My Newly Redone Joe Room

[jaimanstone]

This is about 70% of my collection. Much is in storage due to space issues.

TAKE A LOOK at my B/S/T list. I'm trying to complete my 82-94 run and could use your help!

You're 13,484 Vipers away from being cool.

Joe room fail.

[Unclassified]

nice, man..

[G.I.Spawn]

Nice set up

[solo0525]

Cool room

[Flint-wo2]

That rocks, you lucky guy.

[sjames90]

Great room!

[Nictus]

Fire fire fire you have 20 seconds to grab as much as you can!


Have fun with the nightmares ;)



Btw nice setup...you need something hanging from the ceiling...nonono shut UP yes you do.

[Gatchaman]

Yup....I'm jealous as hell.

[Barefoot Jedi]

Incredible vintage and modern ARAH collection!!!

I like your Flagg setup best of all!

And those poor Undertows' barracuda...are those for supper? ;)

[cmderinchief]

Nice website on the lappy Jared! ;)

[Sgt. Kayfabe]

Very Nice!

[ShockVal]

Next time I'm in the area, prepare for the pop in.

[TSgt Talon]

I likey. Good work

[villainsrule]

I've asked tankers before...wanna come over and have a war?!

[Beckley]

Wow, I had no idea you had such a stash!

Awesome!

[misfit1015]

That's a great setup Jared.

[Derek2783]

Dude, your collection is awesome both in size and scope.

The one thing holding it back are the shelves. A collection as nice as yours really deserves the limelight. Based on tour collection and the room itself, you probably have the scratch to make it happen Take the plunge and invest in some nice shelves or glass display cabinets. Trust me, it'll be well worth it and make your collection really shine!

[Woo-Dig-It]

very impressive! very nice pieces! well done!! The framed autographed filecards was a great idea, I should have thought of that a few cons ago when I saw those 3 together. You have a great build of Sky Hawks and Hiss Tanks. great job.

[vapor]

man im jelous, you have a hurricane vtol jet, i want one so bad.

[GGPiKE]

That is one great collection! Great display and organization ... plus the fact that it is ARAH is a HUGE plus in my book (looks a lot like my display ... no 25th!) I'd love to see more photos.

[jaimanstone]

You're 13,484 Vipers away from being cool.

Joe room fail.

Indeed. Sadly I'll never reach that number. Epic Steven D texted me yesterday and said he's up to 27,000 V1 vipers. He has them all and won't sell. Douche.

Fire fire fire you have 20 seconds to grab as much as you can!


Have fun with the nightmares ;)

Ugh, you bastard. Didn't sleep a wink last night. Getting fire sprinklers installed today.

Cobra Commander demanded sushi.

Nice website on the lappy Jared! ;)

Ha ha, thanks Gary. It happens to be my FAVORITE website!

Next time I'm in the area, prepare for the pop in.

Anytime you drunkard.

Yes.

No, scratch is DEFINITELY an issue. What you see there is 10+ years of careful collecting, waiting for good prices on ebay and lucky trades. Shelves are on the agenda for SURE, just can't afford them now.

The file cards are three of my favorite pieces for sure! I also had Larry, Bob and Kirk sign my USS FLAGG Turret, so I have an autographed FLAGG! I'm going to bring it to next year's con and have more joe people sign it.

The carded Keel-Haul is also signed by Bob Prupris (Keel-Haul was sculpted after him).

man im jelous, you have a hurricane vtol jet, i want one so bad.

One of my absolute favorite Joe items!

Thanks, I'm ARAH to the core. I love the ME vehicles, just have no interest in the figures. They're beautifully sculpted and highly detailed, just don't hold the same interest.

To everyone else, thanks for all the great comments!

[JLPYTHON]

Hey man - what are those tan/light brown Cobra troopers you have at the front of the table to the right of the Joe Headquarters? They look to me like some of the customs done by - and I am not sure about this - the Black Major - I believe? Very cool - and if you have more of those or close ups, I'd love to see them! Those original troopers o-ring troopers/officers are by far my favorite sculpts of all time. And if you felt like you had too many of them and needed to unload a couple, hit me up . . .

Yeah, they're the custom/bootleg troopers from The Black Major. All the ones I have were discontinued. There's a couple of different desert troopers in the mix. I also have the urban camo troopers, two different styles of black troopers and two RED SHADOWS troopers. I also have a VIPER PILOT. In addition I have a black crimson guard that has the hammer and sickle from the USSR as well as a black and red cobra Snake Eyes V1 (I'm going to do a file card for him).

Sorry, but I won't part with any of them because they were all gifts from a good friend.

They're expensive as hell on ebay if you can find them. Usually $25-$30 per figure.

I'll see if I can throw up a pic real quick.

[jaimanstone]

Okay, here's the troopers:

Urban Camo, Desert Camo, Tan w/ desert scorpion sigil and tan with regular sigil.

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll291/jaimanstone/CIMG0085.jpg

And here's the Soviet CG, black and red SE v1 cobra trooper and black and silver cobra trooper.

[Redredly]

very nice...I'm really digging the custom X-30

[Vulcan Raven]

Awesome collection J!!

Thanks for those pics! Yeah, those are just amazing customs/bootlegs. That guy's work is top notch - I really dig that CG with the hammer and sickle - very cool figure! He's done some Canadian/winter operations troopers in all white with a red Maple Leaf I believe on the chest; keeping my eyes open for 1 of those. Thanks again for the pics and this thread - great stuff!

[Akunin]

So thats where all those V5 H.I.S.S. tanks went!!

Very impressive collection. Wish I had something to offer that would help with your 82-94 run.

[Rambo]

Very nice display of precious O-ring gold.

Is that a batmobile besides the Rattler?

[Derek2783]

No, scratch is DEFINITELY an issue. What you see there is 10+ years of careful collecting, waiting for good prices on ebay and lucky trades. Shelves are on the agenda for SURE, just can't afford them now.


In that case I'm even more impressed. Ten years is a long time, an you've obviously worked carefully!

Also, let me echo the kudos on the signed FC's, those are awesome!

[07GT500 COBRA]

VERY nice collection, sir.

[fireflyguy]

Dude! This is a nice collection!

One quick questions? What is the vehicle on the top shelf on the far left?

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll291/jaimanstone/ParkandGIJOEroom060.jpg

[Gottomanytoys]

that looks like one of sgt slaughters marauders tanks

[jaimanstone]

very nice...I'm really digging the custom X-30

Thanks, one of my favorites.

Awesome collection J!!

Thanks VR!

Is that a batmobile besides the Rattler?

Yes, Kenner The Dark Knight Series. Made for 5" Kenner figures but it's actually Joe scale. I love it. Just waiting for the day when someone releases a 3 3/4 inch Keaton Batman figure.

In that case I'm even more impressed. Ten years is a long time, an you've obviously worked carefully!

Also, let me echo the kudos on the signed FC's, those are awesome!

It's been a long haul. Next to family, GI JOE is my number one passion and 0-rings are the all end all for me.

I actually have a second set of filecards signed by those three. The Keel-Haul carded figure is signed by Bob Prupris, who Keel-Haul was sculpted after.

One quick questions? What is the vehicle on the top shelf on the far left?

That would be my custom Oktober Guard MBT. The bottom half is all Mauler as I wanted the rubber tracks. I removed the motor/gear/battery assembly so that the tracks would move smoothly and freely. The upper half is the Salughter's Mauraders Equalizer. I painted it Olive Drab to match the tone/colors of the Oktober Guard. I really want to put some custom decals on it, Red stars and Russian writing. I think CDTWesal has a printing deal he's working on for that sort of thing.

Jaimanstone, have you posted that before? Now that I've seen these pictures, they look familiar. Awesome, btw!!!

Yeah, I posted it after I had finished it sometime last year. Thanks for the kind words!

[mr pawn]

not bad for a start, you stillneed 13,500 vipers and about 350 hiss tanks

[shawn]

very cool

[jaimanstone]

That goes without saying.

[Adamantite]

Everything looks great. Loved your framed stuff.
