If today was the year 1982, How would you start building your Gi Joe collection? (DO NOT BASE THIS ON AN INVESTMENT)
For me? I would go right to Sears and get the Cobra Command Missile Headquarters set. Then hit every toy store in New England until I got 100 Cobra Troopers and 100 Cobra Officers. In the following years... it would be chaos...

I'd buy as many as i could. I would drive up and down the eastern seaboard shoving kids and grannies out of the way to get to the Joes.

I wouldn't change anything.What good is a bunch of toys you don't care for? All the joes i had,i loved going outside to play with them. If you got everything just to have it,would you still care about them today?

I guess there was also mail order, which in 1982 was a 6 to 8 week wait, which to a kid may as well have been 6 to 8 years. Last edited by Steinberg; 04-17-2009 at 07:24 PM.. |

Ya I know there was a mail order. But did the mickey mouse version come in the mail? I have never seen that offered in mail but Sears had a majority of them(or all).

I would have gotten the same figures- I loved them all. However, I would have done SOMETHING to keep from losing the little accessories- weapons, gear, etc....
Oh and I would have been nicer to their thumbs.... |
