Micro Machines Darth Vader's Lightsaber Playset

Classic Trilogy Star Wars Lightsaber that opens up into the Death Star Trench Run

Features

  • Imperial Gunner (running)
  • Darth Vader (choking pose?)
  • Grand Moff Tarkin
  • X-wing (Red 2 closed wings)
  • aim down targeting scope
  • flick button below scope to launch X-wing
  • hitting laser bolt knocks out panel
  • hitting thermal exhaust port pops it out
  • 2 rotating turbolaser turrets
  • opening clear hatch
  • landing pad holds fighters

This is part of the Adventure Gear line, which is similar to some of the Battle Gear released for the Military line. The overall design is pretty cool. You get a decent looking trench and a few different play areas. The green markings stand out though and look off. And the play areas are very small considering the figure bases barely fit in some areas. The blast-off panel doesn't always pop out.

However, my biggest issue is the X-wing. I love the look of it, but why Red 2? And why are the S-foils closed? It seems an odd choice.
