bruticus -> I only have one filecard but I did not fill-up what's in it because it came with one of the Steele Brigade figures. All of them were aquired via the secondhand market. I remeber giving the patch to a friend as well. Notice one of them has no gun! Neither are my Star Dusters complete, although I can complete one figure if I need to. Some of the helmets are gray and guns are from Gung-Ho -but I don't care because I collect for what I want and for play anyway. -hopefully more pics later Garvy - I think I have like 300+ figures at the moment and I've stopped collecting for like 5 years now but I bought "green shirts" and comic book versions while back especially during the convention. As for vehicles, I have several more but they are sorta "mothballed" somewhere packed up in a secret location (my brother's attic) that include ones from other compatible toylines like The Corps!, Soldier Force, Star Wars, Micronauts, Microman, A-team, etc. Hopefully I can get hold of them and take pictures before I go overseas again. @mattracker - That's what's great about the 3.75" Joes - all compatible no matter what the year is as long as the are the same scale. That's why I nevr bought the G.I. Joe extreme, the Current Sigma 6 nor will I get the new 2.5 " ones. I noticed early 80's joes had great vehicles but ugly figures whereas the new one have better sculps that's why the new Cover Girl was a perfect match for the venerable Wolverine. Maybe I'll try taking a picture of all the new "green shirts" aboard the 1982 APC

ah okay. I'm planning to get the Sigma 6 2.5 scaled figs and vehicles. It's really hard to complete the 3.75 joes eh, he he he! I had the ff: dreadnok thunder machine w/ thraser, devil fish, cobra mamba, conquest x-30, beach head, main frame, sci fi, low light, monkey wrench, buzz saw(?), zartan (used him for my highschool diorama of Florante at Laura), snake eyes, cobra commander, bats and incinerator. unfortunately because of "sige na tito" and "iiyak ako", that time, I can't bear to see my nephews crying so I had to part ways with them.
anyway, good collection and good for you, you were able to preserve one of the best toys that came out of our childhood years. =)

In case you have anything interesting on the vintage star wars or Micronaut side that you care to dispose of, let me know! Cheers, Garvy |

Nice green shirts bro! Where did you get them? Ive been looking for them but I can't find any. I like the way they have the same uniform  Neat and presentable. Are the green shirts bought as a set? I recognize some as belonging to the 6-pack Green Shirts but not the others. Where did you get them? ;D How much? |

@mattracker - yeah talk about completing the entire 3.75" G.I. Joe run. Tell me about it bro! I don't even know anyone who was able to get everything. Especially if you include the exclusives, mail--ins, foreign exclusives, vehicle drivers, etc. If you want to collect - I suggest just get the ones you like and want from the line. The thrill of the chase so to speak. Some collectors like the "army builders" - get multiple soldiers like cobras and vipers. If you collect for resale later, especially if they are loose(like the way I like it for play)- forget it! Just get out there and enjoy you collection mate. Funny, my nephews give me Joe figures when they get tired of it instead of the othe way around ;-) Garvy - I have both the Defiant and the Crusader sets but neither are complete. I only have Payload ver2 as the astronaut. As for Micronauts, just odds and ends to make custom vehicles here an there. I remember disposing of a vintage Empire Stirkes Back Rebel Transport while back because it was too bulky to store. I used to pretend it was a Joe submarine. Did you know that even Playmobils make excellent vehicles for Joes? Anyway, I always regret disposing of just about anything back then so don't hold your breath that I will at the moment. The little buggers just grow on you -;-/ @ gian7675 - The dark green ones are form the 6 pack indeed. I was able to get ones with 4 face types and 2 body types so I was able to have 8 of them (mix match- get a screw driver and change heads!- another reason to collect these). The others are the recent comic book versions and Valor VS Venom line like the small chick called Bombstrike. I got them all loose without accessories from the owner of Black Dragon from the convention while back and last weekend. Try their branch at Festival mall. 100php a pop matey! |

Neat and presentable.
