Sadly enough... the only playset I remember playing with while I was little was a portable ninja turtle one. It wasn't mine, brother's but he was kind enough to let me mess around with it. Needless to say.. it was pretty awesome :P
My parents spoiled our house of 4 boys and I love them very much for doing so much for us. And the spoiling equated to things such as Castle Grayskull, the Ghostbusters Firehouse, and the Castle from Voltron.
I remember on the EARLY morning of Christmas day (2 - 3 am?), my brothers and I sneaked downstairs to see an awesome display of the Ghostbusters Firehouse. My parents took it out of the box with several figures out of their packaging and arranged them in various action poses in and out of the firehouse. That had to be an idea of my father being that he still acts like a kid. We obviously could not contain ourselves and started to play with it as quietly as we could. That didn't last for long as my father showed up and pushed us all back to bed. I will never forget that memory and I'm actually getting teared up thinking about it. ^^;;;

I don't remember any of the playsets we had, but I do remember we had some some Biker Mice From Mars action figures! I wish I knew where they were. They were so badass.
I was really into the TMNT Sewers playset. That thing was awesome. Not only did it faithfully represent the turtles' abode, but it also had the street above it, complete with telephone poles to climb and swing from, where they could fight the baddies. Sadly, I don't think I have enough of it left to build it.
It wasn't as much a playset as it was a giant vehicle/mobile command center, but the GI Joe General was one of the biggest, coolest toys I ever owned. It had more than enough space on the deck for large scale battles, more battlestations than you can shake a stick at, its own helicopter and landing pad, and a giant working howitzer that lifted out of it. The only thing bigger was the USS Flagg, which my grandmom had from when my uncles played with GI Joes. As a toddler it was big enough that I could sit on it and play on the flight deck.
The Ghostbusters Firehouse was another classic. I believe almost action figure I owned made an appearance in there from time to time

I totally had that castle. God, was it really that pink and air brushed?
I actually still played She-Ra with a friend when I was 12 or so. She has all the figures and the castle. I got rid of mine early on.
God, why did I get rid of all those cool figures I had: She Ra, He-Man, Ghost Busters, Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles and such. Grrrrr.
