Okay thats kinda wierd. I would like a better shot of that buring Vader figure though.

Can you switch who's on the fire to, say, Jar Jar or Prequel Anakin?

That is all kinds of awesome. Are they also going to make a set of burning Qui-Gon Jinn? How about one of the emperor falling to his death? The Death Star blowing up?

Maybe we can make suggestions to them for future scenes to be made. May I suggest that a Belly of the Sarlacc playset be made that comes with a half digested Boba Fett. If they are willing to make funeral scenes for burning Vader why not one for everyone's fave bounty hunter?

I would buy it, even if the Luke figure looks a bit off. Also Boba got out of the pit, and even if he didn't it takes 1000 years to be digested so we would need to get a half digested skeleton in fetts armor, I would buy that as well

Crazy kids and their playsets! Back in my day, if we wanted to recreate the funeral pyre, we took a damn match to our Darth Vader figures, then went out and bought a new one afterwards.

And that's how George Lucas became rich. The End.

The burning Vader looks like it could of been part of the "Theoden's mausoleum" playset.

I like these new "darker" sets. The "Disturbance at the Lars Homestead" from last year is one of my favs (though overpriced at $50 for a couple figs and a hut).

The thing about that hut is that those molds cost thousands of dollars to make. And it can't be used for anything else. So that's why it was expensive. Because it and the Sarlacc pit were one time only molds that couldn't be reused, so the buyer had to absorb the cost that normally gets spread out among multiple figures.

no doubt that the odd chance Hasbro winds up making the thing some collector will find a way to replace Vader's corpse with say Jar jar or someone else. then the thing will be only limited to who the collector who buys it put in the thing though can also see someone going nus and burning their collection with the thing .

i didn't even see that when I was there but I would definitely buy it. Watch it will be a comic con exclusive next year and you will have to wait through a 3 hour line to get one.

Ah, the Skywalker Family BBQ Set!

Yeah, I've gotta say that I'm all for a bloody-two-part-Darth-Maul-laying-at-the-bottom-of-some-catwalk figurine.

This is nothing. There's already a Toys 'R Us exclusive playset of, get this, the SLAUGHTER OF UNCLE OWEN AND AUNT BERU! Yes! Finally kids and collectors can re-live a moment so gruesome it had to happen off-screen. You'll have to make your own charred skeletons for the after shots, tho.

I'd better be able to change the figs in the pyre... Burning Jar Jar, young Anakin are obvious choices... how about Indy burning Shia... The Real Cobra Commander burning the Love child of Freddie and Jason.

I would buy it if instead of crappy, translucent plastic flames they used a propane or liquid oxygen to allow collectors to really light the whole thing. Fire is good.

Can you imagine, if at the end of the line in '85, they had released this?
Still no Tarkin, slave Leia or Cantina band, just this morbid thing showing up on the shelves with it's mysterious, unexplainable high quality sculpting, and mega articulation just for lighting a Dad Fire?

Sleazebaggins: You're about a year late to the game on that one, mate. Rob posted about that when it came out.

I love that it would actually come with the fire. It could have just been Darth in his cairn and Luke bearing a flaming torch, but NO! The bittersweet flames of Nordic poignancy are included.

I honestly don't know if that's afwul or the best thing I've seen in months.

Not my thing, but I can see where some people would want to have this for use with their Ewok Village playset.

Hasbro, can we have the "Pile of Burning Jawas" playset next? Please?

Bah. All I need is a POTF Darth and a cup of gasoline and I can make a WAY better diorama.
