I’m writing this because I’m just wondering if anybody else had this happen to them. Picture it Christmas 1982, and topping most kids want list is GI Joe. I really wanted the Mobat Tank and I believe that was all I asked for. Anyway, Christmas morning I did not get the Mobat, but I did get the Ram, Rock n Roll, and Breaker. Then I got Remco's Sgt. Rock’s Jeep and a Raft with figures, and I was thinking to myself what the heck is this crap? I guess my parents thought the Sgt. Rock toys were GI Joe. But I wasn’t totally disappointed, because I did get some GI Joes. Also, the Sgt. Rock raft was pretty cool and GI Joe did not have one until a few years later with the Cobra Night Landing. I just remember how cheap those Sgt. Rock figures were with short arms and all. A similar thing happened two years earlier when I asked for Star Wars toys and ended up with some Tonka trucks, and a Mork from Ork doll. But what the heck I know some kids didn't get anything, and I was happy to get some stuff no matter what kind of toys they were. Anyway, I finally did get the Mobat I always wanted, only it was just a couple years ago on ebay.
