    Sorry to hear this is done. FTC should totally hire you to make/design new playsets. your work on these has been brilliant.

      I completely respect that you are closing shop. I've always admired these. They look so professional, so fun, and so appropriate to the toys for which they were designed. Looks like a lot of love went into them. You should walk away feeling proud of what you were able to accomplish. Well done!

        Awwww...

        That's really ashame, Scott. I really love my Batcave, my POTA tri-box, my Superfriends tri-box, my carrying case and the tri-fold walls I have yet to make something with I remember seeing a lot of these on display at your house, and pounding my fingers helping you assemble the first playsets in my backyard. It's been a groovy run. I hope you continue to make your artwork available to us. Thanks for bringing the fun back into our collections. Your Dida would be proud.

              Scott.....this saddens me. I was too damn cheap in the past and my regrets of not buying the Legion Of Doom and POTA sets will haunt me.

                Same here. I came very close to ordering a Dida several times, but something always came up that said "You really shouldn't do that right now.". I know they would have been well worth it.

                  They were expensive, no doubt. It's kind of miraculous I sold off all the stock--twice--but they had a good following.

                  The other part of it was the investment of space. Not everyone can commit to that kind of real estate. Always the problem with play sets.

                    I want to echo the sentiment of many others here. Your playsets made my eyes bug out and brought many smiles to my face. I too, must live with the regret of not ordering the Enterprise, Apes, L.O.D. , and Superfriends playsets. Enjoy your semi retirement Scott. I hope FTC comes a calling!
                    I post in thy general direction!

                      Chalk me up to another fan who really really really enjoyed the craftsmanship and work...but couldn't afford them. I watched the Youtube Dida construction videos. I'd have bought them all if I could.

                          I am in mourning.

                          I owe these creations all to you Scott...

                          I went to my mother's house for Christmas this year; the house I grew up in. I found a box of old Betamax video cassettes and an old player in her attic. I hooked it up to her TV and spent the day viewing old TV shows and commercials from my youth. To my wonder I found this old commercial on one of those old videotapes:

                          Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

                          Peace, Love, and Dida!

                            If I won the lottery, my 1st stop was always meant to be DIDA! I wanted at the VERY least; the FULL Sized ENTERPRISE with Transporter room. The full Wayne Manor (STATELY CAVERNS). The LOD. ANY DC related creation & if I ever found a good deal on the EMCE Soldier Apes, Cornelius & Dr. Zaius + Mego Astronaut, Alan Verdon, Peter Burke, General Urko & Ursus & Galen (I only have EMCE Zira).....I would have bought the POTA stuff too! Oh well, I can hope FTC actually does well w/ the BATCAVE & produces more stuff, but the DIDA displays were a work of ART & RETRO BEAUTY!

                              I drooled over the LOD playset many a time, but pretty much like you said could never figure out the space for it.
