I always loved the Death Star Playset, and still do. That's one of the best play-value playsets ever made. It's got nearly everything. However, the Palitoy Death Star actually beats it in some ways. It's round (well, half-round) and has so much of the Death Star environment packed into it that it's amazing. But it doesn't have the elevator/tractor beam or the rope swing. Ideally, if you had both sets together you would be in heaven. But since they were released in separate countries, I'm sure there were VERY few kids that had both. Maybe if you lived near the Canadian border and your parents were rich you could get both.

My parents weren't rich and generally only bought things for me on birthdays or Christmas, hence no Death Star back then. But I have one now, proudly displayed on a shelf in my den area. I didn't have the Milennium Falcon either (and still don't) - biggest toy I could manage was the TIE Fighter for a while.

The one playset I had always wanted but never got was the Star Destroyer playset. I always liked Vader's chamber, and the upside-down-character-hanging feature (although I have no idea where that came from).

I actually DID have the Star Destroyer playset! Later on after ESB came out, my grandparents bought me that for Christmas. It was the biggest thing I ever got! Of course I had lots of fun with it, but I have to admit it's kind of low on the play value scale other than for pretending to fly it around and chase other ships.
