set masterlist to {}
set end of masterlist to d1

etc.

That's actually a better, faster and more efficient way of appending to
lists in any case since it doesn't have to make a new list in memory each
time. I'd recommend doing that for each item in a repeat loop. However, if
you insist on concatenating, you could instead do

set masterList to {d1} & {d2} & {d3}
