of all people to leave out, Roadblock... they did Law and Order, but not Raodblock... crazy.

That said, Playsets are cool but from where I stand, they're rather dangerous -

I think a huge part of child development is imaginative play - not holding to rules, but just letting your imagination dictate what kind of fun you have. I think playsets can be rather detrimental to that, because they remove a certain aspect of creative thought and that's not always good.

I myself never had any action figure playsets, just vehicles. I found creative ways to imagine settings for my heroes and create my own worlds with what I had. I had a hanger for my X-Wing that was a fruit display box from a grocery store turned upside down. I used tin foil and markers to detail it and make it all scifi ish. I think parents need to encourage more of that kind of behavior.

That said, as an adult collector now, I see playsets as a blessing of sorts. I love creating my own stuff still, but I don't always have time. Using bits and pieaces of various different kinds of playsets, I've cobbled together a city street with dirty alleys, loading docks, streetlamps, the works. I don't think I would have been able to think outside the box like that so much if I hadn't had to think so much WITH boxes, ya know?
