I found a stack of old magazines under my dad's dresser. When mom wasn't looking, I would sneak in and peak at them.
Wait, what was the question again? |

Went to a Tressler's 5 and dime store on the square, saw them on an endcap. My Dad asked me if I wanted them, cause he loved the old army men, and I said no. They weren't Star wars, and I thought he wouldn't let me get into another toy line. A few weeks later, I got most of them from a neighbor kid that wanted to buy cigarettes secretly. That's when my addiction began.

I was invited to a classmate / friend's birthday party. When I got there, they were all playing with G.I. Joe!

I definitely was into Joe before I knew about the comic, and before Sunbow had a cartoon. What I can’t recall is if I just found them in an aisle and it was love at first sight or if I had seen the early commercial and that sent me looking. I remember those 82 commercials vividly but not sure which happened first for me.

When I was 3 I saw a video of a man and woman playing with Stalker and Snake Eyes in a mountain range and was about to head for the jungle to attack the Terrodrome. I was hooked.

I was just a little toddler during 1981 to 1983 so I pretty much saw some GI Joe toys in various stores. Mostly the Cobra officers, Duke, Major bludd, rock and roll and scarlett and those carded weapon packs

I read an article about them in something I think was called the Weekly Reader. It was like a newspaper for elementary school students. I remember the article talking about Joes getting smaller due to rising oil prices. About a year later, I found a Breaker in a mall toy store.
