Hmm I love my childhood Terror Drome. Put it on a lazy susan and opened all the doors with figures/vehicles on every one.
Never had the cobra mountain playset but I do have the Star Wars Geonosis Battle Arena playset, which (while not as cool as the Terror Drome) also looks great when populated with jedi, clone troopers, geonosians, and battle droids.

I made the mistake of buying this thing years ago, Ive since sold it, but was not thrilled with the fact as has been said this was a repurposed Star wars set, and what was terrible about was the floor of teh set had destroyed battle droids molded in, Hasbro made little effort to hide the fact this was a Star Wars set first, it was by far the worst purchase i ever made.

I don't give a shit what anyone else says, a Terror Drome loaded down with troops and vehicles looks so cool that I have to wake up and scrape the ice off the windows in my office every morning.

I'd argue the Joe HQ Command Center, the Star Wars Ewok Village and Death Star, the MOTU Castle Grayskull, Snake Mountain and Horde Lair, the M.A.S.K. Boulder Hill and the TMNT Technodrome are all right up there with it too.

Vintage Snake Mountain was disappointing. A trap door and a microphone...not even two turn tables.
Cobra Mountain did seem half-arssed. Okay, 3/4 arssed. It has the notes of a playset but it's all noise. It looks better from the front and the front isn't that good. The sandstone is too shiny. The interior is trashed with those droid parts. The throne is weak. The helipad is silly small. All the weapons shoot, so there's no guns on it. The weapons racks are molded to the walls and useless. The Shipwreck included was an uninspired retread. Still it was...mildly amusing. |

I forgot this existed. I remember seeing it in Target or Walmart back in the day and thinking, "A little effort and this could have been a 'Silent Interlude' Destro's Castle".

The modern Origins snake mountain has a much more "toyetic" interior than the vintage. They both look pretty good from the front, which is part of the reason I passed on the new version. I still have my childhood one so there is a lot of sentimental attachment and I also have the Super7 version.

The Fortress of Fangs D+D playset was another solid one from the 80s that got repurposed for my Joe team.
