Star Wars Episode 1 Electronic Naboo Royal Starship Blockade Cruiser Playset Customer Review: Whole Lotta Plastic Goin’ On
Hasbro’s Royal Naboo Starship Cruiser Playset is eyecatching. It’s big. The large (almost 3′) toy is sturdy plastic with many features: a dozen or so electronic sounds; well-detailed interior compartments that have moving features, such as reclining seats on the flight deck, an extending ramp, a ‘lift’ that operates, and the hatches that reveal three main compartments. The flight deck slides out to reveal a lower area. Three R2 units are included as well as an escape ship. Sticklers will wish the craft was more ‘scale sized’ but that would make it an impractical size. As it is, it’s an acceptable compromise of scale and detail, like the Trilogy Milleneum Falcon. For devotees of the iconic look of the Queen’s ship, it’s a must-have, but you will need a lot of display space to properly enjoy it. I am not sure how ‘playable’ it is/was, because of the fragility of some of the components, like the hinged ‘lids’ but it is an impressive display piece.
