I cant beleive this!!!!

[chabbio]

I was leaving the house today to go and wash my truck that I'm selling today. I go down the street and see a box in front of a neighbors house 3 doors down. I stop and to my surprise this is what I see!!!!! I know its not complete but sure is cool none the less. My son pooped his pant a little I think!!! I do not have room for this in the house so I will be looking to trade if anyone is intrested. I will be posting more pics in a bit.

Thanks,

Chad

Dude, seriously what are the odds?
It looks like most of the large parts are there though. Missing all the little stuff but thats all easy to come by on ebay.

Im deffenetly interested. More pics when you can please.

[crock master]

pretty cool, even looks clean

[tkprime]

Congrats on your find, that's how I found a terrordrome WAY back in 98!

[jmc2915]

it is so clean it looks straight from the factory

[Raw Dog]

That's cool dude. Are you friends with your neighbor? Maybe he has more wicked awesome Joes he's getting rid of. Anyway, congratulations on the find. It's sweet!

[codenameflint]

Very nice! I thought I was lucky when I find one locally on Craigslist. This is one heck of a find.

[ShadowNinja]

damn bro very nice. I always hope for something like that. Around my house with all the scavengers that come by looking for crap like old appliances and stuff you would be lucky to find something. Congrats.

WTH man? Y'all just find awesome Joe stuff on the side of the road?! :D


nice score, dude!!!

[DaveViper]

You won the Flagg loto, nice find I dream about going to a garage sale and finding something like this. This is a toy hunters wet dream. Congrats man.

[The Batman]

Damn that sucker is white! Nice find!

[camper]

You chose... Wisely....

[solid.wii]

Nice haul...too late to buy the lotto?

[chabbio]

Here it is. Like I said not complete but a damn good start. What do you think its worth. If you have any offers please pm me. I cant imagine what this would cost to ship.

[figureware]

Wow! This is crazy...congrats! How come this kinda stuff never happens to me !

[DaveViper]

Here it is. Like I said not complete but a damn good start. What do you think its worth. If you have any offers please pm me. I cant imagine what this would cost to ship.

Shipping on average $150 in the U.S

[DaveViper]

Hey did you happen to ask the backstory was the guy the original owner, I assume he was. Did he know what he was sitting on? Did you have to haggle. Come on man you just scored so time to tell the details...

wait a minute are you saying this was just sitting in front of the house out on the curb like the weekends trash????

[chabbio]

No haggle or anything. It was in a box on the side of the road like it was left there for the garbage. My son went to the door and asked what he was doing with it and he said if you want it it's yours. I know it sounds crazy but thats the Gods honest truth. I never would have thought in a million years this could or would happen. I didnt pay a dime for it. I wish I could keep it but we dont have the room. I dont want to just box it up.

Dam wish you had the room,it could be a lot of fun for you and your son to play with.

[KENNY GUIDO]

i can sure use a couple of parts from it!

[Raw Dog]

Yeah, you and your son should play with it before you get rid of it. That'd be sweet, and I bet you guys would have a blast. Where do you live? I'll come over and play too. That would be the bomb!

[chabbio]

Hell yea come on over and we can have a blast!!!! I'm really thinking about buying a shed to put all the joe stuff we have. Thats not a joke I was just on the Lowes website. My son really wants to keep it but his room is so full of Joes now we dont have any room left!!!!

Get the shed dude. I have one and it's filled with old toys. I've been considering getting a second shed or like device to accommodate even more toys I would like to store. But yeah, you should definitely find a way to keep it, especially considering that your son likes it. It's a Flagg dude, keep it!

[Lantern_Lad]

I have to agree... keep it. Most of the expensive (to ship) parts are there... the stuff you need will cost you, but the shipping on all of it will be much lower.

[Raw Dog]

I want to find a pristine Flagg in the trash.

[Christoph]

Wow that has to be the sickest find.

[OSOK]

hey guys

someone stole a flagg from outside my house, i set it near the street while i ran in for a second

please contact me if anyone hears something

[Magick]

Nice find!.. definitely could use dome of those parts to replace the ones that were destroyed in the flood we had awhile back. Haven't tried to find replacement parts for it. Pretty much need everything pictured.. LOL Water and sun damage is a bitch here in Texas.

[FLINT YOJOE]

i can sure use a couple of parts from it!

oh stop it.. u found like 3 of them in the past month... ur lucky too... lol... u cleaned it all up...

CHABBIO ... great find dude... wish I were closer... it would be out of ur hands...

[Raw Dog]

Lol, I was thinking the same thing when I first entered the thread, but he did send his son to the front door to get permission before taking it. Can you imagine if no one had claimed it? It would be in some landfill now, lol!

[FLINT YOJOE]

Can you imagine if no one had claimed it? It would be in some landfill now, lol!

Can you imagine how many FLAGG's did end up in a landfill... very sad... but stories like this are priceless...

[Raw Dog]

I know, right? I don't even want to think about it. I've never had one and would love one. I'm just really glad he was able to rescue one and that his son really likes it.

[codenameflint]

The look on kids faces when they see the Flagg are priceless. When we went to buy mine my sons eyes bugged out of his head and I swear his jaw hit the ground.

[Lody]

Pretty bare bones. You might get $100 for it

[youdoitimbusy]

one mans trash is another mans treasure.

[Superjoe74]

Awesome find!

If you don't want it and collecting the other pieces is not an option for you then you might consider parting it out and listing it on Ebay.

[bassistcarlos]

Dude, keep it! Get your son some bunk beds. He can sleep on the top bunk and you can make the Flagg fit on the bottom. when you start running out of space in a room, you gotta build upward.

[Indiana Joe]

Wow

[SuperSweetness]

Omfg that's awesome! Hella lucky! I payed out of my bunghole for one!

[Falcone]

The odds of finding a Flagg in a box on the curb for trash pickup is staggering. Think how close this Flagg was to going to the dump, never to be seen or played with again.

[Uninvited Ghost]

April Fools?

[ilzuccone]

I hope you bought a mega millions lotto ticket on your way home.

[ShockVal]

That wasn't put out for trash. It bounced out of the back of my truck. I just wasn't sure where at. Can I come by and pick it up?

[KENNY GUIDO]

thats luck!!!

[rdodger]

This is the kind of thing we dream about. I would keep it. Who knows? Maybe you will find the rest somewhere.

[MaulEyes]

Awesome find.
You don't need to get rid of it, A shed you are looking for, go to a home improvement business, move along...

[CVdelgado]

someone has got some powerful good karma.

[Waspinator]

Luckiest fan in the world! Congrats on the amazing find!

[Joe Fan 1]

Amazing find! Congrats on being so lucky and rescuing that Flagg from the dump! That will be a great back story for whoever you give this Flagg to.

[dtm1971]

dude keep it fix it up and enjoy it. the easy buck is not worth the mornig the what could have been for you and your son in hours of fun... You can join this group on here. USS FLAGG owners, UNITE !

[chabbio]

Thanks for all the comments. I am really thinking about keeping it. I guess I'm going to look at sheds. My son has over 300 figures and tons of vehicles. I can't stand the toys being packed up and put away. They were made to be played with and for people to look at. Everything we have is on display and my son loves playing with them.

[Viper6]

lets pull together and help this guy complete his restoration! im sending him a gun turret complete and a crane base if he needs it. hook him up in the free stuff pay it forward thread...lets do this.

[Jettfire]

Your karma must be impeccable. This is as close to winning the GI Joe lottery as anyone is ever likely to hit.

Congrats!

[pig iron grenadier]

good gracious!

[CrimsonGuard101]

What is this shenaigans? lol i love the way the box says "GI JOE ship"...thats classic material right htere...

[spiderpumpkin]

It could have said GI Joe Workbench.

[KENNY GUIDO]

or "gi joe shit"

[chabbio]

Viper6 you are the best. I cant thank you enough for all your help. All of you guys are great!! My son is very happy and says thank you to all.

[Mesopic]

I would keep it for the story on how you got it. Just like the guy in the thread that found his in his old burned up home.

http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-toys-vintage-discussion/142351-my-flagg.html

[chabbio]

We are gonna keep it. My son is all worked up about restoring it. I will be getting a nice shed to display all of his collection. Piece by piece we will get it to 100%
