I don't see why are there so many people bashing this. It's unique in it's own way, I like huge ass moving vehicles that can hold alot of figures. Theres so many ways to play it, I've been spending quite alot of time on the pit. I really really like it, especially when you have alot of figures to display it with.

the pit shines best as a huge mobile base but when you open it up it sucks my biggest complaints with the pit are things like, ohh the elavator does not go all the way down orrrrrr all the way up, they put a top handle on a kids toy that is not load bearing how stupid is that! lots of parents returned the pit because little johnny picked it up quickly by the big honkin plastic handle on top and broke it, the handle is unsightly i plan on taking mine off especially since it is only for deploying the base and not for carrying it around.
but i do like the way it looks when it is closed up and it does have some limited diorama potential. |

It's one of the better playsets around now (Are there any other playsets that's bigger than this?), and the price The Pit is going for now is dirt cheap. It's good for anyone who can't afford (Getting rip off) or find the other bases now.
I agree the handle looks out of place, but I need it there to open up the base whenever i transform it back into vehicle mode. It's fun having it rolling out with other land vehicles. |

what is that black and white picture in the back ground? it looks like may be a military or graduation picture ---- or both?
I like seeing what the inside of a house in singapore looks like what is with that window? it has a empty frame behind it? is that to look stylized like ricepaper doors and windows of japan for example? nice plane and helicopter collection btw |

The problem with this toy is that it doesn't make any sense. Outside, it looks odd (in my opinion). It is big, but they didn't make it particularly fun to play with as a vehicle. It could have been somewhat epic, with missiles and guns everywhere, but that isn't the case. Anything bigger than a skyhawk can't even land on it! On the other hand, the interior basically is a whole different world. The MCC opens up to - tada - the interior of a large vehicle. This things opens up into an underground GI Joe HQ. In other words, the vehicle is a mobile base and the interior is an underground base. With rocks and cardboard boxes! And a ping pong table! And a jail that is so tiny it looks like something the VC would use! Everything about the toy is either an afterthought or just thrown in because "that would be cool". But nothing makes sense. The elevator and the handle are just the most superficial of these issues. But, hey, it is a cheap big playset and I know my kid loves it. But as an adult, it is ugly, illogical and had so much potential to be far greater.

I like it. Whether i do so because it is a good toy or because I do not have any other bases/playsets to compare to I can't say. I still need to find the time to sticker it up, though. That's going to be a day long endeavor.

I like the PIT as well.
I got mine for $79.99 and was very pleased. I am just trying to find a polace to display it ! My KMART has 2 left on clearance for $50.00 and I plan on picking up another for possible custom or just part replacement if ever needed.
