I really liked this set.  It's one of the few times I felt a CRAPP worked out
well - perhaps it was because it was used in conjunction with a normal plate.

The 6277 was my first exposure to a raised baseplate and I was disappointed.
They are too thin and cheap looking. I was afraid I was going to poke a hole
in it if I pressed the bricks down too hard.

They're actually very sturdy.  I had a ceiling fall on one, and it just got
slightly bent.  No major damage.  :)

Poor ceiling fan. I've seen a few situations where two objects had an
altercation, and the one you would expect to be more fragile won. In one
situation, a friend was organizing her kitchen, and a can of vegetables
fell out of an overhead cabinet and landed on a glass which was in the
dish drainer. The can was dented. The glass was fine. Another time,
while at a restaurant, a friend had slipped a plastic straw over the end
of a fork tine and was wiggling it back and forth, the fork bent.

For the humor and English syntax impaired, I realize the baseplate is
what got slightly bent...
