Well, you can't. Hasbro's never made anything even remotely like it, and let's be clear: they shouldn't. They have more important things to use their resources on than scenery. Can you imagine how stupid it would be to walk into Toys &#1071; Us and see a package with nothing in it but scaffolding and I-beams? The thing would never sell. There are some Japanese companies that have released similar things (either for Zoids or Armored Core or something along those lines), but those are high-end model kits, not toys, and importing them would cost you the equivalent of an entire series of TFs.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Good news, though! You can make your own! And no, it doesn't involve hot-gluing together sprues from other model kits or anything. If you have a printer, some glue, and an insane level of patience, you can make <a href=\"http:\/\/paper-replika.com\/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=580:maintenance-facility-patlabor&catid=83&Itemid=200144\">this papercraft Maintenance Facility<\/a>.
