My brother and i got the gi Joe aircraft carrier for Christmas one year. I was in the 6th grade and didn't care if I was supposed to be too old for playsets. My friends laughed when I told em I wanted it for Christmas, none of them were laughing when they finally seen it though.

I used to use my blanket like a volcano playset. I would lay the blanket out on my rec room floor, lie down on one end, and roll myself up. Then, I would carefully stand up, and, once standing, slowly lower the blanket to the floor, from the top down. If done right, a perfect volcano playset. Hindsight being 20/20, I should have made one out of wire mesh and plaster. The number of times I made a blanket volcano are uncountable. The cardboard Cobra missile base just didn't cut it on it's own. Blankets, dressers, and beds, with a little string (and my dad's staple gun - I got in so much trouble for that) and some imagination, make some awesome forts, playsets, and command centers! Good times!

It was billed as “3 playsets in 1!” You had Batman and green lantern chilling out in the computer room, you could have robin take the elevator up to the landing pad (where the batcopter or super mobile could park) and the pad had a ramp to a..... TRAP DOOR!! That’s right friend - a trap door into a Large jail cell. It was cool and to top it off- It was also a collectors case!!!

My personal choice for number one is the Flagg with the Cobra Terrordrome coming in at number two and Greyskull at three. Though I had both Greyskull and Snake Mountain as a kid, Joe was and always will be my favorite line. Glad to see that the Fortress of Fangs made your list also. I haven't heard a lot of collectors talk about it, but it really is one of the greatest all time playsets.

I had you're Top 3 in a different order: 1.USS Flagg 2.Castle Grayskull 3.Death Star Space Station. I remember getting the Death Star Space Station for Christmas '79 and my father helping me put the stickers on it. My favorite and most cherished memory was from Christmas 1982 and being absolutely elated when I unwrapped the Castle Grayskull playset. I don't think I played with another toy more frequently than that one. I always wanted the USS Flagg, but it was very expensive and my parents couldn't afford it...kind of bummed me out at the time. Btw, another honorable mention that I enjoyed quite a bit was the WWF Sling 'em, Fling 'em Wrestling Ring from LJN...I had several of the WWF Superstars to go with them back in 1985.

The only 'playset' I had was when we had a new hi-fi system, (one of those huge bulky things with the record player on the top and the big knobs all along the front), I used the bottom piece of the very firm polystyrene packaging that sandwiched the system as a Hoth-type environment for my Star Wars figures! It basically came with ready-formed compartments and crevices that just needed adorning with buttons and lights, care of my felt tips and some odds n' ends! And when the top piece was put in place, it had these long rectangular 'windows' at each side which allowed me to look inside with glee at my positioned figures!

I got the black Stealth Fighter with the night wing mini flyer for Christmas from G.I.Joe and finally got the Aircraft Carrier for my birthday and we had to set it up in the garage which made it difficult for my parents to handle all of us neighborhood kids playing in our garage and front lawn. My parents regretted the Aircraft Carrier the moment we put it together and it still kept growing!! Lol. Great times.

Castle Grayskull's look was just so iconic it's almost impossible to beat. When you think about it, however, it is not up there with several others in terms of play features. But it's the sculpt of the thing, plus the mystery from the cartoon of what all was inside. In my opinion when they redid the Castle from Matty Collector awhile back they missed an opportunity. There should have been fold out walls, hidden interior walls, some type of light up holographic ghostly feature. All of this could have been done for under $300 and I think MANY more would have sold and Mattel would have made even more money. As is, the old one still beats the 2000X in terms of look on the outside. The 2000X one has some cool features inside. The Matty one is the top dog these days, but it's really not what it should have been, and it should have been a toy, a play toy, not just a collector piece but a collector's piece to get in the floor and play with your grandkids (cause let's face it, most of our kids are already out of the "toy phase").

Great list. The top three should have tied for number one, lol. Born in '71, my earliest memory of a received action figure toy is the Fisher Price Adventure People Sea Explorer. This started my 1:18 addiction, I do not know what my parents were thinking. It then went to Star Wars (and this started my 1:6 addiction) then GI Joe ARAH. Saying all of that, any toy line, after 1982, that did not come in 1:18 scale, and have at least five POA, was an immediate no sell! My unicorn is not the USS Flag, but the Defiant Shuttle Launch Complex. I had every SW toy up until 1982/1983 and every GI Joe toy from 1982 to 1986, except the USS Flagg. It just never interested me (I even served in the US Navy).

The really clever thing about Castle Grayskull was that it was priced somewhat lower than other playsets of its time, at just $30 (about $60 today). This had to have been a loss leader, but it means that thousands have survived to this day. While MiSB examples go for the astronomical prices you might expect, there are plenty of used examples going for very reasonable prices. Most have lost their cardstock accessories, but Toy Polloi has replacements for those and the stickers on his website for free. So, for not much money at all and a little elbow grease, Castle Grayskull is well within reach of even collectors on a budget today. Amusingly, the 2000s re-issue seems to be far pricier on the secondary market, probably because it was overly expensive and hard to find when it came out.

That would have been awesome to be able to play with the Flagg in daycare. A friend of mine had the Flagg when I was around 14yrs old, but I only ever saw it once and didn't get to play with it as it was set-up on his family's dining room table.

I absolutely LOVED M.A.S.K.! The vehicles were so cool! It was Transformers combined with GI Joe. I got Boulder Hill for Christmas one year! That boulder would rarely sit still. It habitually rolled off!

I had 8 and 10 when I was a kid. The fire hall turned into a gi Joe command center for me. I had the technodrome and the turtles sewer play set too. Very cool

The Action Force Headquarters and Command Centre are the tops of my list. It took me 30 years to get the CC, coveted since I read Battle as a kid. The day I completed my boxed CC was like the greatest 80's Christmas ever. HM(NZ)S Flagg.... one day. After all, you need to park Skystrikers somewhere.

I was fortunate to have the Ghostbusters firehouse and the Ninja Turtles Sewer as a kid and they were the greatest toys I ever had...because they set the stage where all the stories I created began. I still have the firehouse in pretty good condition.

The technodrome would have been high on my list, especially since it was one I actually had as a kid. Plus, not only is it a really fun villain lair playset, but it pulls double duty as a vehicle.

Yeah, kids these days doesn't even know how to appreciate toys, some of them doesn't even play with these unlike in our old days that we even take good care of these not to be damaged when playing...all the kids usually do now is playing from their tablets or smartphones, thus, losing the process of personal interaction and make their imagination more active.

Hmm, Grayskull over The Flagg? I might have. Switched places with those two. I’m not sure I agree with your video, but it was very interesting. Glad to see Boulder Hill get some love. And the Bridge of the enterprise Mego play set, was one of my faves personally :)

Even back then the Flagg was almost unattainable to most kids. Not just for the size. Our neighbor had it but his dad was a PAC 10 coach at the time. Castle Grayskull was affordable and portable. This gave playability, portable and just bad ars over all.

Great video sir! Really enjoyed it and I learned some new stuff! For me the USS Flagg would be No.1 and I would include Thinder Mountian and the techno drone (but this is just my personal taste). Please do a top ten GI Joe playsets!!

He stated in the beginning there would only be one entry per toy line. Otherwise, a MOTU fan could have included two playsets, Star Wars, two or three, GI Joe, over a dozen. Fair is Fair
