Say hello to the ground minifigures
I can't really say much about this set but i have to say that is is good for building.
Pros
- loads of room
Cons
- My one doesn't let minifigures stick well
I have 3 of these set, one for a home built road and two for a park.

baseplate
This set is very useful because you can build anything you want. You can also take sets that you buy and put them the baseplate to keep them from falling down on the rug or any other place and the price isn't that high plus it's worth it. So as you see this is a great set and it's perfect for making stop motion videos. So now maybe you are going to go out and buy yourself this set. If I were you I would buy it. so remember about all this set next time you go to the toystore. And also this baseplate is breakable, but only if you bend it. Don't worry because it rarely happens. THANKS FOR READING!

Everyone needs base plates.
What I usually do is use painters tape on the back to connect about 9 plates (one blue) to set up my large castle on. Then I build, and peg down the sets on the plates, using some as grass, and other areas as forest floor.
I probably need another 3 plates as there are now more Harry Potter sets to fit into the castle.

Base Plates, Everyone Needs Them
Set #626 Bulding Plate, Green: My brother and I wanted another Base Plate to use in our building, so we convinced our parents to spend the money on this item. Back in the 90's this piece was quite well priced... I look at the base plates/building plates prices these days and wonder why I'd waste that kind of money on them when I could just pick up a small set or Battle Pack from SW for that price instead.
What can I say about a Building Plate in a review? It's great for any type of MOCing, mine has unfortunately seen better days, its covered in grime and sticky mess from spilled soda pops, dust and other things, and some sections of the plate no longer want to hold onto the bricks when you put them down. I think replacing it with a newer one might not be such a bad idea, but it'll have to wait for when I get some spare cash that I can throw into such a purchase... Or TRU holds a 50% off Building Plates sale, which probably won't ever happen. SIGH.
You can have endless hours of fun with one of these and a bucket full of bricks. (And as soon as I remember which bucket of bricks we also bought at the time I'll review that one too.) If you're looking for something to build floors with for forests or fields or even just a grassy area surrounding your building, you can't go wrong with the Green Building Plate. That's why this gets a five brick rating for parts, alone it is of course useless, but combined with all your LEGO pieces the parts are endless, the builds are endless, the playability is endless, but I gave it a three because after all you're only buying the plate not the pieces to go with it so honestly you can't do much with it without the other pieces from LEGO sets/collections.
Pick one up. Pick two up if they're cheap. Anybody know some tricks to restoring these things to pristine looking order without damaging them? I fear if I try and wash it clean then mine will suffer even worse than it does now.
