I just got out my 1983 GI JOE Command Center and set it up with classic 25th Joe figures....
...It just looks so cool. Sure there are a lot of things I would like to change or improve... But its so awesome just the way it is too. I wanted the HQ as a kid but my brother & I never got one until around 1985/86. It took us 2 or 3 years to get parts to complete it... (the days before Ebay). Ah the memories. Did you ever notice the 1983 HQ is one of the only JOE toys that had paper stickers? Last edited by IronMan76; 02-16-2010 at 02:43 PM.. |

This thread got me thinking of how I used to take shoe boxes (and other boxes) and create my own fortresses. I have a permanent scar on my thumb from an exo-knife accident I had while creating one.
I can still remember my brother telling me to run it under cold water as he rolled back over to fall asleep. |
