TVC Tantive IV Hallway Playset

I might only have the room to do the enclosed hallway that she showed in the livestream.

That's the beauty of this thing. Now I'm wondering what the layout looks like for the escape pod side of the wall. I wonder if the floor plates fit on that side too.


Oh man, now I'm realizing how much I want foot pegs in the floor plates.  I don't see any. Those rad poses are less rad when you have to glue the figures in place.

Pretty freaking awesome. I pre-ordered 2 sets to open. Really stinks that the RFT is a straight re-pack, though.

I think the only person on the site who can bitch about the RFT is Jesse.

[Jesse James]

You’d be surprised.  Lotta people think the holster should be done.  I still do but on a repack like this I’m not shocked it’s just a repack too.  It’s filler in the set and a good choice.

[Darth_Anton]

I hate to agree. We absolutely can use an upgrade with a holster and new head-sculpt. But, it would stink with this set.

[Jesse James]

Yeah this set isn’t the place...

It’d be kinda neat to see it as like maybe the MP from Rogue One.  Perhaps has a sleeve cuff you slide up the arm.  That would be cool to me.  Ditch the hat and leg ammo thing in place of a holster, sleeve cuff, new head.  Rebrand it.

Or I’d totally be into them doing the director of Rogue One as a RFT from the films end.

All or any of this. The nod to the director is a cool idea.

I ordered a couple of these.  They look awesome!  The inclusion of a Rebel Fleet Trooper is cool.  But with it being on a Rogue One card it left me wondering why they would reissue a RFT with the most distinctive look out of all of the Rebel Troopers on the Tantive IV in A New Hope.  I'd like to see some alternate head sculpts for the RFT's.  And I think making one with Gareth Edwards' likeness would be fantastic!

And I was happy to see that Cardboard Galaxy already has plans in the works to enhance the inside passageway where Leia puts the datacard with the Death Star plans into R2-D2.

Yes, I am really excited by the possibilities of this set! I also envision doing a Profundity hallway (Vader vs RFTs from Rogue One) backdrop that will line up with a doorway, a bridge area, the ANH "Vader/Antilles" room, maybe a ROTS conference room? This piece is very inspiring...

[Darth_Anton]

Okay. That's cool.

Hasbro pulse is now sold out on this. That seems significant. Hopefully it sends a loud message to hasbro about how much we like playsets with an amazing design.

[Mister Skeezler]

It's more of a diorama than a playset though, no? I'm glad that's the angle they're taking. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I have no interest in an Emperor's throne room, with a garbage masher one level down, and playsets tend to take huge liberties in the name of play features. Focus on the environment, not the play features.

I'm with you that some kind of generic "Death Star" playset that tries to have features from RO, ANH, and ROTJ kinda doesn't interest me as much anymore.  I'd much rather have a great $50 stand-alone RO Death Star Control Room set, a $50 ANH Garbage Masher Set, and a $50 ROTJ Throne Room set, etc.

If Hasbro wants to make them modular enough that people who want to stack them can? Fine, as long as it doesn't take away from the overall look of the piece.  I doubt I'd stack them though.

I'd take all those! 👍
