The Year of Joe - January 2020

As you know, my goal for the year is to build my vintage GI Joe collection, primarily focused on the years 1982-1987.

I started with four vintage figures and one vehicle (The Wolverine).

I managed to get several awesome figures from a local vintage toy store and a few from ToyBox. I did break my rule about Ebay once or twice. Most of those were before I made the pledge to keep away from Ebay and enjoy the actual hunt. But those pesky straight arm figures are hard to find in the wild.

What I started with:
Short Fuze, Steeler, Grand Slam and Covergirl + Wolverine

Ebay Purchase
Breaker, Flash, Rock n Roll, Stalker + Toss n Cross with Tollbooth. I never had Rock n Roll or Flash when I was growing up. Always wanted them. Now I have them. Woohoo!

Tosche Station Purchases
Joe - Gung Ho, Tripwire, Snowjob, Doc, Barbecue, Iceberg, Torpedo, Dusty, Blowtorch
Cobra - Destro, Firefly, StormShadow, Dr. Mindbender

ToyBox
Joe - Zap, Tiger Force Tripwire
Cobra - BAT, Night Viper

Found Among my Other Stuff
Original Snow Serpent

Somewhere among all my stuff is still a Beachhead, Original Iceberg and Tunnel Rat.  Hopefully I'll find them someday.

We'll see what February has in store.

Series 1 - 1982 - all straight arm except Steeler.

Series 2 - 1983

Series 3 - 1984

Series 4 - 1985
