DeathStar-01

Lego customizer Eric “Baron Sat” Druon has created his own version of the Death Star. Baron Sat’s version is based on the vintage cardboard Death Star playset released in 1978.

Palitoy-Catalog

This vintage cardboard Death Star playset was not released in the United States and as such is missing from many a collection.  It was released in the United Kingdom by Palitoys, in France by Meccano,  in Australia by Toltoys and in Canada by Kenner Canada.  There are variations among the four versions but overall they are generally the same playset.
