If you're interested in acquiring such a beauty, new and used models can still be found, even though the playset has been long out of production.īuying one new, still in the unopened box, it should be guaranteed that all the pieces are included, they fit, and aren't broken. But more importantly, I'm not planning on using the original action figures at any time during this campaign, so I didn't want to deny a true collector the chance of owning an unopened version.Īn inspection of the Nubian Royal Starship I decided to go with the used ship for a couple of reasons. One brand new, still sealed in the box, and one used with no box (and $50 cheaper). Then a few weeks ago, I happened to be in the Kirkland area, so I swung by Amazing Heroes, hoping they'd still have the playset. Over the past several months, I thought about the Nubian Royal Starship-a lot.

I didn't buy it then, because I had my doubts: Do I really need such a ship? Where will I store it? Is it worth spending nearly $100 on?

Venturing inside, I discovered they had a Star Wars Episode 1 Electronic Naboo Royal Starship Blockade Cruiser Playset. This has been used as the player character's (PC's) transport, Gadnek Survivor, earlier in this campaign.īack in January, while looking for the The Panzer Depot, I stumbled across Amazing Heroes next door. I already have a Millennium Falcon playset on long-term loan from my friend Joe. Since then, I've felt I a growing need for a larger version of this vessel to use with my 34mm Star Wars Miniatures.

This is the model I used to illustrate the pirate attack against the Tarsan ambassador, while on board the Tangletree Envoy. The J-Type 327 Nubian Royal Starship you see zooming through space in the above image is part of the Star Wars Titanium Series I purchased several years ago.
