dancin' homer, it would have been Kenner in those days, not Hasbro. But I don't think they cared or had any say in what the catalogs showed their figures standing with, since the catalogs did that kind of thing every year.

I still have the actual magazine pages for the Empire-based playsets, maybe the other one too. Never did build them, but I've always loved the way they looked, and kept the pages since I was little.

Pretty strong childhood memories there for me. It would be cool to make them, but perhaps they are better left in the imagination and those photos from the past....

Chunky, you'd better post some pics somewhere if you actually build one of these.

My artist uncle used to build 'bases' for my figures out of those big pieces of styrofoam that protect TVs and stereo equipment.

jfstan, Holy Cow those are them! That is great!

I never knew about the Hoth and Dagobah sets! I love that the "scummy waters of Dagobah" are filled with Jawas!

Ha ha ha ha... Thanks! Now it's off to the work shop!

i love the days when not everything was gone over with a fine-toothed comb from the licensor.

Whatever catalog this was, I’ll bet Hasbro ripped them a new a-hole for using their figures to sell a competitor’s playset.

I TOTALLY remember those plans!! In fact, our fifth grade teacher ordered them, and let any student who wanted to borrow them.. I never built the thing, but boy it did look nifty.

I never saw it in person, but remember this in the Catalogs. These non-licensed sets were great, weren't they?

The other one that I love is the set you had to order the plans from a "housekeeping" magazine and build all the components yourself using old 2 litter coke bottles and wood.

I actually talked my mom into ordering the plans, wish I new where they were I might try and build it now...

I remember seeing this in the catalog as a kid and thinking it was pretty neat, although obviously not “official”. I’d love to find one today!
