The Technodrome vehicle/playset was the mecca of Turtles Toys and sits proudly alongside the Sewer Playset and the Pizza Thrower as one of the most beloved toys in the original release. Originally priced at $50, the outside of the toy is very accurate to its show appearance, complete with four rolling tank tread like wheels a giant eye that can detach from the top and bowl over its enemies and rock blasters. Much like other toys in the line, some playset details were misleading when comparing the box art to the final product.

I just found the pieces of my old technodrome in my parents attic. I know I have the middle, sides, and eyeball. The rest I had to box up quickly to bring home because they were gonna toss everything left behind, so I gotta dig through my boxes and see how much of the insides I have. So happy to have found it!! Found my turtle van and sewer set as well!!

I added a 90% complete one to my collection and introduced it to my 1st grader a few moments ago. It's been so long that I forgot how some of it worked especially the eyeball ramp and we learned more watching your video. It goes great with the Playmates party van and so he and I are having fun playing with both right now. Thanks for the nostalgia, and I gotta say I love your taste in toys.

@CoolToy glad to see you found your childhood dream toy, nice to see someone genuinely excited to get a toy. For me the "toy" I'd really like to see again is an ELF II single board computer I built as a teenager. Not really a toy but something I did spend a lot of time with.

I’ve only had the pleasure to see the Flag in person once, but my god is that thing amazing. The single greatest/most absurd toy to ever be released from Hasbro in my opinion. I’m still blown away that ever made it to the market, especially back then. It’s so impressive

@spacecowboyfpv5511 3 жыл бұрын

@@cooltoy It has the opposite effect going on with the Technodrome... that seemed huge but as an adult was not that big..the Flagg on the other hand felt like you could live in it as a kid and i see it as an adult and it's almost more ridiculous in size than I remember. You'd need a bedroom for it basically... My wife is cool.. Im not sure she's THaaaaat cool though.

The only gripe, the firing platform for the side blasters are completely useless. The figures are too bulky to sit on the platform and hold the gun as seen on the box. you have to detach the weapon or the platform, which defeats the purpose of having either..
