I ordered one too many Classified troopers, the NON Target kind. Now I have one extra. I didn't realize it until I had already opened it so it is loose but complete. Since I was lucky enough to win one of the contests on the tank earlier I decided to pay it forward, although I admittedly won a much cooler figure. Sorry no pics, don't know how to post'em here. A winner will be drawn at random on July 1st, all you have to do to get in is answer the question, which is:
What playtime or scenario with your joes was funnest for you? For example, when I was about 15, I used the space between my brothers bed and mine as an alley and used Recoil's case as a briefcase and the scenario was the joes were going to hand off ransom money to Cobra for something. Anyway Cobra Commander showed up and the joes double crossed him and there was a shoot out in the ally over the briefcase. I don't know why but this playtime has really stuck in my memories as a particularly fun one over the years. This can be from your childhood or maybe yesterday. If you want to comment but not enter the contest begin your post with NOT FOR CONTEST. |

When I was a kid my parents had a large crate that I would use as a cobra base. I would put a large ruler across it and the joes would have to get across without falling into the acid below. A lot of times I had Storm Shadow fight someone across it and always ended up knocking them into it. My buddies and I had fights in the yard as well. Always liked using the grass as a jungle and ended up losing many a part in it. My friend had a sandbox we would build forts in and flood it. Man the good ole days.

Sure, I'll play- mighty cool of you, man.
For myself, it's really a split between two scenarios, and my little bro was always the co-pilot on these missions. we'd always start by laying our collections out on the floor and picking our teams one by one, irrespective of whether they were Joes or Cobras. If the weather was nice, we'd set them up outside and battle. Growing up in the country, we had a myriad of options for our battlefield settings, but our favorite was the outside of our fireplace. The area we grew up in is one of those "towns" that exploded into existence here in California during the gold rush in the mid-1800's, only to practically disappear once the claims dried up, leaving lots of really cool buildings behind. The fireplace was part of one such building, and had been built around later on. It was made out of rough stone, and made for excellent mountainside battles. When the weather wasn't so great, we'd spend hours building bases out of boxes, blankets, etc. and duke it out inside- which is actually where I got my love of making dioramas from.

One of my earliest joe fun time was once i got my rolling thunder my joes took on the terrordrome. There was a lot of fire fighting and many cobra troopers felt the pain of death, and in some cases extreme nut pain. In the end falcon, skidmark ( heehee ), flash, armadillo, lady jaye, and mercer took out the terrordrome and stopped at bobs schmorgasboard and gift shop for a well deserved steak dinner and iced teas.

My funniest memory is using my twin size bed for the Flagg and Tire rims for Terror Dromes. Had a pretty big hill behind my cousins house and we had his dad’s rims strung all over. Not so funny then but it makes me chuckle looking back on those times. I told the kids at school that I had the Flagg and 4 Terror Dromes.

In the backyard of the house I grew up in, there was a large sandbox that my father built, so me and my brother would have a ton of desert battles. I remember one time we used the sandbox as a shoreline and the grass as "water" where we set up our TTBP off of the shore and performed a huge Cobra assault on it. The Moray was shoved off the shore for battle, with cover fire from the ASP and HISS tank and the Devilfish and Sky Hawk were launched from the TTBP to slow the assault so the Joes could get a little more time for reinforcements. It was a difficult win for the Joes that day.

NOT FOR CONTEST
Awesome of you doing this giveaway! When I was a kid, my favorite was the freezer. Cobra would capture a select number of Joes. Their torture method was to put each of them in a thin plastic container and fill with water up to their necks. Then I'd place each one in the freezer. The frozen Joes finally caved and gave Cobra the intel they were looking for. Well, except for Frostbite. I thought Frostbite was missing for a couple years until my mom found him still frozen behind the frozen peas. The fucker was still alive! You believe that shit?! |

Hard to top frozen Frostbite, but my favorite mission was always recovering important data from a downed plane, either the Night Raven or X-30. Both teams racing to get there with some cat and mouse fighting along the way. I always had my Joes stationed in a tropic jungle base with the Whale, a captured Moccasin, the Warthog, Tomahawk and the Dragonfly.

NOT IN THE CONTEST but very cool of you to be doing this!
My brother and I had little spiral notebooks which we would track our “Joe missions” and write down the scenario and whether it was successful or not. One year ants came into our house (very rare where we lived at) and we made up a story where the ants were monsters the Joes had to escape from by getting to higher ground. Another great adventure is where we had our Joes land on a planet inhabited by the bigger 12 inch Joes who would try and eat the smaller Joes
