You would have had to have been rich THEN to pick them up. Yes, they went up in value since then, but they were expensive to buy new. USS Flagg was over $100.00 in the 80's, which would be about $250.00 today.
Lol, yes they were easier to find later on. They were everywhere. Then they put them in single packs for wave 4. Then there's been repaints of each figure. Gung-Ho and Duke were good, the rest sucked.
i bought a five pack , but i got a later version with the figs in different spots and they are in different positions. i took them out and discovered that gung ho's arms are on backwards, just the top biceps, im gonna try and take him apart and fix him, even though its not that noticable.
actually, the star plays the same as the Joe set. However, there is a 2nd Cobra set that has different figures in it. Not only that, but it includes a really cool Cobra insignia that play the part of the GIJoe movie theme "Cobraaaa!!"
In the 80's I was a huge G.I.Joe fan and I have quite some figures and vehicles, one of my favorites being the Zartan figure. I watched all TV-episodes and read all the comics. I thought the Joes were typical dorky "heroes" so most of my stuff was Cobra because they were much cooler. Now I'm not interested in them anymore and want to sell them. I'm still a huge Transformers fan though.
And for the variation collectors, there are two variations to this set. the characters are placed differently, and they are on their stands in the packages. Some versions have Snake Eyes bag saying "EXPLOSIVES" and some do not. I've seen many of both. The toys are AWESOME. I am so glad they brought some classics back. Still have all my old joes/cobras. They're a nice addition to the old ones.
I like the 25th anniv series. But they are quite hard to get your hands on here in the Netherlands. We don't even have that sigma six 'crap'in the stores. They cancelled the spy troops about 2 years ago, and since then ebay and fares are the only places to sathisfy a collectors addiction.
Idk I cant find those gi joe's any where all I find is that sigma crap and for sum reason they took off all the Real American Hero ones off the shelves to
hey matrix prime ihate to brake it to you! but i could see your face (if you already did not know) at about 5:22 really well cause of the lamanat case! so ya you were whering a black baseball hat! just incause you did not know!
I like the old g.i.joe toons. I watched them again recently and it was great. Any of the vehicles (other than the lame bridgelayer) could get you hooked on these toys.
I'm sure you have heard this before, but I caught G.I. Joe on Boomerang, and it is a very entertaining show. It's got P.S.A.s at the end of each episode, but that adds greatness to it XD. And it was funny seeing the close up of the camera itself XD
They have another anniversary set besides those two but smaller.
One with Snake Eyes (GI Joe)on the cover consists of:
Snake Eyes w/Timber, Flint, General Hawk, Lady Jaye and Shipwreck
One with Storm Shadow (Cobra) on the front cover consists of:
Storm Shadow, Baroness w/diff outfit, Cobra Commander (hooded w/cape), Zartan and Cobra Viper.

The cartoons aren't that good, if you want a more serious, but also funny G.I.Joe experinces, then pick up Larry Hama's G.I.Joe run by Marvel.
