Post by johnnetee »

Image Hey guys! Have any of you ever seen this? I seem to have been the only person who ever owned one. hahah. I would love to get another one to display my figures in. I have other pics if your interested in what the heck this is. It was an official playset, purchased originally at K-Mart. Any help in locating one would be great! Thanks guys! JohnneTEE[/img][/code]

Transformers Activity Center, Warren, 1985

"ASSEMBLY REQUIRED"

Fetures:
-computer control center
-weapons and equipment room
-watch tower
-break-through door
-access ramp
-artillery battlements
-multiple play surfaces

Looks like it IS cardboard, and the one pictured above is missing the long access ramp, which attaches by the two holes under ramjet there. Probably a couple hundred boxed and complete. I'll look online and see if i can find anything.

Keep us all informed! Where did you find the stats on it?

WOW!!! You're amazing. I totally forgot about that access ramp. It was really long and I think the pegs that the ramp plugged into had already decayed beyond use by the time these pictures were taken. Also, if you weren't on a flat enough surface, it just wouldn't go in right. hmmm. It was a straight ramp with about a 45 degree angle. But yeah, it was made of cardboard. As you can see the top level is a bit bowed from all the years of having too heavy figures up there. hahah. Please let me know what else you find. I'm very impressed!

Well, now there are two on Ebay! One is going for $95, and the other is about $82. They're both Mint in box apparently. I think I'll wait a bit longer. hahah... Maybe someone will scan one and I can just make my own... hahah...
