Vintage Personnel Deployment Transport (PDT-8)

Released in 1981, the PDT-8 was one of the first three mini-rigs to hit store shelves. 1981 also saw the release of a "Special Offer" version of the toy. It came with a free 2-1b figure and a yellow sticker on the front of its box.  Unlike its MTV-7 and MLC-3 counterparts, the PDT-8 did not survive into the Return of the Jedi era. It was cut from the line after 1982. This is another vehicle I purchased in my attempt to collect all of the mini-rigs. I couldn't find one complete with box at a good price so I opted to just get the cheapest one I could find. It looks fine displayed on the shelves with my other mini-rigs.
