displaysets we could use ASAP ...

[60'schild]

Display/play sets that need to be made:

(apart from the still-in-progress Legion of Doom HQ, Joker's Ha-Hacienda and Shazam: The Rock of Eternity)

* X-Men Danger Room
* Aquaman's (or Namor's if you're "Marvelly inclined") Undersea Throne room
* Baxter Building (a version with lots of floorspace, this time!)
* Avengers Mansion (could also be used for Mutant School) with lab
* Dr. Doom's throne room in Latveria (with Doombots!)

and some nice generic ones like:

* star and planet background (for figures who fly). Pins/wires to suspend figures from
* urban cityscape (for the ground dwelling gritty types) could be modular too for team vs. team battle displays

See all the great moneymaking opportunities for those of you who are artistically inclined (I'm not! )

I'm sure that are others I have missed... (and that doesn't even touch on anything else in the Trek line!)

Anybody else?

I'd rather own a Guy Gardner Green Lantern Warrior's Bar / Showroom Playset.

Unless your Iron Man happened to wander in ... and it quickly could become an episode of Twisted Mego Theatre (now Twisted Toyfare Theatre)

Display/play sets that need to be made:

(apart from the still-in-progress....Joker's Ha-Hacienda and Shazam: The Rock of Eternity)

* Aquaman's (or Namor's if you're "Marvelly inclined") Undersea Throne room

Actually all 3 of those have been done and aren't WIPs...the Shazam and Aquaman playsets shown below were never put into Dida sleeves but they're designed to fit :

Joker's Ha-Hacienda
Shazam's Rock of Eternity
Aquaman's Aquacave

Sorry... just going by your website which only lists the dida ones...

and STILL lists Joker and Shazam as "COMING SOON".

http://www.geocities.com/thetoyroom/-MegoPlaysets.html

So WHAT is the status on these? The aquaman (which isn't listed on the url) and the other two...

Can they be ordered?? (The Joker and the Shazam do NOT have pre-order buttons ... which is why I only ordered the Fortress.. Can someone order an Aquaman set NOW already added to the Dida parts??

[The Toyroom]

They're all available for order....the "COMING SOON" just means I was too lazy at the time to put up links on the site and forgot about it.

The Aquaman can be Dida-sized as is (meaning, just the 3 walls, as a backdrop) OR it can be expanded into a carry case with roof,floor and door, depending on someone's preference.

The same for the Shazam....it's designed as a 3 wall backdrop with a separate housing for the "Magic Lightning Chamber" (a Trek transporter). It can be Dida-sized as a complete carry case with add-on Chamber.

The Ha-Hacienda is a 3-story Dida that stacks on top of each other....no doors or carry case features. I could come up with something if the interest was there for that but it'd up the price most definitely.

Planet of the apes play sets!

Anthony, are you doing the Dida displaysets now?

[The Toyroom]

^ Steve, I've been doing my own thing for awhile using the Dida vinyl pieces that Scott sells.....The "official" Dida Displaysets are still available from Scott.

[megoscott]

Anthony has done a great job adapting his design to Dida parts. I wish other artists would try it out, it's a blast to see what other create with them.

As for your list...

Baxter Building. : )

Yeah, but like I suggested, THAT Baxter building has tiny floorspace on each level... we need a Batcave size baxter building... lots of room for Reed's lab etc...

And how's the Legion of Doom HQ progressing (nudge, nudge)

[megoscott]

LOD is very close, actually. Soon.

Honestly, a Baxter the size of the Stately caverns is more than anyone would want. I just don't see it. People have big ideas about these, but given the expense and time involved...

Still, it could be done by expanding that artwork. It's really just adding 3 more inches to the center panels.

An Avengers Mansion wouldn't be a huge leap either. I'd adapt the mansion art from my Stately set and do a variation on the metallic headquarters art.

[60'schild]

Excellent .... excellent!!!!

(See, you have to know how to talk to these creative types ... leave a trail of possible projects for them to follow .... like breadcrumbs)

Seriously, looking forward to seeing the playset market expand... and expand ....

[bobws]

i want the New Teen Titans ... Tower playset. but i don't know how they'd put the circular stairs in the middle of it. any takers on this challenge?

[Tothiro]

I wish other artists would try it out, it's a blast to see what other create with them.

I'm on a Star Wars tear again right now...
What are the working dimensions (for the units and for the insert panels) in all variations Scott? I need to mock up a SW Creature Cantina with Mos Eisley street scenes on the outside... What's preferred for interior furniture? Graphic Laminated MDF or thick plastic card? Do you have tech specs for the fold-out carry-case style? Because the Cantina might go either way.

And later you know... (cause I don't have the funds right now) I might really like to do a multi level Death Star. I imagine from bottom to top it could be Compactor level, Detention level, Rope Swing, Shield Cut-off Control Gantry and then either Final Obi/Darth Duel/Falcon Landing Bay graphic or ROTJ Emperor's Throne Room on top. Can they Dida displays be put together with empty floor sections or floor cut-outs (for a double level drop and overhead gantry for the rope swing)?

A single level Sarlaac Battle with prisoner gantry coming out of a skiff graphic (and maybe even a single depth shelf with railing to act as skiff outer wall for figures to display on) on the back wall and a sarlaac in the center would be cool - could have the back end of a skiff popping out of one side wall to jump across to.

I could see a Bespin too, with a Han/Carbonite change station. Or perhaps a Jabba Throne Room with a trap floor to the bottom Rancor dungeon level.

Jawa Sandcrawler desert exterior.

Sweet Jesus any of those could be cool.

You know later I'll be obsessed with the idea of BSG, Buck Rogers, and Hellboy ruined Church dioramas, but right now it's this. Once I pick up the CTVT Space 1999 figures I'm sure I'll be thinking about how to do a control room for them. Maybe a Woman's Day / Redbook craft ideas cheesy 70's generic Star Raiders style SPACE PORT too.

Oohh... Indiana Jones Well of Souls.

What are the structural options for doorways in the set walls? Just thinking ST City on the Edge of Forever or something.

All of this is why I just said "Creature Cantina." By contrast it's almost reasonable.
