Sweet can you share pics?
I wish I would've kept ALL my vehicles from my childhood. I sold them all at a yard sale when I was 10 because we were moving & trying to minimize stuff. It's something I regret still to this day. The only thing I kept was all my figures. And people wonder why I spend the money on factory sealed stuff to open... Short cut to the 1986 album, Raven is about half way down the page. https://www.flickr.com/photos/131988...57654012240761

I got some heat a while back for doing that. End of the day, these are toys.. and they're MY toys. I do what I want.

My older toys (82,83,84) had some damage/wear from playing out in the yard. They took a good amount of parts replacement and my own restoration technique. 85-on I sort of didn't want neighborhood girls seeing me play with them (I had a crush on half a dozen girls) so I only played inside. While I had some breakage on typically sensitive tabs etc. the later toys were not as dinged up. So I just worked my magic and had considerably less parts repair. I'm very happy with the results. As much as I appreciate my MiB Flagg, the satisfaction of a restored childhood toy is very, very rewarding.

Same thing, had a crush on a couple of the girls in my neighborhood so I kept my playing to the inside. Unbeknownst to me, my mother invited three of them to the house and they caught me watching TV with my G.I. Joes in battle set up in the living room floor. I had turned 13 and it was humiliating.

Just bought another graded Raven. It's my very first CAS purchase. Normally it's only either AFA or misb(to open)but these are getting harder and harder to find so I pulled the trigger.

Awesome. I'm curious what was the mold on the insiy? On the box or raven? Were you able to clean it?
