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.

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).

Holy crap - free shipping! Thanks!!

Almost want to get two, but I barely have room for one. Ordered.

Just got my shipping notification- should be here Thursday (I only ordered one, not the whole 'Drome)

Will try to get a review & pics ready by the end of the week.

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.

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

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.
