I found out a college buddy of mine was selling some 25th Joes and his other business partners at a local Flea Market. He had a bunch of old stuff and 25th he even had an 83 HISS missing the top cannons but still functional. He wanted 10 but my friend saw me making the deal and he told the guy drop it down to 7. I told him hold onto it I will be right back. As soon as me and the missus were about to leave I find a lady selling baby toys, produce, clothes etc in her stand and in a bin of baby toys popped out was an 82 Vamp missing the top guns, steering wheel, and decals. I asked the lady how much she said "Dollar" I paid her went back to get the HISS they saw the Vamp and I said "would y'all consider a trade?" So they took the Vamp I took the HISS and I carefully removed the red decals and applied on 25th HISS now it looks better than the white snake decals. Also managed to pick up a Fang Pilot and Sgt Stalker for 2 bucks a piece.

I would have kept the Vamp and bought the HISS. Good find. I have yet to ever find any Joes at a flea market or yard sale.

That's what I am looking forward to this year as the 25th line is drying up, kids will be moving on to other things and I should find them at sales. I find Star Wars all the time. I very seldom find any obscure toy lines (MASK, Thundercats, etc) but mainly Transformers, Hulk, whatever else was the recent toy line at the time.

Only reason I wanted the HISS to get the decals from 83 one to put on new one and did not want to spend 7 bucks on one w/o guns and as for the VAMP already have the 25th and a custom Stinger from 84 made to look like the Cobra MSV. Plus Vamp was missing a lot of parts compared to HISS so I figured I got a great deal. Plus just got decals off Old Hiss today they came off as smooth as butter now they are on the 25th one I have and they look great.

Plus you now have a HISS shell to make an easy custom without having to worry about sinking a bunch of cash into a good one. |
