I will be adding boxed pics of all the items for yha. buthere is a sneak peak of the CC playset

McMetal:
Wait a minute, so there's THREE versions of the Jabba's dungeon playset?  ::)

Other than the figure assortment, is there any difference between the 3? Are the base, sticker, etc all identical?

Perfect timing on this...I am in the process of buying my remaining missing ones up now. (Which actually is pretty much all of them since even the ones I had were incomplete)

Back in the day I missed on the Command Center and Cloud City sets too. It was kind of hard keeping up with all the exclusives when I was like, 10 years old.

Reconsgt:
