Hi Joey, trust me you will absolutely love your palitoy death star. When I finally got mine it fulfilled a dream I didn't think would ever come true! Congratulations!
I cant wait to unbox it!
What I love and like about your videos is not only all the history you give us for these toy play sets but the thrill and excitement in your voice talking about them.
Thanks Bounty Hunter! I have fun making these :). Thanks for checking out the video 🙌🏼
Joey when it comes to finishing getting the rest of the vintage playsets. hey look at that sign, it says, don't forget, you are here forever. lol.
Haha! Well said Joe 😎
Strange that box sizing came into it? I have a Palitoy Vintage Action man boxed training tower, the box and it are absolutely enormous 😂
At the time Star Wars was an untested toy, so thats why toy store owners were hesitant to have a huge toy like that take up so much space and plus it cost a lot to buy wholesale in bulk. So when the Palitoy designers presented the Death Star, they were comfortable taking a risk on those lower cost playsets and toys.
Don't forget the 1978 mail away action display stand. It's actually a playset because you can rotate the figures. 💪😉
That’s a good one Deano! I didn’t have it categorized as a Playset, but that’s a good one
Great video your collection is amazing I have started collecting back in 1987 but and still missing 7 figures and 3 playsets but I kinda drfted away since I can’t afford it anymore.
Im simply amazed and happy for you
Thanks Francois! It sounds like you have an amazing collection as well! If you want to join The Padawan Academy on Facebook you can post pics of your collection :). Thanks for watching and May the Force Be With You!
Oh boy, were getting closer to the ships, & vehicles.
Indeed! Thanks for watching skurgel!
Awesome. Love this journey. I have loose versions of almost all the playsets but only one with the box. -and I got most of mine 30+ years ago. heheh. Why didn’t I get the boxes back then!?!? lol
Thanx for another great video and as always, have fun!
YES! Having fun is the main point, thats a great reminder JOhn!
Another great video Joey 🙂 I just got my first ever Romba today and was still buzzing from receiving him while watching your video. Thanks for these wonderful videos.
Thats great timing William! Great pickup on Romba!
Great Video!! The Palitoy Droid factory is a great addition to the run. just remember there are 2 variants to it. The Base comes in 2 colors.. Yellow and Blue. I would also add the Palitoy Creature Cantina to your list as well
Thanks Jason! I was considering the Creature Cantina, but at some point and I may add that as a surprise addition at the end OR if I see one for sale at a great price.
I don't have the Palitoy Death Star and Droid Factory. I sure would love to have them, but I don't even have a clue how to find them. Maybe you can be our hero on those, Joey. :). I really REALLY have been wanting the Empire Strikes Back Command Center. I know it's the same plastic piece with a different cardboard backdrop BUT it's a collection item. I've found them in the past but always at a time I didn't have the budget. Well the quest for me is still on and you just inspired me to keep looking for the Palitoy Death Star and Droid Factory. Who knows maybe I will find it in some store in France when I am visiting my cousins. :)
Hey Jedi! The best bet is to join Facebook groups and then feel out which ones have the best environments to buy in. I only go to a handful these days and I often call them out in my videos.
TPC, I really feel for you in your searches, this is the WORST era to buy these things, scalpers are everywhere..the costs are being manipulated by 'investors'...I really fear a bubble, and what can happen when it bursts. I just bought some instruments for Droopy McCool, for $100! This is an insane era. I hope it ends soon.
I hear ya CC! I hope the prices dip a little soon! Thanks for watching my friend!
Your collection is fantastic and cost you a lot of money. As I mentioned before you are young and have been seeing the prices rise on all vintages Kenner and palitoy. I'm lucky to have what I do from my time growing up and having a few dollars to buy them in the 77- + years
Thanks Wade! Yes the prices have been steep lately
Great episode Joey and good luck for your new rules !
Thanks Pascal!
I was just thinking about this series the other day. I knew it would be a little bit more difficult to complete than finding all the figures, as some of these playsets are definitely challenging to find in the condition you're looking for in the price range you're hoping for.
Really enjoyed recapping all the pieces you've acquired so far and seeing the condition of each that you got as well. Your game is definitely stepping up my friend.
As for adding the Palitoy place that versions to your list, I think we had discussed that when you originally put together your goals and rules for this run. But even more impressive is that you got yourself a Palitoy Death Star. That's definitely one of the grail items I'd love to have at some point in my collection as well. I saw that GW/Iains has an amazing acrylic bubble so that you can display it and protect it all at once and it's out of box form. That thing is amazing. Can't wait to see the one that you got.
Good luck on the rest of your run. I'll be here for every episode and rooting for you.
Thanks Mopar! The most important thing on this run is that I have a ton of fun and I learn a lot doing the research :).
@@thepadawancollectorofficial Having fun is key! 💯
Awesome video Joey! Congrats on your incoming Death Star from Palitoy!!!
Thanks Mike!
Joey, do you know about the cardboard backdrop that came with the department store versions of the Slave I and Darth Vader TIE Fighter? The cardboard backdrop features what looks like an imperial docking bay. The Slave I version is cut down to fit in the box. They are better than the cheap vacu-form plastic of the Palitoy cantina, droid factory, and Land of the Jawas overseas.
Hey Richard! Yes! And I hope to get those versions when I do my vehicle run soon :)
Awesome video yet again 🫶 my fav play set is the Palitoy Death Star, came out for £9.99 back in the day, always wanted it for Christmas but never got it …. Till my awesome girlfriend got me one recently for my birthday and it was well worth the wait, it’s my holy grail
Wow! She’s a keeper!!! Thanks for watching Jamie!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial she sure is and she supports my passion for vintage Star Wars toys 🤘
What’s your all time favourite item in your collection? I’d ♥️to know
If we learned anything from Toy Story it's that toys are meant to be played with, not kept in the box "for display only". You have basically become Al, from Al's Toy Barn.
Hey Thee! Haha AL!
That sears adventure cantina set I bought without the figures and added them later
That might be the best way to go for this one to keep costs down
I've still got my Star Wars figure collection from when I was a kid and I've got the Cantina Adventure Set with the Blue Snaggletooth, but at the time I got it, the box got thrown away. Who kept boxes back then?
Hey Destructarr! Yea it’s going to be a super good hunt trying to find that one!
I’m like u I started only w the intentions to recollect the vintage SW figs to recard but before u know it I wanted a lose figure set then I started buying play sets and vehicles ,well I’m near done myself and if I didn’t stop to buy some newer retro items along the way like Jabba Sail Barge ,some Bantha’s and retro like Kenner SW figs I would’ve been done much sooner lol.
It’s def a rabbit hole collecting these, but it’s a great hobby I think :). Sounds like you are having fun :) thanks for the comment Bantha 🙌🏼
I have a few of the sets you are looking for. I’ll DM you with pics. 👍🏽
Dude you are EPIC!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Subbed 😊 👍 may the force be with you
Thanks for the sub Paul!!! May the force be with you!
Do you know about the unofficial playsets that appeared in Family Circle magazine? Junkman does a video on it. I'll link it if you need me too. It's amazing, not something you need to fullfill an official run but badass none the less.
It was Woman's Day not Family Circle.
Hey Acro! I haven’t seen that video, but I have seen that Playset. It’s super interesting
@@thepadawancollectorofficial It's one of those one of a kind SW collecting oddities. I've found, but can't currently find, two videos of peeps actually making this. I wanted to as a kid. If one did make it, it would be a space issue. I'm glad you know about it. Was wondering.
How can we obtain a replacement part for the cannon mechanism for the Death Star?
Best way is to find another Death Star space station that you can buy cheaply for parts, the other harder way, is to search for people selling that part on your own.
I support you.
Thanks Gar!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial no problem
Love your videos. Can You please tell how I can get a hanging figures case like the one behind You in your video ? Thanks, in advance !!
Its from a company called Collector Displays in the UK. Quality displays and Drew the owner is a super nice and stand up guy.
So a question for you. Are the Slave 1 and DV TIE Fighter backdrops playsets or vehicle accessories?
That’s a great question! I’ll answer it on the next Q&A video 🙌🏼
@@thepadawancollectorofficial Sweet! Cards on the table, I think there are more then just these two answers to this question. I'll be curious to what your answer is. I'll post my answer when make the video.
In the mean time if you need info or resources (you seem to know your way around the right places) for this please let me know.

Hey CTCole!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial keep up the great work !
When did you become the gatekeeper for what defines a 'complete' collection?
Hey Disrespectify! I always say that collecting is a thing that you should define on your own, so this is what I consider to be complete for my collection. If this helps, then that’s the goal to form your own collection guide.
