Title: Attack on the G.I. Joe PIT Headquarters @ TRU
Post by: Storm.Shadow on September 20, 2009, 11:24:32 AM

Kitchener Toys'R'Us had about a half dozen of these exclusive sets out.  The $49.99 price tag was a bit hard to swallow however.

That is a little steep for repaints.

Wow. How do they justify that when the price is $26 in the US?

I saw this set yesterday at TRU.  Meh. Overpriced repaints.

And if that is indeed the USA price, it's further proof that Canadians get price gouged by retailers up here.

Maybe the 30% off sale will include the Pit set.  Then it may be worth it.

I picked it up at TRU in London today, it was the only one. It actually seems like an OK value for five guys and a vehicle. I dunno, I only kind of like it. At any rate it will be hard to army build Pit Trooper...I think he'll be in charge of my Pit Commandos.
