Uss Flagg!

[FreddyTV]

I found this pic today lol. Oh how I wish I still had it sealed in that box. This was back in either 86 0r 87 I cant recall. All I know is that it was a good B-Day!

That is one happy kid. I never had the uss flagg, but if i did i would post a picture of how happy i was too. Wow talk about a really big happy birthday...

[FreddyTV]

I wish I still had it dude! All I remember is that little by little parts started to go missing. Who knows maybe Hasbro will bring it back now with the 25th Anniversary line LoLoLoL! Highly doubt that.

Don't feel bad, i lost parts to every vehicle i ever had..lol. If they ever did rerelease the flagg, i would have an argument with my wife on where to put it, but it would be so worth it...

[RedEyes]

Man, I never got that as a kid! I used go down the block to my friends house who had one, and would spend the whole day playin with it. Ahh, the good ol days!

[tarheels]

my parents said that was to big and no where to put it. So I bought one a couple of years back and now my girlfriend yells at me to find a place to put it.

[xhairs]

man you were a good boy i never had one.

[VandalSavage]

I never had one as a kid, but later in life picked one up...Now I just need the space to set it up and display it.

Mr. Savage

[Shogi]

I never even saw a Flagg in real life until 2003 and that one was painted up as a Transformer!

BTW What's the box on the other side of you? It sorta looks like Inhumanoids, but I can't tell for sure

[Blackdragon]

I never had one as a kid. My parents prob thought it was way too expensive and too big. A few years back i saw one on ebay for a buy it now of $100 plus 50 shipping and handling for a mostly complete flagg. So i bought it on impulse. Went to the bar that night with a smile on my face and got silly drunk. All i thought of the whole night was that i was getting a flagg. Was so curious how big it actually was and its friggin huge!!! My favorite toy by far.

Im not sure. If I remember correctly it was like some electronic truck with animal claws or something. Not too sure tho.

What a deal, for $150.00. It's looks good, no yellowing.

[GHOST1]

I really wish Hasbro would release the Flagg since i never got one as a kid. I got money now to be able to get one. Of course they would also need to release the Skystriker to go with it too.

Dude that things as big as you!

[Danja]

I'd love a USS Flagg, but I think I'd love a house big enough to store it in more.

[Ewokhunter92]

Still have my original, of course you can tell by the fading, peeling. But who cares, it still looks good for something I played with roughly when I was a kid

[RolandofGilead]

The Flagg is something I didn't bother even dreaming about owning. It was just too huge, too expensive, and too much of a toy in a house where my step-father hated all toys.

Instead I set up my extra bunk as the Flagg. I strung out christmas lights across the top for landing lights (there were lots of night landings), and the Tactical Battle Platform was the command center. The bed also doubled as a dresser so the three drawers underneath housed all the other vehicles and figures.

Boy was I a dork.

[tuan_tran73]

Wow! 7.5 feet long. Maybe I can convince my wife to get one of this monster as a dining table also...lol

[thefan]

I have 2 in my collection right now. I have had 5 of these so far in my days. I normally can snag them for 300.00 shipped 98% complete. Just need patiance on ebay and I surf a lot of 3rd party forums

Defenately one of the centerpieces of my collection.

[topnotch97]

i wish BBi or FOV release a 1:18 Aircraft Carrier. :D

man i'm gonna be so stoked if that ever happens. :D LOL!!!!

5!!! Holy Shiiit!!! I wish I could just have 1. I blew an awesome score this week on Ebay. Found 1 @ $300, added it to watched items to check what else the seller might have. 2 minutes later it was sold. Damn the luck.

I totally agree!!! I asked for one as a kid and got a train set. It was a cool train set but I wanted a Flagg!!LOL
I can see it now... the centerpiece of my Joe collection in it's own room.
C'mon Hasbro hook us up!

[chickenbroth]

If they ever did re-release the Flagg I would buy 2! Then I would be at a lawyers office taking care of my divorce papers. (small price to pay for such an awesome toy)

J/K....she would be mad, but it wouldn't come to that. Now if I bought 3 of them, thats another story.

[flash70]

I love the FLAGG I got mine about five years ago...man what great piece!!!

[tkprime]

Hasbro had a winner when they gave us the FLAGG!

Now I'd love to see them do it again.

Hey Master Collector, give us the FLAGG in 4 theatre pieces. like you did with those sets last year.

[Blueman]

^^^^^

What he said!!! I would so be all over that!! That's a great way to get one without breaking the budget.

[Irid70]

I love the Flagg. You love the Flagg. We all love the Flagg. We all need to let our dreams of a new Flagg go 'cause it ain't happenin'.

[xhairs]

^^^ what he said its sad but true.

[Deefuzz]

I always wanted one of those. They are so huge and so awesome!

That is a spectacular marketing idea! Sell each piece with a figure in a diorama scene.
Then they could sell accessories like machine gun nests separately etc.... Hasbro! Get on it!

[General Scarlett]

I love mine.......I don't know how I went so long without it......

http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o47/PrncsLeia/GI%20Joe%20Pictures/DSC00771.jpg

I'd be all over another one from bbI.......I mean, come on, the Joes need more than 1 aircraft carrier!!!

[mckeesportpaguy]

I actually see Hasbro making this, I'm sure they have the mold somewhere, and can charge 150-200 dollars easily, it would sell.....

Where do we start a petition??

[Ewokhunter92]

They already said they could not justify making it again as it would retail for $300-500 and no store would cary such a "toy".

One it would take up too much space and the fact that a $300 "toy" would not sell to kids, who Hasbro says they market for.

The ONLY way this would work is for Hasbro to sell it direct at a Joe Con or something.

[Viper_486]

I'd buy a second one for that price, specially if it was new and minty.

[mckeesportpaguy]

500??? Did it not retail for 100 originally? Joes sold for 3 dollars, and now they are 5 to 6....

even for 250 I'm sure they could sell this item, and yes I would even pay 300....I'm in line already.

[topnotch97]

if Hasbro does have plans to make it, and plans to sell it via online. my question would be: "how much is the shipping?" it's like shipping a box of butterscotch pony.

[ceraurus]

i wish BBi or FOV release a 1:18 Aircraft Carrier. :D

man i'm gonna be so stoked if that ever happens. :D LOL!!!!

HA!! That'd be awesome! Of course, it would be 60 feet long, but I could make room for that. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif

man I love my USS Flagg to. infact I sleep next to it every night.. hmm I wonder why my wife left me.. Oh well she never brought me as much pleasure as my uss flagg has.

[Viper_486]

^ what he said.

[deanhp]

damn dude. sweet collection.

[Blackdragon]

I too am curious about this :D

[tkprime]

Never say Never, Cause when the movie happens Hasbro could issue whatever they wanted and the stores would take it!

[Viper_486]

Dude.
Wow... just wow.
Let me be the first (unless someone posts before me) to say you rock!

[BigErn]

That is seriously impressive man, congratulations on an awesome collection.

BTW if anyone's interested there's a Flagg on Ebay that I've been watching, I don't know I might make a move.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170190027742&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007

SIx days left and it's already over $200 hmmm.

[Viper_486]

I am pretty lucky.
I got mine in trade for a wearable Cobra Viper helmet.
Only way I could have afforded one.
Its yellowed out, but is just about complete (and nothing an airbrush and some haze grey cant fix)
Cant display it yet, am in the process of rennovating my new toy room.

[Reznor]

Ive been talking to my friends, and asking what theyve done with their old GI Joe collections, because I was starting to collect again. One of my good friends called me about an hour before the bowl game and told me he found a lot of his stuff, and would give me most of it for free, since theyve been in an attic for several years, except he said he couldn't just give me that big ship thingy...
I bout freaked out.

Yes, he's got a Flagg. He doesn't know whats there or whats missing yet, its still buried under other boxes of stuff in his dads attic, but he said he would sell it to me for a good price, since he knows its worth a little!

I never have seen one at all, never in my 28 years. My god....I may be getting a Flagg soon!!!!

You look so cute. :)

[FreddyTV]

Now that I look at it...I kinda had a He-Man haircut going there.

[Jambi]

That picture says it all, that smile explains why we are all still here now.

[paraviper]

That's a cool pic. You look happy as a pig in *hit! I never had a Flagg as a kid. Although I have one now. I have a picture from my brithday party in 1987 with me holding a boxed Cobra Maggot grining from ear to ear. Those were good times. Thanks for sharing.

Yup lol good 'ol 80s

[Jasf316]

I remember asking for one for christmas and my parents pretty much laughing at me. SO that summer I mowed the hell out of some lawns and then a friend of mines mom took me to get it and when I showed up at home with it I was the one laughing. Then I had it promptly taken away because I "didn't ask permission to get it" but I still have it and its right behind me now HAHAHAHAHA mom and dad.

[Unclassified]

i only knew one cat that had the flagg. he had the dragonfly as well.. i wish my ma could of afforded that shit. even though it would of gotten demolished in my house, we had a big family an lots of fights, cops showing up in the middle of the night due to my brothers drinkin' or my pops in trenton drunk deciding it was a great idea to show up at my crib to kick down the door an beat a few ppl up, an i had a real messy room an always had to share the room with someone..

[CobraElite]

Those were the days.... I can remember myself.

[awatalent]

I had one when I was a kid and that sucker is huge. I can not begin to tell anyone who has never seen this thing to understand how big it is. I still have it opened in a old box out on my Aunts porch. But finding it out there, I would need Recondo. One day I hope they rerelease it. So one yesterday was saying that they thought they were. But just like everyone else, where would I put it. Still if it comes out I'm buying and I'll build on to my house a special room if I gotta. Some things are just sacrid.

[arashikage_ninj]

I got my Flagg in 85....Christmas. When I opened the box, I still remember my father's words:

"This may take awhile."

I still have it, even though it takes up most of my "Joe room". I am missing a few parts, and it's chipped, because my friend once took my Rattler and shot down a Skystriker. HE THREW THE PLANE ONTO THE TOWER!

[psycho_klown66]

I never even saw the Flagg until I bought mine a year ago.

I never even saw a video clip or pic of it until 2 years ago.

I was in a poor neighborhood growing up. :(
