The Pit - a closer look

[Fungal Infection]

As the biggest single individual toy I've ever owned (and I've owned Brave Maximus in the past!), I thought I'd give people a closer look at the Pit, especially considering its on special for only $99 at Kmarts at the moment. So here are the pics:

Mobile Pit mode:

Next to deluxe Bumblebee for size comparison:

Cannon turrets and drop chute - below the handle is a chute that you can drop prisoners into who will then appear in the prison:

I'm seriously tempted to grab some Combat Heroes now to display with the Pit - they're way easier to display but the limited number currently available along with the future release of Combat Heroes being uncertain is holding me back. So there you have it folks - if you needed anymore convincing to grab this set at the special price, then I'd say the only thing that could really hold you back is the considerable amount of space it takes up. And the absurd amount of stickers (six sheets!! :mad::mad::mad:) Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing Fungal. Im wondering where all those six sheets of stickers are in the pics? doesnt look much :D... hope I find one still by next payday:p ( one can hope).

[rateeg]

thank you for the pics.
i might have to think if i'll get one soon while they are still on sale.

[foor]

I'd buy one if I could find one. NOTHING here. At this point, it'll be cheaper for me to book a ticket to another city, fly there. pick one up and fly back to Darwin than getting one shipped.

Thanks for the pics Fungal. It looks sheer awesome.

[STL]

Awesome! Current week sale or have I missed it?

[JustOwen]

the design looks like one of the 80's joe vehicle Rolling thunder

thanks for the pics Fungal.

[Lord_Zed]

Yeah I think so to. I wonder how the size compares to the Rolling Thunder?

Nice looking set to, still not sure if it's for me. I do like the infirmary and living quaters though. Do figures actualy fir on those beds though? I'd like to see some pics with some Joes on it.

BTW Fungal, where'd ya get jet pack Hawk?

[Lord_Zed]

Seeing as how no one has posted pics of the Pitt with actual Joe Figures, I thought I might.

I wasn't planning to buy the darnt thing but Kmart just had to keep dropping their price didn't they.
