Joe Defender / ARAH Vehicles/Playsets
« on: March 4, 2010, 10:19 PM »
Why not another good thread for JoeDefender?

Never had the Moray as a kid, and kinda wanted to pick up the TRU version a few years back but never did since I wasn't into Joe at the time.  LOVE this vintage boat now that I have it - a tad dusty (still trying to figure out how to clean these things without damaging the stickers/decals)  Clever system on the front missle launchers....Finally figured out to push down the steam pike thing - guess I should look at the blueprints.

Rediscovering a lot of my past childhood in these toys.  A lot to go though......

Joe Defender / Vintage 3.75" ARAH Figures
« on: March 4, 2010, 07:33 PM »
Figured this new area needs some attention.  I had tons of Joes as a kid, but stopped collecting in 88-89 as Joe stuff started getting strange and I was getting more into girls.  I had all my Joes stored until 96 or so when I finally decided that I didn't need to hold onto these things anymore so I sold off about 200+ vinty figs for $100 and was happy to be rid of them since I had no interest.

Come 00 after TPM was released - I started collecting SW figs again and got hooked on the Joe TRU reissue 2 packs, but ultimately clipped them in 03 as I only wanted to focus on modern SW and vinty TF only.

The return of the 25th Anniversary stuff totally hit the nostalgia bug in me and I've been hooked on them eversince.  1 carded and 1 loose...That got expensive, but luckily/unfortunately that line didn't last too long.  One of my local SW buds decided to sell off his vintage collection late last year and I've been picking up chunks eversince August of 09.  Thanks Stevey!  

I remember laughing at the comparisons of vinty to 25th.  These things were truly toys!  Was difficult to get them to hold there weapons (with fear of breaking off thumbs) and all of the recent broken o-rings and t/j bars I've been dealing with.  These things are really out of proporation with the 25th stuff, but I grew up with these things and they were my life for a good portion of my childhood.  What a trip!  Haven't seen these guys in almost 15 years.

Good times..

Anyone buying anything anymore?  I picked up GI Joe v1.3 from Target this morning and some random junk from a video chain that's closing up shop.

I'm so hoping that's the last time they're releasing that old bike.

I'm looking for the following two Titanium ships that I missed last year.  Would like packaged, but loose would be fine as well.

Rogue Shadow
Mon Calamari Cruiser

I'll probably have no luck posting here, but just thought I'd throw a line out and see what happens.   :)

Watto's Junk Yard / Cash for Clunkers
« on: August 6, 2009, 08:45 PM »
Just wondering if anyone here has taken advantage of this program and if so - what kind of new vehicle/deal you got.  I had a 92 Celica a few years back which would have qualified, but all I got was a lousy $500 for trade in value.  I now have an 06 Explorer which is a gas guzzler, but unfortunately it's not a clunker in the government's eyes.  Apparently my suv will be worth nothing in 10 years, but such is life. 

The Top Ten Cash for Clunkers Trade-Ins:

1. 1998 Ford Explorer
2. 1997 Ford Explorer
3. 1996 Ford Explorer
4. 1999 Ford Explorer
5. Jeep Grand Cherokee
6. Jeep Cherokee
7. 1995 Ford Explorer
8. 1994 Ford Explorer
9. 1997 Ford Windstar
10. 1999 Dodge Caravan

The Top Ten Cash for Clunkers New Cars:

1. Ford Focus
2. Honda Civic
3. Toyota Corolla
4. Toyota Prius
5. Ford Escape
6. Toyota Camry
7. Dodge Caliber
8. Hyundai Elantra
9. Honda Fit
10. Chevy Cobalt

Hopefully this won't turn into a "political" thread, but I'm sure it will...

Picked up Saw V today at Target - was too lazy to save a buck at BB.  Also noticed that Madagascar 2 comes out tomorrow.  Haven't seen a Friday release date yet.

Watto's Junk Yard / 02/10/09 - No More Buying Used Toys??
« on: January 7, 2009, 05:27 PM »
This is the first I've heard about this, but it makes sense due to all of the lead problems these past few years.  Glad I completed most of my G1 collection many years ago.  Guess I won't be able to go back and do the same for the vinty Joe line.  eBay will definitely feel a big blow if this pans out.

The Original Trilogy / Luke's Sabre
« on: November 30, 2008, 08:54 PM »
Watching Jedi on Spike for the 20th time or so.  Why didn't Jabba's goon droids figure out that R2 had a lightsabre hid in his head?  Me thinks the movie would have ended at the Sarlacc if Luke didn't have it readily available.   ???

I don't post in this thread so move or delete me as needed.
