The Pit Headquarters:

Positives - Huge playset, lots of stuff, infinite play possibilities. My 2 five year olds love it, it occupies them for hours at a time. We keep it opened up and not in vehicle mode most of the time. Seems pretty durable, has held up to intense play for long stretches without any breaks.

Negatives - Lots of small parts, which I pretty much expected. No suprises. 5 sheets of stickers - would take HOURS to apply. I saw on another message board it took a guy 5 hours to put them all on. I didn't put on every last sticker, many are tiny and inconsequential. Seems they could have done a better job with this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

My main issue is the price - [...] bones for this set is too high. I think it would be well worth the money for $50-60 but at [...] + it is definitely overpriced. Really could say this for all the new GI joe toys.

If you are willing to wait until next winter after xmas when this will probably be fairly significantly discounted, more power to you and you'll be getting a great deal on an overall great toy. However if you're like me and my kids and pumped up for the movie, you'll pay too much for this - I don't regret buying it and it is a great playset, you won't be disappointed with it but again $100+ is too much.

I bought this toy for my 7 year old for his birthday. It was easy enough to put together, but I didn't like the all-picture instructions. There's 100s of stickers to put on. Unfortunately, this toy just does not hold up to actual play. The railings fall off, the wings on both top and bottom are constantly falling off. It has a lot of small pieces that fall off constantly. This is a terrible waste of money. For the price, this should have come fully assembled and bulletproof.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cheap Construction and Hundreds of Stickers...UGH, August 8, 2009

There is a very good chance that if you are looking to purchase this for your kid, you were into GI Joe back in the 80s. Before you read on, try to remember how ruggedly built those old toys were. You could smash 'em, throw 'em into the grass and dirt, and they'd be ready the next day...month...my kid is now playing with those toys 25 years later.

This toy is built of cheap, thin plastic. I guarantee if your kid drops it ONCE from chest height, it's done. The thirty-five year old nerd in one of these reviews is not who these toys are meant for. Most of the pieces do not LOCK into place and need to constantly be put back into position. Have you ever heard of toy railings that "rest" in position?! They dont snap or lock into place! I didn't even bother w/ super-glue and threw away the railings. The hinges that many of the doors/sections rely on constantly need to be popped back into place, too. There is absolutely nothing solid on this. Cheap, cheap, cheap.

If my son's eyes didn't bug out when he saw this thing, I would have returned it. Save your money...and the sanity you'll lose trying to apply page after page after page of stickers 1/4 the size of your pinky fingernail.
