one of the coolest toys i had as a kid... tank gun 2 nukes wiht more missles in the nukes. i think i played with it in the mud ond day and sum of the tires came off lol.
I had that. Freaking awesome until I got the General. Looking back, Cobra was really outmatched in my imaginary battles as a kid. Three Hisses and a Razorback against a Hammer, Mobile Battle Bunker, General, Rolling Thunder, etc.......
I had this but my dad had bought it from a yardsale so it was missing most of the pieces and the wheels kept falling off. I was still the envy of all the other kids though.
In 1998 I was 16 and I came home from school to find my mum had done a complete overhaul of my room. I asked where are my toys? "Oh.." she said "I gave them away to charity" My TMNT, Transformers, Dino Riders (even the ones when they went ice age), C.O.P.S, Brave Star, He-Man and my beloved G.I.Joes including this one. To this day she still feels bad about it.
dude... i cannot begin to express my sadness to your story, as a fellow JOE/transformer/TMNT and HE-MAN owner. no man should ever have to go through that :(
My mum almost did the same, one day she found Storm Shadow "camping" over the tv, she took it away right to the garbage. Right next week she got a note from school: "Your son's been depressed all week..." The teacher told her about collectors making money out of action figures, she never wasted our toys any more, 25 years later she still want to collect her loot but our stuff remains not for sale. Guess we were lucky, parents shouldn't do what yours did, it's horrible!
I'm 13 years old and I have one of those. And to my suprise I found out that the gi joe rolling thunder was from 1988. If you want one, Ebay is the place to be.
Cool, until Dirka A Dirk mines the road with IED's then how cool its Rolling Thunder, more like Rolling Death Trap. Lol, is it blast proof? What they really need is the Cougar, or Buffalo.
Cobras running scared .. starting to wonder ... can he survive the Roooollin Thundaaaaa

yah but Cobra vehicles made up in sneak attacks and covert ops. Cobra forces were better in guerilla warfare than in regular convetntional battles.
