[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 532482, member: 7379"] OK Lars, the Cantina playsets are another category you didn't want to separate into their respective Kenner and Palitoy versions, so here goes... I loved my Palitoy Cantina as a young boy. I truly can't adequately convey the excitement of being 6 or 7 years old and getting a toy like this, plus the weird and exotic cantina aliens to populate it with, and to recreate the scene from Star Wars! This, along with the other Palitoy playsets, form my fondest childhood toy memories. I spent hour after hour playing with them, and simply adored them :-) For anyone unfamiliar with the differences between the 2 sets, it's not just the packaging which is different. As with the Land of the Jawas playsets, every single aspect of the Palitoy Cantina is different to the Kenner one: _ _ _ _ _ [b][color=#40BF00]Kenner[/color][/b]: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [b][color=#40FFFF]Palitoy[/color][/b]: [b][color=#FFFF00]Name[/color][/b]: _ [color=#40BF00]Creature Cantina Action Playset.[/color] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [color=#40FFFF]Cantina.[/color] [b][color=#FFFF00]Base[/color][/b]: _ [color=#40BF00]Dark yellow, hard plastic, moulded bar & table, action features.[/color] _ [color=#40FFFF]Bright yellow, flimsy plastic, no bar/table, card-backed, no action features.[/color] [b][color=#FFFF00]Doors[/color][/b]: _ [color=#40BF00]Brown plastic doors which slot into doorframe & base.[/color] _ _ _ _ _ _ [color=#40FFFF]Light grey cardboard doors with silver stickers for hinges.[/color] [b][color=#FFFF00]Backdrop[/color][/b]: _ [color=#40BF00]Brown-backed, thicker cardboard, no cutouts.[/color] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [color=#40FFFF]White-backed, thinner, taller card.
