Cappeca's looks to be the first one with dark tan terrain. Mine is the second version. It has dark green terrain and a different vehicle/figure assortment. There is a third, but it looks to have the same color terrain as two.

Amazon.com Battlescapes

I picked mine up right after last xmas, when TRU had them on clearance for like $20.

Here's some on evilBay

wow those are cool but so pricey :( very tempting though
edit, well amazon is pricey ebay not so bad.

i havent built diorama sets since grade school so i am very out of practice so will see if ican recreate my own stuff before spending this kinda dough on them

The Ultimate Soldier XD F-18 next to my mobat stickered. :/ i like the plane... if only it wasn't in Kreo Revenge of the fallen megatron millitary gray. :/ so hoping for the F-22 raptors since in Resolute they made good Skystrikers updates.

Nice. I think pieces from one of those Apache sets could go a long way towards fixing Kreo's Dragonfly. ;)

My wife made me relocate my Block City, but that meant I got to move it from a table that accommodated a 3x3 layout to a built-in shelf in our hallway that will accommodate a 2x7 setting. So from 9 baseplates to 14 (only 12 shown, I've got more "water" coming).



This pic's a little blurry, but at the corner farthest from the camera you can spot the Ghostbusters firehouse (with Slimer on the roof). Castle Grayskull is situated in the center of town. And the beach is protected by a TTBP (a SHARC, Devilfish, Turtle Van, Geewunner Mini Tank, and Optimus Prime can all be found currently cruising through town).

may sound strange, but looks more natural looking then the old set up to me. :/ just need a new place for the terrordrome.

I totally know what you mean. The other set up had a sort of unnatural sitcom-y layout. This looks more like a real street might, IMO.

^^^ I think the disPLAY factor just went up with this change! Great looking set up, Hobbes!
