Guys,
Thanks for the tips - after posting this I found formbx257's YouTube video where he walks through putting the Terror Drome back together. I reversed his instructions and was able to get it pretty well disassembled and started cleaning the parts. It definitely makes a difference seeing the parts shiny. I was most hesitate about taking off the hinged doors that fold down, but fortunately, they all popped out easily without breaking any of the tabs/plastic. I was having trouble getting the blue cobra symbols off of the top command center, and decided to soak it in warm water in the bath, and they eventually popped out nicely as well. I was a little apprehensive to start taking it apart after reading how fragile the plastic is, however, if you go slow and are careful, the disassembly isn't impossible. I found that I could slide out the side walls near the rotating side doors, to release the tension on the top hook to get them out without any risk to the tabs.
I'm now contemplating whitening the command area a little. Once I got the stickers cleaned off, you can tell the plastic has yellowed. I'll have to wait for the weather to get a little better, but I might do the peroxide bath on it to see how it comes out.
Thanks for the tips.
