Yeah, okay... we have a Whale owners thread, a Flagg owners thread, so why not a Terror Drome thread?
I got one! I was surfing a local classifieds and saw an estate sale with GI Joe, Transformers, MASK, He-Man, Star Wars, etc...tons and tons. In the picture of the GI Joe shelf I spot the bottom of a Terror Drome I figured I'd go take a look... so I'm there and it's like the old lady kept all of her son's toys, everything was there, G1 Transformers, Lazer Tag, MASK, Star Wars!! Funny thing is I had most of the GI Joe stuff they had for sale, haha... I spy a pocket pack for $3 bucks, I open it up and there's a few weapons like Lady Jaye's javelin thing, a pistol, Ice Viper sai, Beachhead's ammo pouch and an unbroken Alpine grapple gun. I see the Terror Drome on the top shelf, I take it down to look at it and inside I see all three fuel stations with hoses and nozzles. It looks complete. I see the price, $225!!! Not bad, but not something I'm going to pay since I just bought a motorhome. I put it back and start to walk out, they ask if I was interested. I was, but I just can't pay that right now. So the guy asks for $150, I pass, they lower it to $130... I pass again. I tell them I can really only pay $100 and it's worth more if they sell it online. They tell me they don't do that type of thing, if it doesn't sell they donate to a local place (kind of like Goodwill.) Called Deseret Industries. So they were motivated to sell, otherwise they don't make their cut. They say if I can do $110 I could take it. So I pay the $110, get it home to look at it and when I open one of the doors I find a Flagg fuel trailer with both nozzles! All that's missing on the Terror Drome is one gun tip, one gun holder, one seat and one stabilizing leg. (And the Firebat, but I have the 25th version.) So I have one now... and it's wonderful.

This is something I severely desired back in the day. I wanted this more than I ever wanted the Flagg. Never got one. I've been tempted to try to find one. Right now I don't have the money or space, and if I got one, I'd be tempted to load it up with expensive army builders! But if I found one for $100, I'd take it!

The Terror Drome was the first of the BIG sets that I was able to pick up. I got mine from eBay about five years ago. I remember seeing pictures of someone who had stacked up a few TDs atop each other to make a super base. Hope those pictures show up in this thread.

My only criticism is that I wish the Firebat launch silo somehow could have had some type of elevator incorporated into it like the old Death Star play set so there would be some way for the characters to actually commute from the upper to lower sections. Or maybe just a door in the bay with the handle to allow the Firebat launch base to be used as an elevator itself.
What I do love about the set is as many have mentioned is that with the circular upper deck you can really use it as a display piece to show off many Cobra troops. When I was young I used to wish I had a dozen BATs to put in the one empty bay in the lower section so when the Joes attacked the bay door would drop and a phalanx of BATs could deploy. Now I do have a dozen BATs. ;) The Dreadnoks were never permitted on the upper deck of my TD. They were general admission only.
