Remember the small GI Joes of the 80s?

They still make em, but for collectors mostly. But I have to say that Nintendo put a hurting on the action figure aisle in Toys R Us.

I guess the reason Hasbro stopped producing GI Joe is the gaming consoles???

no, they stopped cause they heard about you drowning J I Joe in a pond......

Hasbro even has a expensive collectors club with a bunch of exclusives. I still have a bunch of my old Joe's in the basement somewhere.

Oh no...get them out of basement. The Geneva Convention declared that a war crime...🙂
Yeah, I saw the Collector club stuff, but I can't justify spending that much on figures. I'm happy stalking swap meets for unsuspecting victims, UH..I mean sellers...yeah.

GI Joe (and transformers!) was slightly past my time. Star Wars kid here. Still have most all my original stuff, plus a bunch of the newer stuff I got in the 90's. Then I got this damn car lol.

Gi joe was my favorite. I still have some at my mother's place. I have the cobra plane that looks like a stealth bomber and the gi Joe plane with the backwards wings.

Some of my gi Joes got broken by my younger brother when he stated paying with them. I will visit my mom and see what's really left lol.

They were among my favorite toys as a kid, and I still have a few. My favorites were the crimson twins. And a few years back, I got a limited edition set that was at the Joe con in 02 of them but all the dark blue was done in crimson. Then bought 10 crimson guards for them to lead....yes....I am......a geek.

If you want to try and get some of your old Joes, try to avoid eBay, I got the above mentioned by interacting In the online community and paid a total of $100 for all of it. The twins alone were going for that much on eBay alone.
Now you know......

And knowing is half the battle!
