bash the red,green,& purple cards now but 25 years from now after everyone opened them, tossed them in the trash, let them get all smashed up, or sent them back to the factory to get melted down the 10 people who still have the whole set MOC may be able to get $10 a piece for them. haha

I remember joes being in the 2 for 1 bargain bin, as well as vintage star wars figures, ghostbusters, & heman.

Now look! $$$$$

This is the "new navy" as they call it, im not allowed to carry my bird anymore. They told me it was politically insensitive, and a stereotype that may offend real pirates.

If 48 per case is true, what we're getting now is an embarrassment.

There was a guy on one of these forums about a year ago talking about how he had one (maybe two) cases of original Joes (82-83) sealed. He said he tried to get the box X-ray scanned or something to see what figures were in there but could only detect the cards themselves, not which ones they were. Said he would never open them nor sell them until several years down the road. How much do you think one of those bad boys is worth? I don't know how many there were to a case then, but just say it was 20, he'd be looking at a good $20,000 I'd think when you take into consideration the potential for an AFA U grade for an '82 figure. Maybe $30,000.

Is it relatively pathetic that I actually have dreams where I walk into stores to find peg hooks filled with vintage Star Wars & Joe merch?

2- In the mid 90's my father went back to a toy store in Newark, New Jersey we used to frequent and got a case of un-opened 1986 JOES for dirt cheap as the place was going out of biz, the case just sat there for ages as the Joes died in like 1991, they never had any reason to put them out, they just got lost in the shuffle.

Where in Newark was this toy store? I lived in Newark for most of my life and I don't remember a toy-store anywhere around here.
