What is the greatest playset of all time and why is it the Technodrome?
>>11765342getting real sick of these boomer slop threads
>>11765342CG-Man Grayskull for me
>>11765425Really happy with this one for how much it cost. Love the little detachable bone pod things.
>>11765342It's good but it ain't the Batcave.
>>11765551Unfortunately, to get a really good Wayne Manor, we'd have to custom a Barbie dream house or something.
>>11765551And people complain about repaints and reuse now.
>>11765558>now.
>>11765551>Bruce Wayne has so much money he randomly repaints his entire mansion is the worst colors for a laugh.
>>11765342I always loved playsets that could be closed down to be stored as a kid. For me it was the Micromachines Death Star.
>>11765551>The Batparments
>>11765342Whether it be the 7-foor aircraft carrier, terrordrome, or the defiant launch complex, no one did playsets better than 80s GI Joe.
>>11765800The only thing that bugged me about the Terrordrome was how did they get down from the top floor
>>11765827Most multi-level toys didn't add in elevators or staircases, and it bugged me too. Kids had to have their figures "pretend-hop" their way to the upper level.
>>11765888>That's it. Everyone over the wall.
>>11765800>be kid in 1985>the firebat is constantly shown in the cartoon>want one really badly>1986 comes around>Hasbro decides to release Firebat>BUT it comes bundled with a base playset the parents of most kids can't afford>most kids never get one>Hasbro later offers it>must collect flag points because they won't outright sell it to youThis was easily the biggest dick move in the original ARAH line.
>>11765899I think the Firebat was originally meant to be sold on it's own. That's why it showed up in grey in the previous season. But for some reason, they held off and decided to bundle it with the Terrordrome.
>>11765620>MicromachinesThat's action fleet you dunce. But I agree, I literally was going to post the action fleet hoth playset as my favorite of all time.
>>11765985When considering how long toy development time is, they knew in 1985 that the Firebat was going to be expensive. They made kids really want it before dropping the big price tag on us.
>>11765351Then contribute to the non-boomer focused ones doofus >>11762927
>>11765899They eventually released a modified one in the VR troopers line. That's something.
>>11766025And it was so badly altered to accomodate bigger figures that it was unusable as a Firebat.
>>11765997Action Fleet was a subline of Micromachines you dunce. See the Micromachines logo above the Star Wars logo?
>>11765550I like that slow descending drawbridge after sticking the sword into the holes.
>>11765351
>>11766025It kind of reminds me of the lander from Aliens too.
>>11765827>The only thing that bugged me about the Terrordrome was how did they get down from the top floorOne at a time in the Firebat.
>>11766164these playsets were absolute kino, I liked the Hot one a lotAlso this was one of the coolest playsets that I didn't keep for very long. I didn't know how cool I had it, man.
>>11766245so no spooning in the Firebat?
>>11766261If you try that while it's in flight, you're gonna have a bad time.
>>11766297you will with THAT attitude
>>11765800If my parents were to have some how been able to buy this for me I wouldve had to rely on extended family in order to get a figure for it.
>>11765997>>11765620Wow I had both of these. Haven't thought about this in forever. You got a lot of playset in a small package
>>11766164There were at least 5 micro machines death star playsets. There is one action fleet death star. Literally no one calls action fleet micro machines, except for you.
>>11766164>>11765997Ok I was gonna say. I definitely remember they were Micromachines.>>11766352Soul.>>11766355I also had the messed up Vadee Tie Fighter so I would always land it in the death star and pretend to repair it.There were also those little character heads that opened up like Mighty Max and would fit 1 character. I can't believe shit like that would amuse me so much and I liked it better than real action figures.I kinda want to get the larger C3PO head just because its chrome.>>11766387They are and will always be Micromachines, bud.Also didn't some other company do something similar a few years ago.
>>11766387>Literally no one calls action fleet micro machines, except for you.I wasn't the anon that originally said it. I was just playing devil's advocate and pointing out that he was technically correct. Amazon also list it as Micro Machines:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WBA2U0/And eBay sellers:https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Micro+Machines+Action+Fleet+death+starAt least it's technically correct, unlike all the fuckers that list the Double Takes Death Star as Action Fleet when it wasn't.https://www.ebay.com/itm/117150137353Hell, I used the regular Micro Machines minifigures in my Action Fleet one because I didn't like the AF figures except as pilots in the ship cockpits.>There were at least 5 micro machines death star playsetsI've been racking my brain trying to think of them all. There was pic related, Stormtrooper head/DS1, Royal Guard head/DS2, Double Take DS/Tatooine, Action Fleet, and I seem to remember a DS Trench Run one that might have been a lightsaber? Was that all of them?
>>11766349It came with a figure (AVAC - Firebat pilot).
