Hi:
I've been at this now quite sometime, my Joe addiction started with my very first Bridge Layer at age 8 (which I still have) and lately I've picked up on my collection with a flagg a terrordrome and some other very cool stuff that I won't bother you guys with. The real point of this post is to hear from you guys what are those super elusive items that we all want to have but there's not enough money to buy them, I'll start: 1982 Missile Command HQ 1983 Falcon & Viper gliders 1987 Defiant |

The Defiant continues to elude me, but I'm ok w/ that.
You need a few grails to make collecting fun. It's also too big, and I don't have the space, and really don't want my wife to divorce me for purchasing one. The really tough stuff is pretty much anything international. If you stick w/ the domestic stuff, Starduster is a tough one to find, Heavy Duty w/ accessories (mic), Dusty w/ Bi-pod is not as common but still tough to find an original bi-pod, Night Force anything is difficult, particularly complete, Python Patrol is becoming pricier since the Con box set came out, and I would say any of the mail-away vehicles that are off-colored in any way, are difficult to find.

for me its the special mail in figures. Bought Sgt Slaughter recently. Had the repaint of Super Trooper in 90, wish i had the original. Would have liked to own a Fridge figure.

The Flagg and defiant is pretty easy to find. It's the problem of finding them complete and having the space for them. I think whe. It comes down to it, everything is pretty much only a click away unless you want it misb. As for the loose stuff, it's all there but to get it complete is rare

Collecting since 97. Took me till 2010 to get myself a new Gold Head Steel Brigade and untill 2012 to get another WHALE. Both of these were favorite toys when I was a kid. Unfortunatly, my child hood WHALE was lost, and my childhood GHSB was broken. Now, I am trying to complete the ROC set and a lot of the 25th figs and vehicles. Am searching for the following vehicles and Figs: MOBAT (ARAH (MLC) and 25th (MOC), 25th and ARAH Alpine and Bazooka (MOC 25th or MLC ARAH) as well as MLC Defiant. Have an excess of 30th troopers to trade or will pay a reasonable price.

Now, my Terror Drome is finally coming home next week, 100% complete, nothing broken, with the original dark colored Firebat and AVAC, this one went for 350, which feels reasonable seeing the prices out there today for this perfect drome... On top of that I have a 100% Mauler, Tomahawk, Moray, 1983 HQ, Tactical Platform, pretty much all the 1982 collection except the missile HQ plus a WHALE and some other goodies like a mint in bag Fridge and a Steel Brigade version D |

If we exclude international:
Figure: Jc penny cobra three-set. Vehicle: mail away stinger and bright firebat. That's it for me, all the rest I see enough for sale. The other redbacks from the early series are also though to find but those cobra's are a real pain. |
