86 that, I just read up on it but YoJoe must have it wrong. My cousin had gotten the one with the green door/semicircle cut out the November before Christmas of 84, I had gotten mine a month later for Christmas of 84 and mine had the solid grey door. According to Yojoe, that solid grey door was a prototype? I'll have to go through my scrap WHALE parts and see it I still have the solid grey door.

Missile box arms are usually very worn or broken.They are pretty fragile.
I ended making my own out of some model kit trees (very sturdy, and look stock ).

What's the 3rd one? I knew there was the diamond plate textured early one with the half circle cut out of the to center of it, and the later one with that was just solid flat black/dark grey.

I'll have to bookmark this thread as I'm in the market for a WHALE and always wanted one as a kid. Most Ebay auctions I see now seem to ignore pics of the sled door and talk about completeness, not condition....

I recently restored one (as best as I could) and I was amazed at how fragile that damn thing is. It's amazing any of them got out alive.

It always irritated me that the sticker for the mini-bike headlight was red, and the taillight was white.

The one thing I wish I never sold out of my vintage Joes was my Whale. :( Mine was mint and I was the one who took it out and assembled it back in 2005 or so.

What irritated me was the sticker placements on some of the blueprints. The instructions have the ":R" on the side of the bike upside down, but on the blueprints they're correct. I followed the blueprints as it seemed correct. Another question regarding the sled door, did the mail away version come with the solid one? I picked one up last year and that was the version I got.
