    Okay , another playset I recall.

    Okay, you guys did great for me on the Apes MPC set, here is another I had.
    I am positive i got this in 1975 becasue it was brought for me to play with at grandmas while my parents moves us to the second house we lived in.
    It was a dinsouar playset and it came with 2 brown mountains that had sort of little ponds molded down in front ( that sticks out because grandma put some water and a litlle blue food coloring in them for me !!)
    It had a crazy amount of Dinos done in realistic but one color molds. I swear there must have been about 75 of them. They were all done in a pretty good scale too one another too, even had a few babies. I also recall some of them were done in attacking poses, and there even a few in flight Teros and a couple that would sit on perches on the mountains. I dont recall a playmat or any trees and there were no cavemen either. Ive seen some Marx dinos that are the same ones but I cant find any info on the web. It came in a fairly good sized box too, I remember struggle to grip it good on the way out of the store. I played with that thing for months, probaly my fave toy till star wars hit. I can recall doing green army men vs. dinos all the time.
    thanks in advance,

    This probably isn't it but somewhere I have more scans of this type of play set.

      You rock Palitoy. Bottom right is very similar.
      I am positive it was marx from examing pictures of Marx Dinos. I also found a vacuuform mountain that is real similar to the one i had, mine werent painte tho.
      I had that Navaronne set.
      The dinos werent as bright as those ,
      There were no trees either.
      I am starting to think it was some well done knockoff.
      The thing is with it seems to me its hard to find pictures of playsets on the web, is there a site out there for them Im missing some how, seems there would be.
      Thanks man, your very helpfull!!

          You wouldn't think they would be expensive based on the type of toy they are (little army men basically) but I've sen some crazy prices on these and then add on the shipping they are asking!! It must be pretty big to account for the listed shipping costs I've seen?

            Yeah it was quite a large toy. I remember the box was very tall and oblong. That tower had to be over a foot tall. Ive seen what they go for .
            There was a reissue a few years back , same tower, the yellow parts were black, and different troops and tanks. Ive seen pieces of the Navaronne set selling for next to nothing, the Marx troops are pretty common and cheap. Buy the reissue tower and then buy loose pieces and make one !! I kinda have that plan.
            Boy it was a fun playset too,
            ANy one ever have that Godzilla playset? That thing rocked. It had I beleive Ghidra for Zilla to fight, some paper skyscrapers and bridge, and soldiers and what not. Wish I had that one too, hell this makes me think of a great topic,take a look above.

                Thats it !! I want one too !!! Are they exspensive?
                Looking at the box tho mine had different stuff. Mine didnt have that ambulance vehicle, Im pretty sure mine had all military type tanks and jeeps. I remember that ship tho, I had another playset with those ships, some of them actually fired.

                  Man I wish I had known about that Mars and Godzilla playset back then. At least one of them would definitely been on a gift wish list for me.
                  It's all good!

                    I actually got that Godzilla set with money I earned doing chores at a local Skycity store (anyone remember those places?).
                    That Mars set was cool wasnt it? I had a Marx Space playset. I had another too that had these "pod" type of buildings with it that you could stack together. It had astronauts and rockets, maybe one or 2 vehicles. Im not sure who made it, may have been TootsieToy. I had alot of their plastic stuff.
