Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

i stopped collecting these right around the time that Sideshow Snake Eyes came out. I might get back into them later. So the Alpine Set is Hard to find now?

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Damn, with the 25% off sale at BBTS I just spent $110 worth of comic 2 packs. And with all you guys taking about the DVD Battle backs I'm now in the search for the last 3 sets.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I saw those set a couple of times here in San Diego actually. Believe it or not, I saw both the Dusty set and Alpine set in a clearance pile along with the first two DVD packs around Christmas time last year at Wal-Mart

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

the dusty w/ backpack straps in the dvd set is pretty rare....1st run had straps and after that he came with no straps

Yeah, that set was originally intended to be released with the animated movie, which accounts for the camera, Duke with screaming face and JUMP, CC with CLAW, troop with parachute, etc. However, Hasbro couldn't get the rights to release it somehow (How Hasbro can't get the rights to release a cartoon based on a Hasbro toy is beyond me) and so a "Best of the 80s" DVD was released instead.

Didn't think either Dusty was really rare. I bought one of the first released ones without straps, and saw the strapped versions afterward, but wasn't OCD enough to buy one. That is one figure from the 25th line that I was really disappointed with.

Thanks Kara

btw I've seen this before at my Target or Wal-Mart in the past, I'm not much on picking them up all bundled like this though, I like the separate carded figs more.

You don't have to make excuses for buying toys here bud... well, maybe, if it's the ROC crap.

Sting Raider
Stinger Jeep
Ghost Hawk

and of course Quick Kick and Dusty.

Heh, who said it was an excuse? It's the truth.

However, my Sideshow/ hot toys / Medicom/ Mattel Masters of the universe / and transformers stuff is my own. same probably goes for all my marvel legends stuffs

Though I'll likely get them their own if they want them.

But Joes. Joes are tough and sturdy figures. I have no fear of them braeaking them.

Nothing so devastating to a child as a favorite toy breaking.

I've actually got all of those and was debating about selling them (aside from Dusty and Quick Kick). I'm just not going to have enough room for all my Joe stuff.

We might need to talk then.

I finally picked up Flint and Firefly from BBTS for $5.99 each. This is crazy as they were both my all time favorite figures growing up and I cannot believe they were one of the last to be purchased.
