Looks pretty sweet. I'll pick this one up for sure. However I'm not looking forward to those five horrible figures being repackaged I wish it just included the skiff and saarlac...

I don't ever recall there being a sarlacc pit playset before

 

Will this be the first time?

[YounglingKiller]

Yup. It's the first ever Saarlac playset. I'm surprised Hasbro is actually doing a "playset" I thought they have commented multiple times that they weren't going to do playsets anymore. I guess they were just throwing us off.

Hopefully the figures will be a bit different, at least some new paint schemes for any of the skiff guards.

 

This is probably the Target UBP for the Legacy line this year (like last year's Endor & Hoth sets).

 

And there was a Sarlacc Pit in the Micro Machine line Jabba's Palace set. Plus there's the mini-LEGO mouth thing that came with the LEGO Sail Barge set. But yeah, this is the first actual Hasbro 3 3/4" scale one.

 

Now, bring on the Death Star playset (which has been very heavily rumored for quite a while now). @firedevil@

You know, ROTJ was the first Star Wars I saw in the theatre back in '83 and I still have fond memories of that scene where Luke showed that he could do more than just fly a ship or get kicked around by his dead-beat dad. Most of the SW stuff I collect seems to be from 'Jedi', too. I even like Ewoks! And though I believe playsets are a good thing in general, I'm afraid I'm not interested in the Salaac Pit. Great scene, great idea, but the execution comes off a lttle too... um... "anatomically correct"? @loll@ The pit itself just looks too much like those diagrams they showed us back in health class-- now with tentacles!?! I guess it's probably a good idea to stay away from Freudian analysis of a movie where the hero's half-naked sister is chained to a slug creature, which she later strangles with the chain... @hmmm@

I submitted a question in the last Q & A asking if the Skiff would be released again and I was happy to hear that it was. But I get to miss out on it again because of it being exclusive to Target. I got my hopes up for nothing.

whew! good thing this comes with the skiff, i gave away my extra target skiffs just last year.

looks cool, I can see it selling for 50 bucks.
