[@MJbulls23airJs]

My absolute favorite Xmas present ever! I was so happy when my folks got me this that morning. They got my brother the sewer play set and we played with them all day

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome 🤓

[@Xornvestite]

I still remember the Christmas I got this! The Turtle van didn't stand a chance once this thing showed up. So many fun memories... I still have it at my parents' house.

[@tedbrogan1]

My Dad got this for me back in "91 for my 10th birthday. Best playset I ever got and still have it to this day!

[@churchsnaturescenes7864]

Cant remember what grade I was in at the time but my brother and I were lucky enough to get the Technodrome as a present and endless begging. One of the coolest toys ever in my opinion. We were right into the turtles no doubt about it. Probably my best memories as a kid was playing with turtle toys but also He-man as well.

[@dominicpaul1]

Absolutely love the angles you shot for this, really makes you feel down there with the figures on their level 😄 Great job!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks 😁

[@thattotallytubulartoydude3777]

I loved the angle when you went through the jail cell!

[@NinjaToyReviews]

Oh man , this looks so epic They need to re release this

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Ooh yeah new release technodrome retro collection i like it 😁

[@blues2807]

Indeed

[@user-fd7ud7vj8s]

Neca or super7(especially now they released snake mountian)

[@joshuasmith6346]

Neca needs to make one of these. Take my money

[@yamchasokidan4548]

I use to have one when i was young. My mom had just read an article about the fact that kids used to find that playset boring. That could'nt be farther from the truth cause when i finaly got mine, i was always playing with it.

[@thattotallytubulartoydude3777]

I was so excited as a kid when the Technodrome came out. I begged my Mom and Dad for it. I still have it and have it on display.

[@anthonyxavier6300]

Has some turtle figures and some vehicles back in the day but never as big as a playset. Always loved the box art that draws me and admire it.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

The boxart is so good on these 😁

[@The_Bad_Guy.]

I always wanted this as a kid. I loved the turtles and honestly had a ridiculous amount of tmnt toys and vehicles but never had the technodrome.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

There were so many tmnt vehicles!!!

[@joshuasmith6346]

My grandmother bought me one for my birthday. I begged her at this toy store called PLAY CO. I'll never forget opening my present and seeing it. I almost fainted.

[@Ianator73]

Finally a new updated review of this awesome piece👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼💯 Thanks for sharing dude 🍕🍕🍕🎯

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks 🤓

[@mikesmith2718]

I lost it when I got this as a kid and ran through the house screaming technodrome!!! I had so many fun times with this set I need to pick up one for my collection now

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome 😁

I still have my one from when I was a kid 😃

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome 😁

[@80svillainstoys63]

Still on my wishlist!!!! So cool 🔥

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Cowabunga 😁

[@snukastyle]

The only Technodrome I ever had was the Mega Bloks version. It's a bit larger than the Playmates one, but scales better with the figures for said line. Alas, it was a nightmare to build and crazy fragile once assembled. Though it'd be cool to see an updated version of the playset, but maybe with the smaller in-scale figures to populate it.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I havent seen the mega blocks version will look it up

[@residentvania7733]

I had a ton of Tmnt figures back in the day. But never owned this playset. Always thought it was badass. Fantastic review. Your vids go into such detail. I'm a huge fan. Keep them coming!!!!🤘The way you did the vid...The camera shots remind me of a toy commercial from the 80s. Great stuff. You rock dude.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks 🤓 i’m still figuring out how to review the playsets but liked some of the shots I made 🤓

[@rockerwess]

I had this work of art. It’s so dope.

[@m.l.679]

The Icon of the toyline in my opinion. I have the Turtle base, the Party Van, and the Technodrome, all 100%. Everybody that see them instantly go to the Technodrome. It's The piece :)

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Well it looks awesome 😜

[@ceddebruxelles]

Very instructive review, I like that toy history segment 😉

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks 🤓 i thought that was a fun fact but glad we got the 1990’s version and not the technoblimp

[@The90sAreRad]

That’s so awesome. I’ve always wanted one of them

[@luapco1516]

Such a great vid with awesome shots of the turtles in the play set. Ive always wanted one and after watching this i really feel like i need to get one or the sewer playset so i can display my collection

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks buddy 🤓

[@Empiretoys1138]

it's a great playset dude. Remember a kid i went to school with having this, or the smaller one? Either way it was cool!

Epic playset for sure!

[@danielrecommends]

I wish I had owned one of these as a kid. It's definitely one of the best playsets ever released. It would be awesome if Super 7 made one, even though it would be huge. I love the idea of a vintage toy review. I don't know if anyone else is doing it but Its a stellar concept. Keep up the great videos Ed!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks well i think all toychannels do them 😁

[@danielrecommends]

@@EdsRetroGeekOut not as good as you though!

[@JerryD9000]

I was fortunate to have this and the sewer played. Seeing your turtles hanging on the guns took me back. At one point I stored my movie version of the action figures on my technodrome just like that.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome i saw it on the boxart and promo catalog pics so i had do do it 😆

Yikes 😅

[@SwiftpawWolffox]

I didn't have it but my godparent's kid did because he was really big into TMNT, so I at least got to play with one.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Wow 😁 that’s awesome

[@antoniolugo4011]

I grew up with the 200 turtles but I still watched these turtles & i love them, sadly these toys weren’t around when I was a kid but it looks amazing ! I had the 2003 tmnt lair play set but this is much better

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

The 2000’s one is realy big right?

[@LiquidCucumber]

Just dug mine out of my parent's attic a few weeks ago and am planning a diorama! Always wanted the sewer playset when I was a kid and I didn't even know anyone who had it, so I think we'd be friends (despite the large jump over the pond!).
