    Possibly neglected to add those to the PDF. Let me check. I can add those as a freebie.

        Just a thought on construction. The vinyl sticker makers may have better input. To print these directly on sheets of sticker vinyl sheets. Just saying that the sticker vinyl usually maintains a great vibrant color.

          Is the small triangle transporter room ( floor, cealing, 2 walls ) included in the Trek file?

          Thanks!

            The small triangular one is not, no. I switched to doing them square or as a full display, and that artwork is in there.

                And as a bonus it will show just how much work really goes into making a quality playset for people who complain about the prices.

                    The deluxe custom playsets were several hundred dollars. I think at the end of the run I was charging $600 for a Batman set, $350 or so for Star Trek. Just because of all the labor involved. They were designed to be something you could do as a custom but hardly anybody ever did that. If you simply bought the vinyl parts and made them yourself they were $25-50 and up depending on what pieces you wanted.

                    "Dida" was my nickname for my grandfather who bought me my first Megos. Similar to Mego that people mispronounce Meh-go instead of MeeGoh it's Dee-Dah, not Die-Dah.

                          Thank you for the information, Robyn. That's very sweet about your grandfather.

                            Excellent job on all of the backgrounds! I just saw the POTA background and I love 'em!
                            Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.

                              The Lair, Hall of Justice, Castle and Monster backgrounds look amazing!

                              I'm curious, how many backgrounds will be posted in total? I'm going to have to do some saving up to get all of these!

                              EDIT: I didn't even realize there were addition pieces in some of the sub-menus! Oh please let there be a Legion of Doom set too!

                                Just made a little report on Robyn's Dida scans over on the Ambassadors page. With any luck she's be overwhelmed by orders in the coming days!
