I swear I remember Hasbro doing a phone contest when the original GI Joe mini series 1st aired in 1982. You could phone in and answer a trivia question related to something that happened in the cartoon and then win free GI Joe toys. I also swear I remember a kid I went to school with being lucky enough to be the right caller and then he won a bunch of figures and I think even a vehicle or two. Does anyone else out there remember this or am I totally insane?

I vaguely remember something like that too. I remember my Mom wouldn't let me call because it was a waste of time

Wow am I glad I am not the only one who remembers this. Wouldn't it be cool if they did it again? Of course that would never happen.

It would be nice if they did it again, but hasbro doesn't want to give adult collectors anything for free. Not only was the Doc mail in not free, if you think about it, it cost extra
