From the 1981 Sear Wishbook:

The Rebel Command Center was a Sears exclusive sold first during Christmas of
1981. The base of the playset is identical to the base of the Hoth Ice Planet
playset (which is just a Land
of the Jawas base in molded in white plastic instead of brown). The set came
with a new backdrop depicting the inside of the Hoth "Echo Base" and three
figures.
Sears had a series of exclusive playsets:
- 1979 Cantina
Adventure Set
- 1981 Rebel Command Center
- 1981 Cloud City
Playset
- 1983 The Jabba the
Hutt Dungeon (with ROJ figures).
- 1984 The Jabba The Hutt Dungeon (with POF figures)
The Cantina and
Cloud City Playsets consisted of cardboard backdrops and included four action
figures. The Rebel Command Center and Jabba's Dungeon were both based on
previous Kenner releases ( Ice Planet Hoth and Droid Factory playsets
respectively) and included three figures.
Parts list
- White plastic base.
- Cardboard backdrop.

- Three 3 3/4" action figures : LukeSkywalker in Hoth Battle

Features

activates a small platform on the plastic base that " jumps", knocking over an
action figure.
