Star Wars Space Death Star and Galaxy Battle Collector's Set

About the time that George Lucas remastered and added digital special effects and some slight changes and additions to his original Star Wars Trilogy (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi) Galoob Toys upped its output of Star Wars toys.

Galoob’s MicroMachines Space Star Wars Galaxy Battle Collector’s Set consists of 12 vehicles and figures from the original Star Wars Trilogy.

Each miniature is a highly detailed recreation of a classic Alliance or Empire spacecraft or character.

Paint application is remarkable considering the size of the miniatures.  Sculpting is tight and surprisingly precise especially on the figures-even their features are distinguishable.

Form-fitting alcoves hold vehicles and figures in place in a plastic molded sleeve.  Additional plastic-covered wire ties are used if the spacecraft are larger.

The Collector’s Box features a clear plastic front panel.  Both the MicroMachines and Star Wars logos display prominently.

Vehicles and Spacecraft include an X-Wing Fighter with pilot and Droid, the Millennium Falcon, a Y-Wing Starfighter with two crew and Droid, Luke Skywalker with Blaster, a Rebel Pilot, Han Solo with Blaster, an Imperial Star Destroyer, a TIE Fighter with pilot, Darth Vader’s Tie Fighter with pilot, Lord Darth Vader with Lightsaber, Imperial Pilot and an Imperial Stormtrooper with Blaster.

The Rebel Pilot, Imperial Pilot and Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter are exclusives only to this set.

 

 
The Star Wars The Death Star Playset features a unique push button and flip open design.

The Death Star Playset slides into two sections revealing the inner workings of the deadly killing machine.

The lower panel includes a Space Vehicle Docking Bay, a Pivoting Tractor Beam that telescopes in and out and a Rotating Gun Station.

The Upper Section includes the infamous Death Star Trench and destructive Beam Emitter.  Push a small button and a section of the Death Star pops open revealing the Death Star Core.

Vehicles and figures include and X-Wing Fighter, R2-D2, Princess Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Lord Darth Vader.

The Death Star Playset is a remarkable miniature feat of engineering and design with clever devices, nice sculpts and fun action.

Two other Playsets are available: Ice Planet Hoth and Endor.  Separate figure and vehicle packs are also available.
