I have a confession to make: I am a repacker. Before you gather your torches and pitchforks, it's NOT what you're thinking!
My small children are too young to have had the joy of receiving a sealed new GI Joe vehicle from Santa. Santa can't find them at retail these days, you know. So instead, Santa has had to get creative with figure replacement into the sealed boxes of competing lines...and just calling them GI Joes. I have been waiting for my oldest to be old enough to get these more-fragile vehicles and my oldest two are now about the right age. So I'm going to let them fly! Here is this year's collection, which will be working its way under my Christmas tree in December: Black Hawk Helicopter ("Night Ops"): Before: After (needs some night-ops stickers still to replace the factory stickers - though I have loaded the rear bay with parachutes/harnesses and grappling hook gear): Black Hawk Helicopter (search and rescue): Abrams Tank: Before: After: Apache Longbow: Little Birds: Patrol Boat: Does anyone else do this or is it just me?

Nice work!!! I remember when GI Joe was out of the stores right before the 25th. My guys were super bummed so I started searching eBay for vehicles mib. That's when I got the 1997 slugger and the 2001 vamp. Really great work!
