Well I can't speak for the youtubers and I wasn't alive 40 years ago but I don't think anyone is asking for that here... all the toys r us' went out of business lol

You can still go to target, walmart or just order quite a few playsets off amazon

I bought the mission fleet razor crest, drilled a few holes and it fits the vintage collection figures just fine and it was found at walmart for $40... it's not in scale but the cockpit hatch is usually closed when I have it displayed anyway. Plus I don't think the vintage collection razor crest was perfectly to scale from some of the reviews I saw online it looked like the back seats were too close to the door

I also was able to walk into a target and buy a McFarlane clayface big boy for $40... works just fine as a stand in for a rancor... again not as big or accurate, but for a cheapskate like me it works. I did kickstart a small company like bossfight but they had top notch stuff for reasonable prices
