I would get everything... then be pissed off when I saw them reissued a year later with swivel arms and thumbs not made of hard, breakable plastic. just like what happened to most Joe lovers like myself in the mid 80's. if a kid tried to slip you a straight arm fig in a trade... he'd get a black eye. I passed on the missile base because it was cardboard.... and I'd sell one now A.S.A.P. because that may be the 2nd biggest rip off toy since the ET Atari game that didn't work

I would buy one of everything and then troop build the cobras and maybe even Grunt.

I also would bet my entire collection against everyone at school's collections that NC State would win the whole tourney thing. every kid's dad would have forced them to do it!

I'd be 9 all over again???? I'm sure I'd do it the same exact way....cut a lot of grass and wash a lot of cars and still only manage one of each.
If I was the age I am now and it was 1982 I wouldn't be buying toys...what do you think I am some kind of f#*kin' loser? |

I would sell naked pics of my mom for money to fund my collection. Then I would blackmail my dad with the pics of him and my babysitter so he would take me anyplace I wanted to go, night or day, to hunt for Joes. I have thought about this for years. Hindsight is always 20/20. (But looking back, it's still a bit fuzzy)

I would buy more vehicles and playsets ( terrordome). I always looked at it from a money point of view even as a kid. Do I want 1 vehicle or 2 or 3 more figures? Figures almost always won out.
I would also tell myself not to smoke weed, don't ride skateboards ( bad joint problems due to ignorant stunts), and that girls are the bane of existance! |
