Once you ignore the bulky Power of the Force action figures, the Detention Block Rescue Set provides a brilliant little bit of Death Star scenery. If you have the two Trash Compactor playsets from the Saga Series then you can have the garbage shoot leading directly down to the trash compactor scene and then the whole ensemble really starts to feel like a panoramic slice of the Death Star action in A New Hope.

I also like the hexaganol door way, although it would be nice to have a bit of a floor platform on the outside of it as well and perhaps a closing door so it would be possible to re-create the ‘close the blast doors, open the blast doors’ moment of the heroes’ escape.
I think that Hasbro perhaps missed a trick here. If this small playset had been designed as a companion peice for the Death Star Escape playset so that they fitted together then the play value and sale-ability of these two items would have been increased many times over. As it is the platforms for the two are at different heights and they don't sit too well together. By comparison, had it been possible to clip them together, they would have formed a sizeable and highly useful diorama.
All Star Wars action figures, vehicles, collectibles and Star Wars toys shown on this website are the 3.75 inch scale and from my own private Star Wars collection unless otherwise stated. Where possible original vintage accessories have been used but in some instances I have placed Kenner Star Wars figures with either reproduction weapons and accessories or for Hasbro figures close approximations have been used. This is mostly the case for modern Star Wars lightsabers where the correct item can be very difficult to identify on some ocassions. Vintage Star Wars action figures are shown with their original weapon or accessory when I have them. When a vintage Kenner action figure is shown with an accessory which is not original I have tried to point this out where possible.
All of the Star Wars action figures shown were purchased second hand, usually incomplete, and in bulk. They have been reunited with their original weapons and accessories where we could get hold of them.
