Possibly, can't do any harm can it.thankfully the bubble is perfectly sealed - long may that last - I wonder if tucking it up in a star case helps?

Not often I see something I've never seen beforeThis is one of the quirkiest POTF2 sets I think
This one is sealed so Mr Solo is n there somewhere. Likely dislodged after a long shipping trip from the US.

Totally agree.I would go so far as to make the bold statement that the POTF2 line introduced the most amount of innovation to a SW toy line Hasbro has ever done and what makes it so interesting (and frustratingly underrated).
the figures may have started with a bit of a steroid problem with the Red Cards - but look how they evolved, the moulds and introduction of EU characters all the way through to new points of articulation and the comm-tech technology and that first Darth Vader with removable helmet etc. Just look at all the fantastic creatures they did, the updates to the TaunTaun and Wampa make them still among the best ever and the intro of the Ronta and Bantha - these are great toys.
We saw the first Comic 2-Packs, mail-away figures the Cinema Scene 3-Packs and while some of the deluxe packs may have missed the mark, starting to bundle in figures with smaller play elements was a good shift and then the FX figures and eventually the FX X-Wing (which is still one of the best X-Wings ever) and the last few vehicles (Y-Wing and Skiff) introduced the see through boxes allowing collectors to actually enjoy the toy without having to open the box (or just look at artwork on cardboard).
The CD-ROM set and the Escape from the Death Star board game, even the slightly strange Leia 'fashion' 2-packs.
Hasbro threw a lot at the wall with this line and I can't think of another line where they tried quite as much.
I remember buying the Jabba set just to get the slightly less buff Han figure. I need to go dig them outA bit of a blast from the past this one. When this came out I was still on a 'buy every figure Hasbro made' drive, and hence I bought the CD ROM Playset for the Han figure, and certainly not for the playset or interactive game (and no, that particular piece of software never got loaded onto my PC!). As stated on Rebelscum (my main resource for keeping up to date with new releases at the time, along with 'Tomart's Action Figure Digest' and 'Lee's Action Figure News and Toy Review'), Hasbro took the Gunner Station Han and slightly re-worked it. The main change was new legs with articulated knees so he could actually sit in the CD ROM Playset chair
Here are my ones, firstly the Gunner Station Han, and then the CD ROM Playset one:
