Found this today at TRU -- been wanting it for a while, but now I'm kinda "meh" about it.


I have the Mustafar playset, so I know how small this thing was gonna be - still, I figured if nothing else I could use it for the "front end" of a larger temple playset that I planned on making. Here are some pics w/ Lara Croft for an idea of size for those of you without the Mustafar set:



Woohoo- action features



A positive aspect - it's small enough to fit on a shelf:


But in the end, I like my homemade Temple Playset a lot better




So is it worth $40 - I'd say probably not. $25-30 on clearance? Sure. It's great for those of you with limited space or that want a mini-dio type setup. Or better yet, if you're like me and just need a "factory made" facade for your larger diorama (the reason I got it even though I knew it would be lame.) If you're looking for a nice "stone mountain" playset with lots of playability, go with the Geonosis arena or with the Imaginext Jungle playset:



Cheers!

I'm really glad you posted this. I was on the fence about looking for this since I already own the Mustafar playset (Thanks Darko!). Now I know I can totally skip it even though I like the temple aspect of it.

Oh you're the one I sold that to.

Unless this goes on major, major "please steal" clearance, this is a big ol' pass. I remember buying the mustafar playset, setting it next to my Cobra Mountain playset, and, for the first time ever, thinking, "Hmm, maybe Cobra Mountain isn't *that* pathetic."

I know you were psyched about this set for a while man

I don't imagine they'd clearance as well as those Van Helsing sets did, but I'd probably use one for my 1:24 scale Morrowind customs. Just replace the top totem, with the Stone Monkey warrior idol from the Lara Croft movie figures, and you have a decent shrine to the Daedra Malacath.

Sucks being in Ebay/Scalper central. Sucks worse to be poor.

I got one of these for my oldest son, for Christmas.

With as much as he loves playing with his Indy figures with the Narnia castle he got for his birthday, I'm sure he is going to have tons of fun with this too!
