EDIT: fellow Tanker dgnr82 finished a photo mock-up of my idea making the Pit ARAH-tastic! All we need now is a customizer to make this idea come to life!
------------------------------------------------------------------------ I got me a most brilliant idea! The Pit is getting cheaper. Christmas is getting nearer. Yet with nothing but RoC on the shelf; what do you get ARAH fans for Xmas? How about the best of both worlds; the old and the new? Basically, how can we make the PIT more palpable for us ARAH fans who prefer the classic and nostalgic? I found thee vehicle that'll make Xmas more nostalgic. Its thee classic G.I. Joe APC; Amphibious Personnel Carrier. All you need is 3 different paints. A sheet of printable custom stickers copying some Classic Joe logos, american flag, etc.; churned out the printer. And viola! You got a bigger, badder, ROC APC with a strikingly nostalgic ARAH-esque look !!! I think this could be a really great PIT custom! Further customization can transpire, too. Maybe add a turret canon from some other cheap toys like a CORPS vehicle. Perhaps black-out the space between the 4 slits of the PIT's front canopy; to make it look like the 2 dark front windshields of the old APC. So forth and so on. I think its a great idea. Now, if we can only have a Tanker with a PIT whose a big ARAH fan show us how cool this can look. Maybe all of us, RoC and ARAH fans alike, can now have something new yet nostalgic to look forward to under the xmas tree!

I just watched the APC video.
I wonder if anyone rocked that troop carrier you could wear on your belt? |

I would have kept The Pit if the Hawk figure didn't have such a shitty paint job on the eyes. Every Pit Hawk I've seen looks like he was painted by blind cave trolls.

Hey. Are there any masters of Photoshop here who can by way of computer put APC paint-applications, APC logos, and APC colors on this picture of the PIT? That way we can really see what it could look like before deciding to buy the PIT and customizing it to look ARAH-esque.

I think the Pit is a great vehicle. Crappy base. I'm sure as heck not going to pay 100 bucks for it (not ever close.)
I had thought it needed a little APC attention when I saw it too. But I'm not about to buy one to paint because I am to cheap to buy one at all. Neat idea. |

When my boy has it out, it actually becomes a pretty good APC for the APC
