I know what some of you are thinking. Get you mind out of the gutter. I am talking about when and what was your first Joe? I was 6 and if memory serves me right I got VAMP with Clutch back in 82'

I think I was around 12 when I saw the Joes and Got The Vamp w/Clutch, The MMS w/Hawk, Rock-n-Roll, and 4 Cobras Troopers and 1 Cobra Officer.

I got Flash at Christmas back in 82 or 83 and he would hijack my ATAT which I got the same Christmas.

Christmas of 82 was awesome.

I got the MOBAT with Steeler and the MMS with Hawk.

I would connect the MMS to the trailer hitch, and Steeler would transport the MMS to the battlefield.

My Aunt gave me the FANG, but no one gave me any Cobra troopers!!!!!

My first joes was the 83 Snake Eyes and Cobra Officer but unfortunately the Cobra Officer was missing his gun.

The Vamp with Clutch and Rock And Roll back in 82, Clutch is my favorite character, and Rock and Roll is the best figure ever made bar-none.

My first figure may have actually been Gyro Viper.

I don't remember the date, but I remember what & where: A tiny, non-descript model shop in Nantwich (I was on a family day trip to Wales during school holidays).

After months of searching I'd given up on finding the new Action Force range that featured Joe characters - nowhere local had them - then there right in front of me was the "Action Force Action Pack" with Duke, Ripcord, a Cobra Trooper and a CLAW in the one box.
I vividly recall that my hands were shaking - It was that significant a find!
