    I never had a playset but I would have chosen a treehouse if I could have.

    I was fortunate enough to have had a couple of playsets as a kid. Many thanks to my kind and wonderful parents for that. I had the Apes Treehouse, Apes Fortress and the Star Trek Enterprise. It seems that I can recall playing with them all pretty much equally. It is tough for me just to pick out one as my favorite.

    The only Mego playset I ever owned was the Star Trek bridge.

    I did have a few Big Jim, Johnny West and Joe AT playsets though.

    I had the batmobile and jokermobile and a red, white and blue empire jeep. But other than that, I never had a playset as a kid. I now have the batcave and the enterprise but as a kid, I used my imagination. The stairs were a very nice playset as well as the backyard and any sandbox or hillside I could find. Camping lakes were great as we did quite a bit of camping. Bicycles were pretty cool to drag the Megos and Evil Kneivels from or place somwhere on the bicke to ride along, as well as local small cliffs that we would toss them over and then later retrieve.

    I might add that I'm glad there were several collectors of these so former kids like myself who destroyed the ones they had could recoup them in their later years. I loved beating the heck out of those little men.

    I guess I did have a playset. It was my own environment. My Alan Virdon and Fonzie are the only original survivors from my childhood (along with my brother's original beat up cowl). I did have beat Flash Gordon and a nakid Robbie Knievel which I traded off for superheros and later replaced with minty versions of each. But the Virdon was my favorite and has several scars on his face showing that he was one loved action figure. (oh, the batmobile survived too but was scratched up with slightly bent axles so I bought a boxed example and sold my old one. My wife asked me if I had any sentiments about it, not really but that Virdon fig is still a cornerstone of the collection even though I'm a huge RCB and friends fan.

    Hall of Justice was where my Megos hung out.

    I had a room in my basement where I kept all my playsets set up... The GI Joe AT headquarters, the mego Hall of Justice, mego Treehouse, Mego Forbidden zone and the big jim airplane thing (which the name escapes me right now). So many happy memories... I guess thats why I have a -on for playsets!

    That was a Big Jim Sky Commander!

    as for what I had as a child, I would go for broke and hit up the clearance section of childrens palace and grab up super cheap playsets....don't know why, i seemed to like the bases more than the figures in most cases.

    The funnest one oddly enough was the Bionic Six playset. worked well with most lines, even when you forced 8" scale figures into it you could make it work.
    I love the Bionic six playset. I bought one at the Sears Surplus store on Dort Hwy right before it went under.

    I never had a Mego playset either. And I only had one vehicle, the Batcopter. I had a pretty good imagination though, so I managed to find plenty of places that were good play locations. I didn't need a playset, the world was my playset.

    As I've posted before, I made my Megos boxers....I often used the LJN WWF ring as well. I draped my empty Star Wars pillowcase over the apron and called it "STAR WARS COLLESIUM".

    As a kid i had the batcave [my fav] the ape treehouse and the start trek bridge, The ape treehouse doubled as the Riddler's hang out, But the best playset was the huge bookcase in the liveing room which i ussed with the star trek bridge making the whole star ship, I also used the bookcase to extend the batcave giveong Batman a trophy room, place to work on the batmobile , a jail area to lock up the Penguin and Riddler the only two superfoes i had along with AJ who was a henchmen for the foes

    I had both the Star Trek playset and the Hall of Justice, but probably played with the Trek set more.
