Thanks fellas!!
And as for my son...well, he is the reason I got back into collecting. Long story short...I was off work due to an injury, went into the attic for something (wife wanted something...don't remember to this day what it was, lol)..while looking, my son finds a box with my childhood Joes. When he seen them...he had the look in his eyes that I had when I first seen them. From that point on...he was hooked, and got me back into it. He is only 5 yrs old now (will be 6 this week)...and he was only 3 at the time he seen Joes. I started to give him some of my vehicles...then seen the value of them online, and took them back (once he gets a bit bigger, he will get them all).
So...from that point on I have been buying Joes for him. Got him a GI Joe backpack and two vintage lunch boxes to take for kindergarten. He lit a fire in the other kids, they are always asking him about his and his dad's joes.
They have show and tell every week in school..."things that begin with the letter __", he always takes a joe if he can.
Its been a great experience...one that I hope continues for a long, long time. He helps me with customizing...and it is great to have someone in the same house to play Joes with LOL.
I have two collections going for him...one that he gets via gifts (x-mas, easter, birthdays, good report cards) that he opens...and a sealed collection that I have put away for him. I try to get two of everything new that I find to keep both collections the same. My hope is to one day give it to him...so he can pass it on to his son and have as much fun as I am with him.
As for S6...I know its intended for kids and is kid tested. Well, my son is the variable...he prefers the 3.75" scale. He sees all the vehicles/playsets for 3.75" scale, and well...to put it in his words " I like the little ones better."
