[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 519214, member: 7379"] Previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer... Er, I mean Toy of the Week, there was a discussion regarding whether this set features Yoda's house (which as a child, I had always assumed this was supposed to be), or whether it is simply a large tree stump. If it is supposed to be Yoda's house then it's a really lousy likeness by Kenner (see Lars' picture at the start of this thread). For my own part, the real problem (as it turns out) is that I have never owned a set of the instructions for this before... until now :-). I am delighted to say that recently I finally acquired some Palitoy ones to go with my playset. They were a little bit dirty and somewhat crumpled, but a quick clean and iron later, and they look much improved :-) So why mention this? Well, because reading the instructions leaves us in no doubt as to what Kenner intended this playset to be... a stump! It's right there in black and white several times throughout the instructions, even pointing out that it is removable to increase play value (which would be a rather odd thing to do to Yoda's house, unless you were making way for a new hyperspace / swamp bypass). Anyway, here they are in all their clarifying glory :-D: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Stump 01.jpg"]61093._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Stump 02.jpg"]61094._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Stump 03.jpg"]61095._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Stump 04.jpg"]61096._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
