i did a google search to find a picture of v1 ss for a drawing i wanted to do and ended up at hasbros site when they first posted the prototype photos of the original 2 5 packs.
i say it was destiney. thats also when i discovered yojoe and other forums dedicated to gi joe and that there really was other people who missed their childhood toys and were trying to reacquire them.

A guy I work with started talking about G.I. Joes one day, and brought up the 25th line. One day when I was in target I went to the toy section just to check it out. As soon as I saw the original art work and figures I hadn't seen in years I was hooked from then on.

I was looking through a Toyfare magazine at the Fort Bliss PX one day last summer...and there was an ad with this Cobra Commander pictured with even more articulation and better sculpting than any I ever remembered.
I didn't buy the first 5-packs I saw at Target a month later, but I couldn't stop picking them up and looking at them...hitting the theme song button on the logo LOL ... I bought both 5 packs the 2nd time I saw them in a Wal Mart, then I hunted down Shipwreck, Flint, and a Cobra Officer the same week. Been hooked ever since October of last year. |

I saw the 5 packs in Target Walmart etc... thought they were neat, but wasn't too impressed. I figured as a lark I'd ask for some for christmas (I was 28 lol), got the Joe set, and got hooked.

I think I saw something in TOYFARE magazin, but I can't really remember to be honest.

Around Aug/Sept of last year I believe, I was wandering the aisles of TRU in Murfreesboro, TN. I saw a large display of GI Joes (which sadly, TRU seems to have scaled back the amount of space that GI Joe gets). In this display was a couple of pegs full of Wave 1. I got one of each, and found it odd that there was a Snake Eyes with white Timber as well as a black Timber. So I bought one of each Snake Eyes. I've been happy about that decision ever since!
