Wishlist Wednesday-Top 10 playsets I wish I had.

Oh yeah....I am in a playset kind of mood and the only prescription....Is figures and playsets!  I have had a few tragic things happen in my life for sure.  House was vandalized when I was 9 and my stuff was stolen.  I have nothing left from that time.  So here is my Top 10 non Star Wars playsets I want list.
 
1. GI JOE Tactical Battle Platform- This thing was awesome.  I used to play out issue 40 where it makes it's first appearance in the Gi Joe comic. Today if I had it I would probably want to customize it to stand in a swimming pool.
2. Mission to Gamma- This playset I played alot with when I was a kid.  I had NO idea what Star Trek was mind you but would use my Star Wars figures with it.
3.Alien Queen playset- I never had it but always wanted it.  Awesome stuff here!
4. Fortress of Fangs- Awesome huh?  I used to use this as Cobra's fortress...
5. Evel Knevil's Skull Canyon- Yes it is VERY simple but it reeks of nostalgia for me. 
6. Fisher Price Castle- This would be an awesome Castle for an MU Dr. Doom!
7. The TerrorDrome- No playset was better than this one!  It would cost an arm and a leg to get one today though.
 
8. Secret Wars Tower of Doom-  Yeah didn't have it either.  But surely did want it.
9. The Underwater Playset-  I have no idea what the name is but I had one of these as a kid.  It is GREAT!  If someone out there remembers the name leave a comment. 

10. Super Powers Hall of Justice-  I played with this thing for hours.  It was great fun!  I even tried to make other superhero stickers to put around it.

    Great list! I have the Fortress of Fangs sitting in my office right next to the weeble-wobbles haunted house! I also had the Fisher Price castle as a kid and played with it all the time. One of our local antique shops just recently got one in, but the price is a bit steep for me. The only addition I would make to your list would be the Mego Wayne Foundation playset; that thing is awesome!

    LOVED the Mattel Eagle 1 playset (1975..). Never had one as a kid, but with new hi-qual decals and such, it's HUGE AND AWESOME.

    Also, could NEVER AFFORD it today, but that '80s Joe Space Shuttle Defiant/Launch complex or whatever it was. Was never a fan of the '80s Joes (far after my time...), but THAT I would breakdown and buy now just for it's utter awesomeness.

      That Defiant was awesome! That was during my Aliens run. I kept imagining using the Defiant as the Nostromo..

    Kickass! I have that Alien Queen, which is a really great figure. I almost bought that Fisher Price castle a couple months back at a flea market, but didn't... and of course regret it!! I never knew that Underwater Playset existed! But now that I do, I MUST HAVE!!!
