices.
I found my people!!! OG Fans that refuse to pay $100 for this junk.
The Fans....and import companies, are doing the best work. Fan work first, then figuratively, then Bandai model kits.
Figuarts
Thank you, Michael. I have been watching your videos and you make a lot of sense.
Oh, I’m SURE the usual suspects will be promoting this hunk of junk like they do anything else.
And yes, I’m referring both to Pixel Dan AND those like him. No objectivity, just pushing.
I got the EarthRise Optimus Prime for that same price. He’s actually a TOY. This is nothing. Nothing of actual value. Good Lord.
I started collecting the vintage collection black series stuff then watched your vids and was like, why am I doing this? No more !
I was at work today during the livestream, and didn't see the reveals until I went on a break. I saw the pics of the "playset", and thought It might be something I'd pick up. Then I saw the price. Even after that, I was still considering getting one. Then I watched this video. I was under the mistaken impression that the second half of the chamber was a new piece, not that I'd need to buy 2 of the same one. So thank you Michael! You saved me from wasting $100.00 on this thing.
I like you comment about the figures displayed with the set... I remember thinking whe I first saw this "stage" announced, that I would have to open all of my carded figures to even use it as a display, which are already perfectly displayed...
I love this so much! I haven’t laughed so hard in a LONG LONG time! Thank you Michael & Retroblasting!!!
As a kid who grew up playing with the original Star Wars toys, this play set is really unimaginative.
Here's what happened at Hasbro:
They saw 1 photo of the carbon freeze scene and made this.
Could get that 3D printed and painted for waaaaayyyy less and it would have way more detail!
I shared your video to my FB Group *TOY MANIA*, your video was hands down the best one yet on this crappy excuse of a *playset*, i invite everyone to join if they wish. Been a huge fan of yours for years. Thank you for making this video!
The only way I’d buy that is for a quarter of the price, and I’d only buy it to make a custom Emperor’s Throne room with the carbon chamber as the pit Palpy falls into.
You can already 3D print the round platform for the 6 inch figures. (I just scaled it down by 50%)... You can make better for $20 worth of filament and a few sheets of foam core
And BTW, I got my GB Firehouse for $45 USD 2 years ago when they first came out! $45! With 5 figures!
Man I can’t like this video enough... Sharing this with whoever I can! You’re the best Michael!
Just for reference for how bad the new play- set is, in 2009 they came out with a carbon freezing play-set for the Power Of The Jedi line. I had it and played with it as a kid. It had a working elevator so you could lower Han into the chamber, a missile launching canon, a jail cell, and consoles that can be removed and show circuitry. It even had a block of carbonite that you could put almost any 3.75 figure in. Like if you wanted to you could freeze cobra commander in carbonite if you wanted. Was it screen accurate? Hell no. Was it fun? Hell yeah! Kid me loved that play-set. The fact that that in 2009 is a better play-set then any play-set Hasbro can come up with 11 years later is beyond sad.
It didn't come out in 2009, that set actually came out all the way back in 2001 for the PotJ line! But that only illustrates your point even more so! lol
I feel ya my dude. This feels like a bigger slap in the face than the current TF prices!
Yes, Transformers are pricey, but the quality is much better.
Vader: "your destiny lies with me, Skywalker. Obi-Wan knew this to be true.."
* rumbling starts *
*Luke falls in chamber *
Vader: "All too eas....."
*entire set collapses*
Vader: "Hasbrooooooooo!!!!!"
The power of the force/jedi carbon chamber has always had a special place in my heart lol
I like how lego made 2 bespin sets and one is with the slave 1
