"I wasn't originally planning to buy this simply because it seemed expensive, but Amazon had it for half off so I decided to go for it. I'm glad I did. This set is incredible. Vader is pretty posable (although he cannot sit down) and has ball-and-socket joints in his neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, pelvis, knees, and ankles. He will stand on his own; however, he isn't too stable (just like the real Vader, haha! I'll stop now) so I'd recommend a base. The lightsaber hilt is also a bit long but this can easily be fixed by removing one of the three segments. The only thing I was disappointed about is that Vader's lightsaber does not glow and it appears to on the box.
Attached are three images: the set by itself, the set with the box as a comparison, and the set next to a minifigure. (The base of grass and rocks is not included in the set.)"

Excellent product
"I've been waiting for this set for some time and I was not disappointed. The set itself is very nice although it is small, and the minifigures that come with it are great.
The hut itself seems to be movie-accurate, although I think the ceiling is shorter (Luke hits his head on the ceiling at one point in Empire), but I'd assume the accuracy is being substituted for being able to play with the set. I also like the detail inside the hut, especially the circular window and the fold-up bed.
The training area outside looks excellent. The "vine" that Luke can swing from works quite well, as does the bricks that let you pop him off. The handstand area (for lack of a better word) could be better, as Luke's arm doesn't quite fit around his hair, and I would add a second clear pole for lifting R2-D2. The area where Luke is supposed to jump or flip over does not work very well."
