I had the Star Destroyer Playset and loved it. Mind you, I was six at the time. I never understood nerd hate over silly things like that. File that under hate for the 13th Doctor.
I too like the Star Destroyer playset and think it's underrated. It grips onto your arm so you hold it like the Falcon. I like to think of it more as a mobile attack base for Darth Vader.
The Star Destroyer playset does not disappoint. I got mine for Christmas in 1980 (along with the 15" IG-88 figure), and everything still works, including the red light in Vader's meditation chamber. Even my nephew has played with it.
That's a really nice ad. I saved a few myself, from Zayre and Lionel Playworld.
The Star Destroyer was a little hard to play with because there wasn't much room to move the figures around in. It was no Death Star playset. But it was ok. The "meditation chamber" was a nice feature, but not sure why it would glow red. I liked the escape hatch feature. Also, why could you hang figures upside down in it? Was that a deleted scened from "Empire"? I just assumed it was another way Vader tortured people with The Force. Or maybe they got it mixed up with the Wampa scene!?

Osco used that same line art in an ad you posted on March 02, 2016, only it was in black & white and included Yoda.

I like the Star Destroyer playset a lot, but I think most collectors hate it just because it doesn't look that much like a Star Destroyer.
