[quote=Anonymous]If you purchase a set that is as high off the group as the Monster or King Kong I would invest in deep mulch. I'm actually surprised that all the pictures of the big ones are just on grass. There is risk on all sets without mulch but most of the sets that I've seen are much lower. These are bigger than they appear in the picture not smaller!

We've been to the showroom and I can understand why the OP is considering this. When DC #1 was 18 months, we went out to a showroom and he ended up designing a 12K set. He kept adding on things,then needing a bigger base, then deciding that since he was spending so much that he should get the level up set so the children would use when they are older etc etc. Luckily, he researches more than he executes. We were also lucky that Costco later that year sold a set for about 2K. DH would buy gold plated shit from Costco.

While I'm sure that my kids would have enjoyed the mega set they have fun on the normal one. As they get older we've also found lots of other fun outdoor stuff. Stomp rockets, lots of sports gear (soccer net, balls, grass hockey, tennis), water balloons, a garden, a climbing dome and we have a EZ fort set where I let them take old sheets outside and build forts. A picnic table and some tables that can get messy are great. I let them do messy art projects outside. After a big storm, they collect all the branches and build forts.
