I always loved that Hasbro included the contents (accessories) that each of the Joes/Cobras came with on the cardfronts (usually under the plastic where it attached to the card) back in the day with the weapons called out by name most of the time. I actually miss that now. They also often named which weapons a certain Joe or Cobra was expert on the filecards.
It was because of that I knew a heck of a lot about Nato/Warsaw weapon systems long before I ever handled the real versions. I always thought that was an awesome detail that GI Joe had that most other toys didn't.
Troynos actually mentioned this in a different thread (man that guy's good!) - I couldn't agree more. I really miss that detail and I wish yojoe.com had archived that info as well.
