Description:
One of the cooler Micro Collection playsets, the Death Star Compactor boasted some pretty neat features, including a trash compactor (filled with bits of orange foam "trash") and a movie-accurate blast door. It also featured some of the best figures in the line, namely Luke and Han in their Stormtrooper outfits and Ben Kenobi-- characters unavailable in any other set. In my experience, the Compactor is one of the tougher Micro toys to find.
Both this toy and its companion Death Star Escape set were included in the rare Death Star World ensemble.
