SWTOTW, Week 6, 2018, Part 1/2 Imperial Attack Base

Imperial Attack Base:

First item for week 6 the Imperial Attack Base I love this playset, I never had it when I was a kid and I never saw it in Denmark for sale

I have had this box in my collection for more than 15 years, it is not perfect. But it is good enough for me

Here's mine. One of the few boxed items I have.

My is mint in box, I wanted best example I could find. The accessories sealed in bags. I am in two minds about this playset. In the box it looks nice. Loose and when it gets discoloured or dirty, it just looks like an unsightly lump of plastic.

I like the little playset features, where you flick to collapse the snow bank and command post. On the other hand, it is just a big lump of white plastic. Something says to me Kenner tried their best, but at the same time didn't quite pull it off.

Both sides of the box are shown.

just noticed its hard copy Han in the taun taun saddle on the box art 8)

That figure really got around

I never had any playsets as a kid but I’ve always liked this one and would have loved it. I just think the plastic base is so cool. Good play value and also a great display piece for collectors, an instant diorama. I would like a loose one when I have more display space.

I agree it is cool and a great diorama 8) I hope you will soon find some display space so you can get such a great playset :wink:

The image is of a transparency of the figure that I own, still nice but no hard copy

Another gap being belatedly filled! Thanks to all the previous posters for sharing their playsets, and my apologies for the late posting of mine.

I never owned an Imperial Attack Base as a child. I was always a 'Turret and Probot' boy myself, as those things were actually in the film, unlike the simply 'made up' Imperial Attack Base! :lol: A friend of mine had an IAB though, and I can now finally admit that it undeniably had better play value than the TAP! I guess that's why the former is a good deal easier to find these days than the latter... It obviously sold a lot more!

It's still never going to be my favourite vintage Star Wars toy (because it wasn't in the film, dammit! :lol: ), but it still has its place. Here's mine:

love this set great visuals for display but no space to have one

This was one of my absolute favourite toys.

I loved re creating the snow battles

My attack base still had 40 years worth of dirt and crap on it until the other day.

I've just 'lent' it to a friends 6 year old son so he can enjoy it. They have given it a clean and said it has come up lovely.

It's great to see peoples pictures of them in mint condition
