We may have never received the Baxter Building just because of its size, but we may have received Parker's Apartment and even the Daily Bugle (which could have doubled for the Daily Planet, thanks to Mattel).

It's why i brought it up, as Hasbro had recently resurrected their cardboard playsets with the Solo Vandor-1 & re-issuing the Cobra Missle Command.

Oh, gee, I wonder why?

There is at least one company doing a modular playset that can be as big or as small as you want it to be. I think this may be the future of playsets. A generic skyscraper cardboard playset would be great, it could become whatever building you want it to be: Baxter bldg., Four Freedoms Plaza, Daily Bugle, Fisk tower, Daily Planet, Lexcorp Tower. Get more than one and have a downtown street for Spiderman to swing down, and as cardboard playsets, if they are designed right, you can fold them up and put them away to save space.

i agree. Independent companies that produce the various modular playsets are a great addition as well as being a popular avenue for future playsets.

While other companies continue to produce scaled buildings like Lanard's The Corps Rock playset or World Peacekeeper's Quonset and new Gate House.

Even smaller accessories & sets like Mattel's recent Jurassic World Lava Surge set, Playmate's previous 3.75" Star Trek movie bridge set, McFarlane's previous Monster series would be a welcomed approach. And as mentioned by fans here, either have the sets come together to make a larger set (helicarrier, sanctorum, baxter, etc..) or as a independent dio (banner's lab, stark's armory, Odin's throne room, etc..) or to even incorporate (small accessories like AIM lab equipment, SHIELD cargo containers, HYDRA rifle-rack, etc..) onto larger platform sets by the other companies.

MU vehicles and playsets have major potential in addition to being an accessible action figure collection.
