I always forget about that Geonosis Arena; always been super pricey, but would love to use it as a Planet Hulk Gladiator arena.

Another homemade playset:







Small box painted, minor cuts and some bendy wire for the grate fence.

That is pretty funny.
Conquest of Cobra Mountain - 2003


They also used the Endor bunker for a convention set one year.

Isla Cruces

Isla Cruces is a great playset. I picked one up a while back to be an abandoned building outside my castle structure.

Here is a bad picture of it right before I put it into storage before moving. I just started the slow process of un-packing my toys so I should have some updated pictures of it soonish.

I use both the Isla Cruces and Singapore Battle sets on my "water" level. The Isla serves as a GI Joe base, I took the big wheel out and made several modes on it adding screens, tables, guns, spotlights etc.. Even added a Playmobil dock in the front for the boats.

The Singapore set is used for Cobra, also made a few mods on it but nothing big, tower gun, fences etc...

I recently moved and have slowly been unpacking all my toys. I love opening bins and boxes to rediscover all my treasures. I sometimes forget exactly what was boxed up, so it's a bit of a surprise. Love it.

Nice! I used Isla Cruces as a Dreadnoks hangout.

Really excited about this one.


I pre-ordered 2 to see if they connect okay.

I got some clear bins to replace the old ones I couldn't see what was in them. Here is my storage unit I have at the moment. I've been cleaning it out little by little...
I've moved out the Star Wars stuff to my house so far. This is mostly my non-Star Wars stuff I am sorting though and logging.

There is also some good 3rd party options for Star Wars diorama pieces.

Hole in the Ground productions has some great kits that just need some paint.

This screams Black Panther and Wakanda to me! That's perfect!
It occurred to me that the Thundercats playsets might work well for Wakanda too.

Finally got my Schleich Castle out to take a few pictures with.
I think I'm going to need a bigger table...

Any one check out the jurrasic world tyrannosaurus escape set? Looks like it could be a good prison world or some such thing.

I haven't found myself in need of a prison quite yet but I would probably pass on that one because it is for the 2.5" minifigures and I am generally not a fan of those. In this instance I would probably get a Chap Mei playset similar, the old Jurassic Park playsets, or a Wrestling cage.

I'll add some comparison pictures in a little bit...


While looking for new playsets I came across some cool Skylanders floating Islands that looked pretty cool. Not sure the scale on these though.

Some more crazy Skylanders playsets. This one is supposed to be 21" tall.

I'm always on the lookout for good storefronts.
I saw this online but haven't had a chance to see how well it scales.

I also found similar set but it's a hardware store.

Dammit I don't like that Gotham show at all but I really would like that Arkham Asylum gate for my DCC Arkham series figures.
