My wife got me the Ultimate GI Joe guide for my birthday, and I've been having a blast going through it again and again.
One thing struck me as odd, though. Under the description for Starduster, it says it is the most sought after figure. I am just curious why?
About 10 years ago, a friend of mine gave me a box of about, I don't know, 100 figures when he cleaned out the attic at his parents house. I was heavily re-collecting Joes from my youth at this time, so this was beyond awesome. There was only one figure in the lot that I had absolutely no clue about, and it turned out to be Starduster (after ID'ing him on yojoe.com). I had never seen or heard of him and had no memory of him. The figure didn't seem to spectacularly cool or anything, so I threw him the pile that I was going to sell to my local comic shop (which included mostly 91-94 figures from my friend's box).
I haven't thought about the figure since then, until reading that blurb in the book. Now, I don't care that I sold, nor do I have any desire to try and acquire one now. I am just curious why people want it. I checked ebay, and am watching an auction for one now, with only his helmet, nothing else--and it is currently at $53. Seems wild to me.
