Who makes this modular building ??? Where can I find more ??

Post by General Blasto » Mon Jan 19, 2009 4:30 pm

I got this modular building kit or part of one and I didn't have any instructions on how it goes together :? Most of it seems straight forward, but there are 2 complete 2 floor front sections that I can't figure out how they go on and how they lock - see left and right side of picture. I only have one picture for now(Flags were of my design :) ), yet I will enclose more on a later post. What I can't figure out is how to make a second floor :?: I would like to add more to this building that I will dub as the field headquarters. Where do I find more set(s) or pieces there of ??? Anyone have some they'd like to trade for ??? Is there a roof piece or pieces that go with it ??? Next picture I will post the other pieces I did not use, like the bombed out walls, walls with a door, etc.

Any help would be appreciated 8)
Now here's the pictures I took with Matilda the hun on the front walk.

Thanks,

General,

The toy is made by a company called Eversparkle, and if you can find more of them, let me know because I too would like to expand a bit of what I have. I got mine from friends here years ago, and they're great, but they're impossible to find anywhere else now. Believe me I look.

They were part of a large playset, kind of like a Power Team Elite thing, but cheaper. I got 1 full set and a partial set. Many different walls and things, but I'd love a lot more as they make a great display for Star Wars I've found (modular looking and all).

They were for sale on some store sites and catalogues. The only place I've ever seen them since is Smalljoes.com has some pictured in the background of their SS figure sets.

Again, if you find out where to get more of that stuff, drop me a line. I'd love a lot more of it, honestly.

Yup that was where I got my "set" back in the day but it was different than that in what all it contained. If that had those this year, I'm pissed I didn't get a couple. :( Refviews for it seem to indicate '06 which is about when I got mine I think, but mine is not the same set pictured there. Different parts at least.

Penneys had these in their catalogue at one point too I think.

Small Blue Planet had the building with about 8 of the soldiers for 15.00 plus a boat load of weapons and equipment. These soldiers were skinnier and smaller than PTE soldiers. I am sure Penneys, KB and others had them too.
I sold mine to someone on the board who wanted it for Star Wars figs.
I got mine out and set it up, but just didn't like it compared to the 21st C playsets.
But if you are into building and wanting different looking buildings, this set would be great for it.

Actually they're about the exact same size Razor, I've still got mine here, used a few for fodder as I liked their construction compared to SW figures better. I wouldn't say they're different much at all.

You sold me the set by the way. ;) You sold the building parts at least... I'd gotten a full set online somewhere, and now I don't remember where because I thought it was KB for cheap, but SBP sounds familiar too now. I dunno, but you sold me your building parts, and they've been much appreciated! The building makes a cool alien looking street.

I don't think I'd use them for military stuff though. They are very toyish and look modular really, so they fit for sci-fi but not realistic "earthy" stuff. :?
