- Vehicle stickers with the color white in them. They always scratched easily and were very faded to begin with. I don't recall the early vehicles being like this, but I think the '86 and later ones were. Generally, most modern repros do this far better than Hasbro did originally.
- Missiles generally weren't interchangeable due to different mounting methods and size and should have been (Transformers had the same issue). I do like how almost all modern Transformers have standard 5mm peg holes so if you lose the weapon to your favorite toy, someone else can donate a replacement. With missiles on GI Joe vehicles, these were often lost and there weren't replacements available. I'm pretty sure my childhood Skystriker came from a garage sale and was completely stripped of missiles...and none of my other Joe vehicles could donate for it.
- Figures of main characters not available while still being featured in the cartoon. I think I started getting into Joes in 1984, meaning it was incredibly hard to find a basic Cobra Trooper on the pegs any more.
