I actually picked this up a couple weeks ago, it was a great way to end 2014.  A Canadian boxed Death Star, I certainly never expected to own this!  It was only missing the rope, but I lucked out and already tracked one down.

Nice addition Jesse.  Anything different about the Canadian version besides the box?

I think the hockey rink is on the command level and the penalty box is the trash compactor...

Picked up a loose R2D2 Switcheroo for $10 at comic shop today. Good shape too.

Switcheroo?  Is that like an Underoo?  ???

It's a light switch plate. You push R2 to turn the lights on/off. They had a Darth Vader and C-3PO versions.

Ahh, I didn't recall the name.  I've still got the Vader one.

When I was a kid I had the Vader one. The eyes glow.

Ha!  Nice!  ;D  No, there's no actual differences between the playsets themselves.

Picked up a carded POTF Sand Skimmer from Brianstoys today for $54.99 w/ free shipping. I think it's a steal considering what I've thought about spending on loose versions.

When that arrives I will have a version (many incomplete mind you) of every vintage figure, vehicle, and playset including Droids and Ewoks. Now the long and arduous journey to completing the many that aren't complete.

Carded?  That is a great deal.  I think I paid close to that for the loose versions, and those were a deal at the time.  Nice score!
