Ok, so i'm a little new here and this may have been done preciously. So forgive me if it has, but my question is,
What would be your or is your Holy Grail Joe figure? Do you have it? Story behind it? My hopes are to bring back some memories and maybe remember some figures that I have forgotten. I guess mine would be any 82 series moc, I had them opened them and Played with, lost, broke, left in yard etc all in 1982. Only if I hadnt have Been 8 years old. I am slowly rebuilding my childhood collection. Thanks for your time.

I think right now it would be the con exclusive Oktober Guard set. I'm not one to complain about exclusivity and stuff like that, but I do get a little inkling of despair every time they reveal the sets from SDCC and the other cons. It was especially bad in 2012, because the OG and the IGs are my favorite subsets in GI Joe, so it was a double whammy. I can live without the IGs, but I really want those six OGs (and now Big Bear, who is, you guessed it, exclusive to the fan club). I spend a lot of money on toys and hobbies, but I can't justify to my wonderful wife dropping hundreds on six figs.

I have a Canadian version of Snake eyes from 1982. That is my holy grail.

GI C, Athens Alabama, you are 30 minutes north of me. Maybe we can watch out for each other on new stuff hitting shelves. Are you doing the retaliation waves? Or any other stuff?

V2 Snake Eyes V1 Storm Shadow
I know the ninja stuff gets old but these two were my best buddies as a kid. The original Marvel comic stories with these two are priceless.

My holy grail isn't Joe at all. It is an accessory from the Indiana jones line.

I couldnt agree more in fact I just bought gi joe issue #46 today it has Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes on the cover. It has always been one of my favorite covers. I think my Holy Grail is my Storm Shadow V1 . I don't have many vintage figures ,but he is one of them I had to have complete. I would also love to get Snake Eyes v2. When I was in college I had a few toys in my dorm. Those two figures and a Batmobile with Batman and Robin in it were among them. My roommate threw them out the window of my 9th floor dorm room. I ended up taking his wallet with his student ID ,meal card and room keys (it was a chain wallet) and throwing them in a trash can about 50 miles away from campus. I was pretty mad because they were the only toys I was able to hold on to from when I was a kid.
