BoingBoing has this archive pic of an old kid’s playset and one of the more unusual items of Star Wars merchandising – it’s a kid’s climbing frame and swing playset (and a very shoogly looking one at that! Very unstable looking, even before being attacked by Ewoks). It’s inspired by the Scout Walkers from Return [...]
