Reviews of the set were mixed upon its release.  Some fans praised it as an innovative play and display environment.  Others compared it to a giant land boat.  Regardless, $20.00 + shipping nets fans an exclusive Dennis Quaid General Hawk figure, a coffee mug, and a card board ping pong table at the bare minimum.  Shipping seems to be estimated at $10.42 by default which means that for $30.40, the Pit could be yours.

Posted on by

kmart-logoNow through Wednesday, November 25, 2009 Kmart is offering a “buy one, get one free” sale on all GIJoe, Star Wars, and Wolverine Origins basic action figures!

With the economy being what it is right now and with toy prices higher than in previous years hopefully this will help clear out some of the glut of various action figure product that has been clogging store shelves for some time.  Also, Kmart stores have regularly been receiving shipments of the “City Strike Snake Eyes” wave so this is a good chance to grab some Resolute-goodness before the insanity of the Christmas shopping season.
