Step into the climactic moments of A New Hope with this vintage 1994-1996 Galoob Micro Machines Darth Vader Lightsaber Playset. This unique "Transforming Action Set" is designed to look like a full-sized Darth Vader lightsaber hilt, which hinges open to reveal a detailed miniature diorama of the Death Star Trench.

This item is being sold incomplete and is perfect for collectors looking for a replacement hilt/shell, or for fans who enjoy creating custom tabletop dioramas and displays.

Playset Features

As a part of the legendary Galoob Micro Machines line, this set is celebrated for its clever "hidden world" engineering.

  • Exterior: A highly detailed replica of Darth Vader's lightsaber hilt, featuring the signature vertical cooling fins and ignition switch detailing.

  • Interior: The hilt opens to reveal the Death Star's surface, including the thermal exhaust port and the narrow trench where the final battle took place.

  • Action Features: Includes the manual sliding mechanism designed to "pilot" micro-ships through the trench run.

Condition & Parts Notes

  • Completeness: This set is incomplete. It is missing the original micro-figures (such as Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker) and the miniature vehicles (X-Wing and TIE Advanced) that originally came with the set.

  • Structural Integrity: The main hilt casing, hinges, and the fold-out interior sections are in good working order. The latch to keep the lightsaber closed functions correctly.

  • Cosmetic Condition: The plastic shows light play wear consistent with its age. The silver chrome-style accents on the hilt may show minor scuffing or "rub" marks typical of 90s Galoob toys.

  • Maintenance: The item has been cleaned and stored in a smoke-free, climate-controlled environment to preserve the vintage plastic.

May cause respiratory issues
Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 4 Panel
The painting on this panel is beautiful and quality has held up BUT I’m almost certain this contributed to respiratory issues. It was next to my bed for a year and I recently noticed it’s still shedding red/brown dust. The wood was clearly painted over and it makes me skeptical about the wood that was used. The panel itself feels like it’s made cardboard. If you’re sensitive or plan to place this panel in a main living area, I would not recommend

Ideal to hide stuff.
Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 6 Panel
A really decorative pice for privacy, but I will also purchase the feet separately for sturdiness.

Muted But Pretty!
Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 3 Panel
Nice, sturdy 3-panel screen/room divider! However, could/should have been priced at $20-30 less. I like that it stands and folds easily, and there is not too much decoration or an exorbitant design. The colors are muted and would work well with many styles or color schemes. Personally, I wanted the wood frame to be a little lighter in color though.
