Playsets!
I designed this for my daughter's JSA/JLA type heroes. It is a satellite/hall of justice watchtower combined with a Big Jim airplane she uses as a makeshift Javelin...
This is her whole base when she puts it together on the floor...
That's a pretty sweet set-up! Looks like hours of fun playtime
I never had a playset, either. We never got many sets or vehicles, just action figures. I don't really remember seeing the sets around when I was a kid, anyway.
I had the following playsets for my Megos: Action Jackson's Lost Continent, Planet of the Apes Fortress, Planet of the Apes Treehouse and Star Trek Enterprise bridge.
The Enterprise bridge was used for everything: POTA Astronaut, Verdon, and Burke, and as a headquarters for the JLA, Fantastic Four, and the Avengers.

I used to build Lego buildings and space stations, and also made a bunch of dirt/rock caves and huts. Oh yeah, and Connect-A-Straws were pretty amazing for making structures.
It's kinda amazing just how many of us never owned a playset, or at best had just one. Why was that, exactly? Was it because of the cost, or was it due to difficulty finding them in stores, etc.? I think in my case, alot of it had to do with lack of availability. I never recall seeing the Hall Of Justice or Batcave in the stores near me, much less the Wayne Foundation. The main reason I got the Enterprise and the Hulk Hideaway was because they were available in the Sears Xmas catalog in the late '70s.
I had the Enterprise playset but I don't recall if I used it to play with all of my Megos or just the Trek figures. Later I had the Hulk Hideaway playset and that got some fair use for my WGSH. Those were the only Mego playsets that I had that I remember. The only playsets I really coveted were the Wayne Foundation, and a cool stage for my KISS figures!
