Man some of those dudes...Oof. Desperation and shame most def have a sent
Fun a search for "4th party MP-36 KO". YOu can find a good one for around 100 bucks. MP-36 has gotten nuts. I had a NECA figure like that once. The off-gasing cleared out my office. I bet it's the PVC missiles.

I'm looking for some file cards and I know others are too! Better than just throwing them out or recycling them!

But seriously, that does suck they arrived still smelling like that. Am I weird though and kind of like that new toy smell that smells like paint , new plastic and chemicals? lol This sounds like yours was really bad though. They should be able to air out after a bit of time right?

Check out bricklink.com
You can get an idea of how much your instructions might be worth. If it's a rare or popular vintage set, it could be worth something. See set below. $125 bucks for an instruction booklet. Granted, you need someone who wants to pay that, and I purposely found one that was rare / worth a lot. At the very least it's worth looking into before you toss it.

Where does one find those, should my resolve break? (I have a lot of terrific high end custom ones of people who'd never get made by REAL Lego... like Big Lebowski, Pinhead, Walter White, Hulk Hogan, and lots more...they're pretty expensive but cool!)

Can't really blame brick and mortar for not carrying these. I can't imagine many kids having an attachment to GI Joe, so they'd be relying on having enough adult collectors in that Walmart's area. My local has the same shit every time. The shooters I returned were still there after a month.

We would be seeing a lot more variety if Hasbro hadn't bought Kenner, etc. and Walmart/Target hadn't driven out all the smaller chains and mom and pop toy stores. Yes, technology is part of this too, but we all know about that. ANYWAY, love to see the TF and Lego/Kreo talk! I love all that stuff. It's too bad they didn't give Kreo a BIT more of a chance. The sets were mostly meh but the minifigs were super cute! Would have liked to have seen more of them, we are missing a lot of characters. I love Lego and used to get a lot of the SW stuff, etc. but it got a big crazy... tbh I kind of got burned out on that similar to what we talked about with Sideshow and Hot Toys before - too many "new and improved" versions that you feel compelled to keep up with... But I do have a really nice Classic Space collection and I will buy any new sets that come under that theme, like the recent Galaxy Explorer they redid, or Benny's Spaceship from the movie a while back. TFs can get crazy too so I cut back quite a bit... used to be into the 3P MPs a lot, I need to sell off a bunch of stuff still but my ex-wife is still being a royal PITA, keeping a lot of my stuff to put pressure on me to give into other areas, ugh... it's a bit of a nightmare, she has a lot of my vintage Joes still too. But yeah, hopefully I will end up keeping a small selection of them at least.

All of that stuff is worth bank including the old fold out catalogs that came with vehicles sometimes, w/figs in poses and such all of that stuff goes for stupid money , it doesnt hurt that the pandemic brought out a lot of fanboys and people that collect for the sake of buying stuff and going hog wild in an attempt to look like they've been collecting for life .
