I asked this on another forum, but i'll ask you all here in case you can answer it as well. Tonight I bought this at a Target here in Maryland:

is this the first time they've offered the Tantive IV/Rebel Blockade Runner in toy form? I can't recall seeing one before, but I may be wrong. There are (at least) three of these vehicle/playset pieces out now: this one, the Invisible Hand, and the Clone Turbo Tank. My Target had one of these and 3 Invisible Hands. If you're old like me and you remember the old He-Man Slime Pit, this is kinda like a Star Wars version. It comes with red lava to be poured from the top of the open playset that I imagine is very similar to that old slime... but i'll never know because i'm not opening this. And, yes, the mini Anakin figure has a green saber. I don't know why they messed that up.
But yeah. The original question: is this the first time this ship has been made into a toy?
