All of them but Keel-Haul until 87. Until ebay I missed quite a few drivers. I skipped Slaughters Marauders, half of Tiger Force and Python Patrol, and Sky Patrol for some reason.

It's easier to list who I DIDN'T have from 82-87, which was my era-
1982-Scarlett, Stalker, Snake Eyes, Flash (guess I wasn't big on the obvious characters) 1983-Airborne (not sure why...this was when I got hooked) 1984-mail-in hooded CC 1985-Keel Haul (mom drew the line at the Flagg..lol) 1986-Hawk V2 (again, not sure why....) and mail-in Fridge (thought it was dumb....only liked Sgt.Slaughter because I liked wrasslin) 1987-Dress Blues Gung Ho (no weapons, boring!), Sneak Peek, Croc Master, Cobra-La, Renegades, BF2000, mail-ins(you can see I'm growing out of Joes slowly but surely) I bought a single 1988 figure, Iron Grenadier, in a farewell gesture to my toy-playing youth. Skateboards, guitars, and girls beckoned for the next 20-something years. |

I was still a huge Star Wars fan back in 1982 when my dad brought home the entire first wave of G.I. Joe figures. I was amazed at how much better these figures moved than all my 5POA Star Wars figures. This was also before swivel-arm battle grip! The first figure he gave me was Snake Eyes. Collected Joes for the next few years. Even when Transformers came out, G.I. Joe was still #1 with me. My 6 year old is just now starting to get into G.I. Joe. We are starting to build up a small collection of ME figures. Well here are the figures I had growing up...
(little help from YoJoe.com, so I don't forget anyone!) Snake Eyes Breaker Flash Grunt Rock n' Roll Scarlett Zap Short Fuze Stalker Clutch Steeler Cobra Soldier Cobra Officer Cobra Commander Destro Major Bludd Viper pilot HISS driver Airborne Doc Gung Ho Snow Job Torpedo Tripwire Ace Wild Bill Duke Blowtorch Mutt Recondo Ripcord Roadblock Spirit Cutter Hooded Cobra Commander Zartan Stinger driver Wild Weasel Copperhead Firefly Baroness Scrap Iron Storm Shadow Lampray Torch Ripper Buzzer Tomax Xamot Snow Serpant Eels Crimson Guard Bazooka Airtight Barbecue Dusty Flint Footloose Lady Jaye Shipwreck Crankcase Sgt. Slaughter (mail-in) Beachhead Dial-Tone General Hawk Iceberg Lifeline Leatherneck Low-Light Mainframe Roadblock (v2) Sci-Fi Wet Suit Cross Country Lift Ticket The Fridge Strato Viper Serpentor Zandar Zarana Viper Monkeywrench Dr. Mindbender BAT Big Boa Cobra Commander (v3) Croc Master Crystal Ball Raptor Techno-Viper Golobulus Nemesis Enforcer Royal Guard Chuckles Crazy Legs Falcon Fast Draw Gung Ho w/ Dress Blues Jinx Law and Order Psyche-Out Sneak-Peek Tunnel Rat Mercer Red Dog Taurus Storm Shadow (v2) Shockwave Iron Grenadiers Snake Eyes (v3) Night Creeper As you can see, I wasn't really into G.I. Joe the last few years, but picked a figure every once in a while if I saw something cool. |

1982: All except Steeler. Funny story - I had bought Snake Eyes, Flash and Scarlett, then my best friend came home from Florida with all of the first wave including the vehicles, except Scarlett. He was desperate to get her from me, but I wouldn't give her to him. I eventually traded a bunch of Star Wars figures for Stalker, Breaker, Grunt, and Rock and Roll.
1983: All except the HISS driver and the glider pilots. 1984: All of them 1985: All except Keel Haul and Lamprey. 1986: All except the BAT and AVAC. Another time that I traded with my friend, this time it was some Transformers to get Lifeline. 1987: All but Payload, Hardtop, Backstop, Gyro Viper, and WORMS. 1988: All except Star Viper, Secto Viper, Road Pig. 1989: All but Long Range and the Condor pilot, as well as Payload. 1990: All but the vehicle drivers1991: All of them 1992 &1993: I don't remember exactly who I had, but I do know I had Beach Head, Roadblock, Night Creepe r Leader, Leatherneck, the DEF, some Ninja Force and Star Brigade1994: Didn't have the Viper, Dial Tone, and Metal Head. |

I was lucky, I had every figure and vehicle until 1987 when I stopped playing with them.

I had every figure from 1982 to 1987. Started losing interest once 1988 came around. Sold all my Joes to a neighbor kid for $200. I treated myself to a movie. My mom took me to see Coming to America. Wow, what year was that? 1988? So I got out of Joes at the age of 14.

the stinger is the first joe item i penned up. loved it always and the driver was my favorite cause i didn't have a blue shirt.
i remember opening the crimson twins pack, and buzzer and torch for christmass in my stocking… the transportable tactical battle platform was my favorite plaset. and i loved some of the smaller vehicles like the night landing, ferret, trouble bubble, asp etc. whale, night raven, hydrofoil, tomahawk, conquest… i had a bunch of awesome stuff and most figures from 1984-1986 it seems. i believe my last figure was the iron grenadier.
