Don't sets like this make you wish that Galoob/ Hasbo had continued producing Micro Machines throughout the prequels?
It's a Great and a 1/2 piece and well worth tracking down if you're a Star Wars Micro Machines collector with an interest in the Episode I product. This is absolutely a set I wish I had owned as a kid because of how many play opportunities it offers. There are lots of rooms and fun little interactive features. I do wish it had the ability to "close-up" into a regular looking starship but that doesn't detract at all from how fun it is as a playset. The Royal Starship Repair is a very, very cool playset. Let's take a closer look at this very cool playset after the break. Much of Episode I takes place onboard the Naboo Royal Starship, Queen Amidala's modified J-type 327 Nubian starship, so this makes perfect sense as a deluxe playset for the line. Having completed all of the playsets from the Original Trilogy, I've begun procuring Episode I sets when I can and this one was a huge check off my list (I have two sets left to pick up and one to complete!). There was so much stuff on shelves that most of these sets were ordered in limited numbers and thus are hard to track down today. By the launch of the Episode line Galoob was now owned by Hasbro and, unfortunately, it suffered the same problems as Hasbro during the Episode I launch: Too much product on shelves. As best as I can tell, the Royal Starship Repair was released later in 1999 as part of the second "wave" of Episode I product. I've recently announced that one of my goals for Action Figure Barbecue is too have the most comprehensive archive of Star Wars Micro Machines reviews on the web and today I'm making another step towards that effort with a review of one of the more difficult to acquire Episode 1 Micro Machines playsets: Royal Star Repair.
