To All,


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

That's the ugliest Pirates set ever? I thought it was
Forbidden Island. Sure, its a classic, but it
seems poorly designed.
Stairs leading into the ocean????

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

Witch's Magic Manor
Fire Chief
Wind Runners (6572 perhaps?)
Alpha Team Bomb Squad
Droid Escape

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 (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.general)
