[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 515832, member: 7379"] Thanks :-) Yes, it is an odd playset in several ways. Clearly Kenner didn't mind their name being stamped on such a feeble product, but unlike the very similar Cantina Adventure Set, they drastically reduced the size of the box it came in as well, reducing the perceived value for buyers. Also, since it's a Cloud City Playset, I do scratch my head over the inclusion of Dengar as one of the figures. That one's never made much sense to me. Han Bespin, Lobot and Ugnaught, all yes, obviously. But Dengar? Why? Was it simply because he was a new / newish figure at the time? Were Kenner worried they'd over-produced him following the mail-away offer and this was a way of reducing stock? Were they working off incomplete or early information from Lucasfilm? Or did someone simply like that figure, or perhaps even cock-up by choosing him? I'd be interested to know the reason for his inclusion. [/QUOTE]
