How many of you have still have your collection from when you were a kid? I have a good chunk of it, but most has been lost or even worse, stolen.
Since finding this Forum I have found all the child hood joy I had with my Joes, but in this, I have found that lots of it is missing. I was always into Matchbox and Hotwheels (still have about 2 or 3000 of them), but I loved playing with my Joes too. I got into it a bit late, My vary first one was the Night Force Falcon and Sneak-Peak along with a Sky Patrol SkyHawk and was then hooked,but could never find all the cool ones that were in the comics and show. When I was about 8 or 9 I found a collectible shop just down the street. He always had the old hard to find Matchbox I wanted (I saved up for a $25 Mustang once, allowance was $7 a week). This one day he got in an old collection of Joes. I think I ended up buying about 75% of it. I remember I spent a whooping $15 for a sealed 85 Cobra Viper (still hanging on my wall, MOC). My mom and dad noticed I was really getting into collecting back then and started to to get the other stuff for me at the shop I went to. I mean I got tons of cool stuff! How about a sealed Zartan for $25! I got my self a price guide, the Tomarts one from 93, and marked all the ones I had and all the ones I wanted. After going through it all, I realized I have a ton of it missing! This is the list, tell me how you would feel... I was really bummed... Notice, 90% was stolen from my friend the day before I moved, Never saw him again... Punk... Figures: Cobra Officer V1, Ace V1, Scoop V1, Alley Viper V1, Countdown V1, Night-Creeper V1, Ambush V1, Salvo V1, Undertow V1, Red-Star V1, Tracker V1, Torch V1, Sci-Fi V1 W/uncut card, B.A.T. W/uncut card, Outback V1, Toxo-Viper V1, Night Force Falcon, Tiger Force Frost Bite, Eco Warriors: Ozone/Cesspool/Flint, Talking General Hawk, Sonic fighers: Rock&Roll, Viper, and Zap, D.E.F: Bullet-Proof, and another 7 figures from Series Twelve. Zartan Sealed in box V1, Vehicles and other stuff: Polar Battle Bear, Collector Display case, Water Moccasin in box, Machine Gun Defense Unite in box, Missile Defense Unite in box, Bivouac Observation Post in box, Check Point Battle Station in box, Forward Observation Unite in box, Cobra Stun in box V1, L.A.W. battle station in box, Cobra Adder, Badger, Cobra Paralyzer, Sky Patrol SkyHawk (vary favorite toy next to Snake-Eyes), Cobra Piranha in box, Swampsmasher x3 (one one left) Sorry for it being so freakin long... lol

Well, what can ya do, right?.... I know it was mostly the kid next door but never really realized it till later. I was really trusting when I was younger..
I just remembered another one. I had just got Beachhead, I had him for 2 days. Then he went missing, but then my friend got him the same week. He said his brother got it for him..... right... little bastard, I saved for a week for him :( I know I'm missing tons off that list... Also, I'm now missing half of all the accessory's for my figures. The only complete ones I have is Air-Tight and Tele-Viper... Or have all the accessory's, but no figure.... WTF?!.... AAAHHHHHH!!!!

Yeah, well I tried that... I moved when I was 9, he moved 6 mouths later. It was really said though, We had tons of fun, but it's like he knew I was saving up money for all of them and he didn't care.
The guy at the shop would keep them on hold for me 2 at a time. I remember when I got Air-Tight and Barbecue, they came with uncut cards and they were $12 a peace and looked new. I never did get Alpine Flint or Lady-Jay. But he had them, with uncut cards...
