To All,


(Dropped Pirates, as there are many themes, general seems to
fit better)

That's a pretty bad one. This is a heavily depends on your
opinions of sets as well.

They are not very good, but there are other stinkers that I
think are worse:

The entire line of the Time Cruisers

Insectoids

Racers:

The entire line of Town Junior:

The Town Junior Aspect of trains now, here is one of the
worst:

I am sure I can list a few individual sets, but overall, in
the last few years, the worst seems to be commonplace.

Just to expand this thread fully I'd like to give my nomination for ugliest Technic set ever, the 8277 Giant Model Set. (URL) probably even remembers it, I bought it for all it's beams. Steve (26 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.general)
