1979 Sears Interplanetary Star Fortress Playset
“Blast off to adventure with this complete playset and any of your space figures. 11 1/2 x 11 1/2 x 20-in. high space “mountain” is a storage and carrying case for your space figures. When “mountain” is opened and laid flat, it’s a 34×34-in. space world. Space capsule rotates and is mounted with a non-firing cannon. Set up other buildings side by side or vertically. Vinyl, cardboard.”
The biggest danger of working on books like Each Sold Separately is that it’s very easy to stumble across things you should never remember. For example, the 1979 Interplanetary Star Fortress playset from the Sears catalog. This always did look like an awesome playset — just look at how big it is! — and seeing the Flickr set dedicated to the playset also isn’t helping.
And as if that wasn’t enough there’s an entire page for the playset at theswca.com where we also see the 1981 catalog, the toy with vintage Kenner Star Wars action figures, and even the brown (illustrated!) shipping box.
And as one last piece of “not helping any of you” I offer these two eBay links where the playset can be found right now:
