I just used it as an “ultimate weapon” for the Empire during Star Wars playtime, it was bigger than anything except the Millennium Falcon, AT-AT, or a playset, and built tougher also. Lots of “space pinching” going on in Star Wars land. It also had an arm that could come out to knock things around and keep them in line. Hard to believe the new price was so cheap, but the dollar has lost gigantic chunks of buying power since then. I remember saving lunch money for months and months as a kid to get enough to buy one of the 18″ Alien figures, which was probably $20 or less.
