okay a lot of people know me from TFW, i have always been mildly intrested in G.I. Joe and i have decided to try to collect it. i got about two g.i. joe figures from years ago (a red cobra commander like character and a destro from the sigma six era, but is still the small scale) and i really want the U.S.S Flagg (hey seeing as my luck at the local flea market with skyhammer and fort max, nothing is impossible, if i find one tomarrow i'm goin to explode). anyways my wal-mart has been terrible in getting g.i. joe figures, so the best place to get them locally is the local hastings......they got those hall of fame things, also some single carded ones, and finally they got a couple comic packs and they do have the 25th anniversary cobra set with the main bad guys (and my fave version of cobra commander, mirror helmet FTW)....i will probably pick that up tomarrow after the flea market.....and my local dollar general has tons of those g.i. joe figures that have no weapons and really small cards for about $3 bucks a piece.....any must haves? and any recommendations as to how i could start? i ain't goin to stop the transformer collecting, i just want something on the side to give me more of a variance in my collection

i recommend anything 25th anniversary, modern era even some of the new ROC figs are great. just get what you like, i would stay away from those single cards with no weapons from dollar land, they are blahh and a waste of money. you could also collect vintage as well.

Joe Hammer (the jeep that belongs to sargent slaughter third release i think it is. came with third release sargent slaughter and one of zartan's goons, the one with the cheetah like clothes):$2 bag of assorted g.i.joe parts with broken rubberband cobra pilot figure (repaired when i got home with a rubber band) and some random robocop figure:free with purchase of the hammer second release of sky hawk (silver):$.50 some kind of helicoptor i couldn't identify (like a compact coptor, got a bubble like front and has a fan on its tail and two blades):$.50 (both sky hawk and coptor came with a figure each, one was broken at rubberband and repaired) rerelease of the motorized tank (1998, no treads):$1.00 and some gobot dinosaur from the playskool line all figures were from around the year 88 so was this a good haul?

Flea market? Are you all itchy now? Seems you are dooing well in the secondary market. Be carefull at Hastings as the prices are way up there. Look at the usual online sources if you want new stuff and complete waves. Big Bad Toy Store and Pile of Loot has been good to me.
Welcome to the Tank. The Buy/Sell/Trade thread is full of good deals. Last edited by ShockVal; 07-12-2009 at 04:23 AM.. |
