What to do?

[Echo7Solo]

Ok I have had a near complete Flagg in my attic for a few years now and I'm having a hard time trying to decide what to do with it. I think I have enough room to put it in my garage right now but not sure if I want to do that or sell it. So what should I do?

[darthZartan]

Sell it. To me. Hella cheap.

[Echo7Solo]

you know every time I turn around sombody is wanting one or parts for one and I keep thinking to myself "I have that" Or "mine is just collecting dust" so the thought of selling it has crossed my mind many times. But on the other hand I've looked at people's pics of theirs and thought "man I should set mine up, that is so cool"

[esg2145]

set it up! I have a funny feeling you WON'T be sorry?

Got a wife or GF that won't give you grief over it?

No? DO IT!! :)

yeah I have a wife, a three year old girl and another little girl on the way. But I have a nice spot in the garage that I can put it in. It would rock. Regardless some time in the next week or two I'll have to get it down and see what all parts I'm missing if any. It was complete but that was before I moved into this house. I have a feeling once I set it up I'll want to keep it but if I don't like the way it fits at the very least I'll have pics for if I sell it.

What's up echo, I almost sold off some of my collection a few years ago. Looking back at the reason I was going to sell the stuff seems almost lame now and a huge relief that I didn't. I would say hold on to that bad boy, it's not like you can easily get another one if you change your mind. Obviously I don't know you outside of the GI Joe game but I think if you sell the Flagg you'll come to regret it. Get that thing out, set it up and I bet all thoughts of selling it will vanish.

you know I got rid of most of my old joe stuff about two years ago and there is little that I miss today. I miss my stinger, hiss and asp but that's about it.

I would keep it.

I would also set it up inside the house instead of in the garage. Besides the elements, that thing is too cool to hide in the garage. Do you have room to display it? I don't have one, so I don't know how huge they are.

[Echo7Solo]

no setting it up in the house would be much worse. My star wars collection has been banished to the garage long ago and as for the elements, where it is now would be worse than the garage plus inside I would have childeren messing with it. Not good.

[Vagabond Elf]

If you have a place to put it that is safe and acceptable to all who reside there - go ahead, set it up and keep it.

My approach to life is: when in doubt, do the revocable option. You can't unsell it. You can always undisplay it. So display it, until you know for certain what you want to do.

That's my 3 cents.

[MegaPrime33]

I say set it up and take pictures for us to see! :)

[apacolypse]

I agree.

I would set it up...check it out, reminisce about the times you enjoyed it. After taking all that in...then I would make the decision.

Also...not sure if you and your wife are planning on having any more children...but if you are, this is a great item to hand down to a son. I grabbed a complete one two years ago...and my son loves it, one day when he gets a bit bigger, he will own it.

[Echo7Solo]

yeah If I had a son I would keep it for sure but I have plans to build one much bigger and put it in my back yard. I never had one as a kid and got this one when I was in my early 20s and have set it up only twice. It was impressive both times but HUGE!

Well...going along with your plans then: What better way to replicate the original...than having an original to work from?

I'd keep it. In the long run...I think you will be glad that you did.

[Echo7Solo]

true, very true. But if I do sell I'm sure finding a buyer wouldn't be hard at all

agreed.

[darthZartan]

Keep it dude. Its like the holy grail!

Best advice yet!

I would love to have a Flagg just sitting around. I have never had one, let alone seen one in person. You should definitely hold on to it at least until you are sure you want to sell it. But if you don't, you will always have a piece of history. I hope one day i can get ahold of one to give to my son someday...

[Money-B]

I would love to have one of these. If at all possible, keep it. If you do decide to sell it and darthZartan was only joking when he called first dibs let me know, so that we can negotiate a price. So, that's the plan. Keep it, if you can or sell it to me. I hope that helps.
