Somewhere stored away I have one of those custom G.I. Joes that you could order once upon a time. Always thought that was the coolest toy ever.

No clue, never collected dolls

scooper · 10-19-2005, 01:36 PM

Tucked away in my mother's attic is a large box containing the USS Flag, the holy grail of vehicles for 3 1/2 inch action figures. My son is one year old. It's going to be a few years, but I'm counting down the days until he gets a 7-foot aircraft carrier.

sachmo71 · 10-19-2005, 01:37 PM

Let me know how this goes...I can sell my shit, too.

USS Flag, for sale!

Maybe I'll buy it and give my son a fleet. Nah. Basement's not big enough.

hukarez · 10-19-2005, 01:39 PM

By the way, if anyone still has their Garbage Pail Kids in somewhat decent condition -- let me know!

Mustang · 10-19-2005, 02:08 PM

As a note, Legos are about $6 per pound... More or less depending on if they were parts of sets and you have the corresponding minifigs or not. (I have about 120+ lbs of legos in my basement in a metal trashcan.. my kids are going to have fun...

If you have any of the mid 80s Knights/Castle stuff.. separate it.. you can get a decent price for that.

I went downstairs and weighed my tubs of Legos.. I too have ~180lbs of it.. including 2 monorails among other things. And yes I do have the 80s Knights/Castle stuff.. I have one of the Castles! hehe

Raven · 10-19-2005, 04:49 PM

Dude, you don't have Storm Shadow, Snakeyes, Dusty, Sargeant Slaughter, Gung Ho, Fire Fly, or that asian ninja guy with the white headband and red sash thingy?

I've debated and the USS Flag is the best, followed closely by the GI Joe Spaceship

Tasan · 10-19-2005, 10:08 PM

Hey did you post this up on ebay? I really want to check it out. My son is getting close to the right age, and I can't seem to find any of my old figures at my parents, even though they swear they put them up. Heck, if you haven't ebay'ed them yet, send me an email to david_r AT mindless.com

Tasan · 10-19-2005, 10:09 PM

dola

if anyone wants to sell a USS Flag, let me know that too, I always wanted one, and boy it is fun to have a son to play with this stuff ;- )

Ragone · 10-20-2005, 04:55 AM

Gi Joe had to be the worst military force ever.. i mean.. did they ever shoot anyone?

Blasphemy!

[Narrator voice]
GI Joe is America's daring, highly trained special mission force.
It's purpose, to defend freedom from Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world.
[end Narrator]

GI JOE! A REAL AMERICAN HERO! GI JOE IS THERE!
FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM WHEREVER THERE'S TROUBLE! OVER LAND, AND SEE AND AIR!

Johnny93g · 10-20-2005, 08:19 AM

You're quite possibly the best Dad ever.

Bee · 10-20-2005, 08:56 AM

I don't think any of my GI-Joe's survived the BB-gun/firecracker years...

2 monorails? these still boxed? I think I've seen the monorail set go for $200+. (Same for the castle...)

But, even the individual monorail parts (if you don't have the box) can net you something.

Either that, or I'm still one big kid.

Hammer755 · 10-20-2005, 11:08 AM

My parents decided to bring me all my childhood toys (GI Joes, Star Wars, WWF) from the attic of their house on their last visit. They said it was so I could share them with my boys when they get old enough, but I know it was just because they wanted to get rid of the clutter.

I was kind of pumped thinking I could pass them on until I opened the tub and realized that I had left the figures in horrible shape. Most of them were missing limbs, or their paint had faded so they now looked like they were nude.

It must have been an evil plot perpetrated by Cobra Commander and Darth Vader!

SI
