My son bought this with his birthday money yesterday (Well most of it, I helped him as part of his christmas present), and the wall with the beds is warped and won't stay closed. Is this a common problem, and if so, can a replacement be had from Hasbro?
Also, the ping pong table is crap, but so far he is absolutely loving the thing. Played with it almost non stop today. For the $70 bucks we paid, it is a lot of fun.

I emailed Hasbro, we'll see what (if anything) happens next.

There is a site that sells non-cardboard replacement parts for the PIT (made with styrene, I believe - includes a ping pong table, some crates, and the other parts made from cardboard) for $20. You might look for this for your son. I'm CERTAIN they will serve him much better than what Hasbro offered.

You should check these guys out for some replacement parts: D&J TOYS
I haven't purchased any yet, but it looks like good quality stuff and other Tankers seem to like them. EDIT: It looks like ChaplainAsst and I were posting about the same site at the same time...I've been drooling over their backgrounds for a long time, just haven't put enough change together yet to buy one.

Check out Jaybirds link above - that was what I was remembering - as it has replacement backgrounds as part of its set.

Hasbro offer to replace the whole thing, but I have to send it in (at their expense). I don't know if I want to mess with that.
