I have all of its small parts, but somehow the actual mountain got lost in a move.
It sucked. I did not enjoy it. It was pretty awful for displaying figures around, and it has too many gimmicks. It's literally ALL gimmicks. Even a rock face falls down with some kind of a push button. It lacks any kind of snake motif. You can tell they were already planning to repurpose this mold. I hate that Cobra gets trash bases. The best Cobra base is the Surveillance Port. So sad.

I didn't exactly hate it, I remember when it was released and I felt a little underwhelmed as I wanted a Cobra Base but this didn't fit the bill so I ended up passing on it (one of the few things from the New Sculpt era I did pass on).

As you may already know, it was a somewhat awkwardly re-purposed Star Wars playset that was, in its original form, not all that great to begin with.
Others who have a more positive opinion that I do of the "new sculpt" era may have nicer things to say about it, but from my perspective, there's a fundamental janky-ness to the whole package that I could never quite get past.

You didn't like the Terror Drome?

i had one. i got it because at the time i was really into making the justice league out of o-ring figures and wanted to add it to my batcave. i hated it. it's still has the prequel droids shit from star wars on it. i sold it almost complete a few years ago and was happy to be rid of it because i have no other use for it. i think for 65 bucks, which at the time i thought was a lot.

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 purchased a boxed Conquest of Cobra Mountain playset, never before opened, at a Texas toy show for my kids approximately five years after it first sold at retail, and can't even remember what I paid for it (but I'm sure it was too much). My young children, one age 5 and the other would soon turn 4, owned several G.I. Joe figures, but no large playset, so this seemed like a good idea at the time.
When I got home and opened it for my children, I felt ripped off. It was possibly the worst playset I had ever seen, and did not seem like it was a product of G.I. Joe quality, at least the way I remember the toys of the 1980s being. Fortunately, my children didn't seem to know or care about that, and they had tremendous fun playing with that stupid playset. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. A child can have hours of fun with even an empty cardboard box.

They're a lot like cats, in that sense. Except you can leave a 4 and 5 year old cat alone, while you head to the local pub and tie one on.
