Pic related for me, the “Coast Watch HQ” - it took some googling to find that name and photo, lol, it’s set 7047 for the curious. Awesome little set with a cool baseplate, the helicopter (which is a really great simple build, I remember it well), the speedboat, the control tower with a radar dish and screens and stuff inside. Some nice pieces in there too although I mostly kept the set together and just added things onto it. It ended up being “the base” for my guys for years, whatever those guys were at any given time. Good memories.
I noticed a lot of people chose a playset or a base as their “defining” childhood set, there’s something kind of wholesome in that imo. I feel like Lego had a shortage of good playsets for a while, at least until recently, but maybe I just got older and didn’t care.
