1982 Catalog / Newsletter / Training Manual / Offer Inserts

Clutch · 10-21-2007, 07:28 PM

I recently obtained all my original Joe stuff from storage. I've been sorting though it and came across some early paperwork. Some of this stuff came in the first Joe Vehicles I got (HAL, Vamp, Mobat). Other items like the Newsletter and Training Manual came from my membership subscription.

Some of this stuff is unique. I think it offers an interesting insight as to how the original line was panned out when there was only 3 cobra's and a handful of Joes.

Also, I apologize for the pen and ink on some of the forms. I was only 7 when I got this and very excited to be in the club :p I didn't know any better
Oh, and I suck at scanning too :rolleyes:

Wow, thanks for those scans. Such memories they bring back. I can vividly remember sitting in my parents' living room just staring at that catalog. How lucky you are that you still have all of that.

By the way, good job on those puzzles!!

NICE!!!

I collect that stuff... just got a big lot of it on eBay.

I'm not sure if some of these are even on yojoe yet.

Great find. Thanks for the scans. Appreciated.

Thanks for sharing these. Really brought back those bygone days and why I jumped on to the 25th line...

Listen, Hasbro!! Now this would be a great way to celebrate the 25th Annivesary, do another version of these applying to the new figures. How awesome would that be?
