these playsets back in the day were great like the masters of the universe open up castles and mountains and the ghostbusters firehouse they were cool personally I had when I was a kid the fire house and got eventually one of the masters of the universe mountains at a garage sale...now to be honest I really don't think these large playsets would work today, one big problem is that the prices would be far too high as in the millennium falcon which is 170 before taxes
and in this economy no ones willing to buy something like that for there kids, plus at this point what would you do with them after the initial wow factor fades away they just go into the garage or attic to collect dust their...now I'm a collector but at this point Im very selective of what I buy gotta take into consideration money, and space to display.

I really think the era of the super sized playsets is pretty much over yes we got the gi joe and some new limited production star wars ships but their not gonna be ought in mass like back in the day, the price is too high for allot of people and in many cases you an get the same vehicles in smaller scales for a fraction of the cost. even figures are being scaled down to maximize purchases like the marvel universe, dc universe figures and even the iron man 2 figures have a 3.5 scale figure line...I think eventually many reduced size playsets will fallow this trend in place of the large scale sets.
