You're simply not going to see a playset anymore unless it's a really iconic location for the character, and even then it's not likely. A batcave in this day and age, for instance.

I don't think you understood the point of the post, or the question asked.
I'm not asking why they're not as prominant as they used to be.
Just asking everyone's personal opinion if they feel they're important or not (Either when they were kids, or now. Their choice)
