I look forward to seeing what kind of set up you do with it, figures-wise.

https://amoktime.com/star-attack-battle-station-playset/?mc_cid=d66f5a38ae&mc_eid=7422a4f3a8 Holy hell this looks pretty awesome. Looks like you could even put four of them together to make a quasi-TerrorDrome type structure. I'm not really in to buying "random" things any more, but I am VERY tempted by this. |

It's pretty neat looking. I wish it was slightly cheaper. |

Pretty great-looking, and fairly huge considering. I have several of the Timmee Toys "Battle Mountain Terrain" sets. Was almost going to pull the trigger on this, since it's pretty big for the price. But the extra $30 for shipping was a bridge too far for me. |

I passed on this so many times in the 90s when it was $18 or $20 so the current price just turns me off. |

Yeah, Amok Time can get a little ridulous with their shipping prices sometimes. I actually didn't even notice it was a Timmee product. I got one of those mountain sets but it pissed me off that most of the ledges weren't actually flat. They slanted forward enough to mess with standing figures on it. I just looked and the Star Attack Battle Station is on Amazon for less, and free shipping! https://www.amazon.com/TimMee-Star-Attack-Battle-Station/dp/B099D5YM64/ref=sr_1_21?crid=1T7LTJWDX5KG&keywords=timmee+toys&qid=1638414767&sprefix=Timmee%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-21 EDIT: I guess TimMee Toys also sells directly through a website too. Same price as on Amazon, and free shipping on orders $50 and up. They also offer four of them in a set for $100 off. https://timmeeusa.com/collections/new/products/jl-timmee-star-battle-station-x4 |

That Amazon link is for a reseller. The price immediately put me off. $75? Maaaaybe But its not a $125 playset in my opinion. Not enough features to justify the price for me. Too bad too. I got a few ideas when I first saw the pics. |

Just saw too, that if you order off of the TimMee website you can use the code INSTOCK10 and get 10% off. That's $112.50 for a single and only $360 for the set of 4 ($140 off regular price). |

Mine arrived in the mail today. I haven't had a chance to put it together, but I did have a chance to observe the fact that it is huge. Like, way bigger than I expected it to be. That's not a complaint, but it's definitely not the sort of thing you'll be able to fit on a shelf, unless your shelves are also huge. It's a really fun toy, though: I would have played with this thing to within an inch of its life if I had one as a kid. |

Got mine today (delayed due to weather/whatever) Probably won't get to posting pics until tomorrow, because I'm done messing with it for now - there are parts of it with even cheaper plastic than I expected (all the accessories/guns/etc), and the gate won't close because it's warped, so I'll likely be customizing the "LASER BLAST" out of it with various greeblies and other weapons & accessories. It is pretty big (4" figures/customs for scale), and if it were $65-$75, I would be more than happy with it. But right now, I'm still on the fence as to whether it was worth it.

I believe it said on the store site (or somewhere) that the plastic could warp while packaged, but that it should return to form within a couple days or so. I bet a hair dryer would quicken that. It definitely looks pretty boss. Seeing it with figures really shows how big it is too. |
