Like a lot of you, I have a bedroom that serves as a "Joe room." Anyway Whoa is me, my collection has grown too large for the room. So I decided if I move a few things around I can make some more space, maybe. So last night I try to move the table that my Flagg sits on with a plywood slat in between. Well about a foot from where it would have been moved and done with the table collasped dropping the Flagg and an assortment of vehicles and other things stored on top. Oh did I mention my Terrordome wouldn't fit out the door so it was still in the room and to keepit out of the way of the moving table the only place to put it was on the Flagg. So before assesssing for damage I'm in the hallway literally crying, my wife comes to see what had happened and suggested we just pull the table out set it back up and lift the plywood piece with thte Flagg in it back on the table. Well, thanks to a bookshelf in the way the plywood got caught and the slightest tilt sent the terrordome back to the floor. Finally I got it all in place. The Flagg had a very small underside corner piece break, I can't find any damage on the terrordome. Thankfully those two escaped relatively unscathed. Even Castle Greyskull was underneath and escaped without a scratch. Unfortunatly there was one casualty, the second time the terrordome fell it landed on a vintage wolf, it didn't fair well, breaking in several places. All in all despite the horrible expierance I am very happy the the damage was very minimal. However I'm not sure I actually made any additional space.

Man this sucks. At least the Wolf was the only casualty. Room has become a major issue for me as well. I have already expanded my toy room twice before and I am considering doing it again only I do have much more room I can take over and the wife and I are in a constant debate on whether to sell or build an addition.

Man. I would consider yourself lucky. I bought a terror drome earlier this summer and that thing is fragile. Good luck setting back up. My joe room is a disaster right now.

Nice bullet dodging. Some of the Joe stuff is fragile, but by and large it is tough as nails. A good reflection on the Hasbro of old these toys can take a licking 30 years later and be, mostly, fine.

Once it happened to me too. I was arranging the room and moved the Terrordrome to a shelf about a meter in height. My big cat, a british shorthair of about 8kg, jumped over (the shelf was his ...) and the Terror fell to the ground breaking up into many pieces. Miracle! nothing broke. And now when I move it I'm careful that there are no felines around.
This is the bandit!
