When I was a kid I didnt have a lot of money so I would use whatever I had for my joes. I would use tp tubes as cyro tubes or other trash for joes to get tossed into during fights. Also used popsicle sticks to build forts,etc.

I used an ironing board as my Flagg and my parent’s living room desk/book shelf as my Cobra base. Good times.

I vaguely recall using tin foil a lot for various things like tents and wrapping other items with it to create a metallic wall or tower. I also used old shoe boxes to create bunkers.....come to think of it, I've got lots of old shoe boxes in the garage.....hmmmm, I may be making bunkers today

Those plastic cups Dairy Queen served those sundaes in. Many times those would go right from the dinner table into the bath tub.

i made missile silos out of the flat rocks in the garden and my main base was always the big fake fireplace because it has teared shelves on the sides. i also used cake pans and pipping bag tips as tank barriers (my mom is a cake maker)

When cobra would catch the Joes and hold them captive they would freeze them. So I would get plastic cups and fill them with water and put one Joe in the cup. After sitting overnight I would tear the cup away from the ice and there he was, Frozen Joe!

My dad was a brick layer, so I had access to tons of cinder blocks and bricks in my back yard. I built some epic bases out of those.

I remember using tv stands,etc as bases and then would take yard sticks and extend them over trunks. Used them as long bridges for epic ninja fights.
