Heyyo to all my Joe Brothers, local and worldwide!
Thanks for checking the post. It's been a tough year for me, guys. Top to bottom. And though I've made it through the worst of it, there are still many, many more who have to fight. I don't know why I was picked to get healed up when there's so many others who deserve it, who need it more. But, I'm here and I've gotta get back to doing the things that make me alive. As I mentioned, I got officially cleared of some bad, bad news yesterday. I'd like to celebrate a bit by picking up some joes and maybe building some new ones again. I've had to put my collecting on hold for a while and had to liquidate a bunch of figures to make it. It was hard to do, but good thing I had them. The joes literally saved my life, guys. (That gave me some humor and perspective I couldn't stop laughing at, during some really low times. Yo JOE indeed!) Anyhow, now I'm looking to put some life back into this old carcass of mine. Like all of us, Joes mean a lot to me and are a pretty big part of who I am. For a while I've been away from that and the community of collectors who help to make that possible. I've literally had fever dreams about collecting again, and talking shop with a lot of the people I lost touch with when the depression funk started setting in hard. So, if anyone is looking to get rid of some of the figures I'm after. I'd really like to give them a new home. I also need a couple 50th Anniversary/POC General Hawks bodys, or figures, a bunch of Steel Brigade vests, random joe heads, and stands. Give me a hand finding these stuffs, guys. I know between us here, we can find almost anything! I'd much rather give my money to you guys, before giving it to ebay and mercs going for the cutthroat highest bidders, too. Oh, and I also have a 95% complete Toxo-Lab. All that's missing is the chair-gun, and little droppable mine-thingie. I have it in use with my Cesspool currently, but, I'd be willing to pass it along to a brother who needs it, if they could to help me out and find some of the more meaningful joes that I had to sell a while back. Yeah, In exchange for some help with my mission, I'd like to pass my Toxo-lab along to another brother who might be able to enjoy it like I have. I'll post pics if someone is interested. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking for the following. Complete as possible. Preferably loose because I open them and mess around with 'em. But, if they're only MOC I can't be picky: --25th Torch --25th Buzzer --25th Ripper --30th Gnaw (From the Dreadknoks 7-pack) --30th Road Pig (From the Dreadknoks 7-pack) --Joecon Zarana (Original Pink, as a priority.

Altitude (From the AoCI 7-pack) --Renegades Airtight --ROC Ice Storm (From the Polar Sharc boxed vehicle) --JoeCon T'Jbang. (2014 Joecon Zombie Initiative) --25th Roadblock v2 (Green Neon vest) --25th Televiper --25th Serpentor V6 (from the DVD Pack) --Joecon Nightforce Hit n' Run ( 2016 Joecon Nightforce) --Joecon Repeater (2016 Joecon Nightforce) --Joecon Spearhead & Max (2016 Joecon Nightforce) --SDCC Sgt. Slaughter (Original or TTT variant. I hated to sell these the most!) --Joecon MetalHead ( 2015 Joecon Tigerforce vs. Iron Grenadiers) --FSS Tollbooth --FSS Footloose (It sucked getting rid of him, I hope I can find him again) --FSS Dial Tone (Ditto) --FSS Desert Scorpion (Ditooooo) --FSS Nano Bat --FSS Rock n Roll v2 (I JUST SAW HIM! cooool) --FSS Dojo --FSS Interrogator --SDCC Constructicon Transformer BAT --FSS Rampart --30th Steel Brigade Delta (Came with the Vamp MKII Vehicle) --SDCC Scarlet v15 (2016, Transformers set) --Joecon Air Devil (2016 Joecon SkyForce/Project Downfall) --FSS Ambush --Joecon Freefall (2016 Joecon Exclusive) --SDCC/Online 50th Night Fox (SDCC 2015 Desert Duel Boxed Set) --30th Stalker --ROC Pit Commando --ROC Pit Trooper (Part of Attack on the Pit Boxed Set) --ROC Air Raid (From Sky Sweeper vehicle) --POC Double Clutch ( Pursuit of Cobra from Vamp Vehicle) --ROC Duke v33 (desert camo duke) --Joecon Python Trooper (2011 Joecon Mission Brazil) --ROC Jungle Assault Ripcord v5 --25th Python Patrol Viper (from X-30 Conquest, Target Exclusive) --POC Spirit (Pursuit of Cobra TRU Exclusive) --Resolute Beachhead --ROC General Hawk (From ROC Laser Artillery Weapon) --Stands of all sorts for customs. I need about 20. --Vests, hats, goggles, clothes, etc for customs. I'll take it all. --50th/POC General Hawk (I need like 5 of them for customs) --Steel Brigade Vests (I need at least 3) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you read this far, and were thinking of droppin' a congrats or anything... Thank you, truly. But I'd really rather you put those positive thoughts and energies out into the universe for everyone else who is sick out there. We still have a long way to go. It's not about me anymore. It's about everyone else still fighting Last edited by MikeEyes; 05-22-2018 at 10:06 AM.. Reason: Editing figures and toxo-lab bonus |

Hi MikeEyes, as a fellow cancer survivor, it’s awesome to see you interested in collecting again. I started collecting Star Wars figs again in ‘96, and Joes in 2010! POC is the greatest series Hasblow has ever released! Good luck and Yo Joe!

But, If you could use it, or need it for anything, or if it's something that can rebuilt and given new life... It's yours free of cost, just a hand getting it to you would be all that's needed. That's the only star wars stuff I have still from when I was a kid. (I could've sworn I had the ewok villiage husk, too, but I haven't ever been able to find it!) |

Heya, TK. Thanks Brother! Continued strength and all the best to you and yours. I have an old school, first run Millenium Falcon if you'd want it. It's by no means complete, is a bit old and discolored, and only the body of it, and the top panel piece. But, it has all it's landing gear yet. I don't know if Star Wars collecting can find any use in something like that, the way Joe collecting would (oof, I'd love to find a whale husk, like that, or, a hq husk and rebuild!).

I’m sure someone else here would want that nice piece. Continued strength to you as well! Take care! |
