Here we go, everyone! The semi-finals of the greatest Vehicle/Playset in ARAH history! As I did with the figures, we'll have two polls, separating the vehicles/playsets into the early years and later years. Then, we'll have a final poll pitting the two winners against each other for overall supremacy!
For this first poll, my choice is the Defiant, as the absolute best vehicle/playset in ARAH, not just in this poll, but overall. I'm hoping it wins, but it'll have stiff competition, so we'll just have to wait and see! Link to 1989-1994 Poll: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...89-1994-a.html

I had 6 of the 7 listed and all could be consider iconic or greatest, but for me the Terrordrome with Firebat was it, Cobras command center, thing was huge, could hold more figures than i could count, muliple cannons and rooms, areas from vehicles, one of the few headquarters for the villians (Snake mountain comes to mind) and it was just so well designed, this will likely lose to the Defiant but for me, nothing on this list beats the Terrordrome

Tough to choose... no Flagg? (I forget how it did in previous polls) Lol.
Terrordrome is the only one of the "big 3" I had as a kid. It was my absolute favorite toy. I have to go with it |

dirty pool having to choose between the ttbp and the defiant.
80's space toys are always going to get my vote. (even though the ttbp could tactically be used on the moon) defiant is also top favorite joe vehicle/playset ever; along with the general; and rolling thunder. i love them all equally the same. |

I currently have a Headquarters Command Center, TTBP, and BUGG on display in my room and love them all. I could easily make arguments for why at least the first two of those deserve to win.
Never had the Terror Drome, WHALE, or Defiant, but of course those all seem worthy as well. And yet, at the end of the day, my heart and my vote go to the VAMP. My first G.I. Joe item and still my favorite. It's basically a perfect toy, in my opinion. Simple but endlessly fun for a kid to play with. It's a jeep, it drives, it races, it fits two figues, and it's got guns to shoot bad guys with. 8-year-old me couldn't ask for more. Along with the HISS (how did that not make the cut for this list??), it's also one of the most iconic vehicles that defined the G.I. Joe brand. |

The HISS actually lost the Definitive 1983 poll to the Headquarters.

Voted Command Center because it's all I ever owned from any of those.
Getting it to 98% in December and tossing my two old MOBATS in it really hammered home how much I loved that thing as a kid. |

I was pretty torn between the WHALE and the Terror Drome, but the TD ultimately takes the #1 slot for me.

Whichever vehicle/playset wins this poll, will likely win the overall poll... most of us seem to be more into the early half of the line, rather than the latter half.
