1974: Mego got the heck out of Dodge

I'm not sure when Gabriel released Carson City, but the designs are similar.
Although, it's also possible Gabriel "borrowed" from the POTA Village.






In Europe, Marx/Sio released a series of incredible wooden playsets for the Lone Ranger line, including a massive Dodge City.

Even the non-western lovin' kid I was in the 70's would have loved that Marx playset. The adult me thinks its amazing!

That Marx set is cool. I like the Mego design because it doesn't have people "stuck" into it like the Carson City one. I could see myself back then using the Dodge City one in lots of Trek and WGSH time travel stories. I doesn't look like ti has a gimmick, though, needed a trap door or something.
