 All right. Hey guys, this here is RetroJot and you are watching ComigodinTV and this is a massive kind of place set here I originally had the camera on a tripod and I attempted to actually do a test run going live with it like that and it just it the To be able to show everything off It's just it was insane things kept falling over because I had to walk around the tripod so we're gonna go ahead and handheld this and Try not to move around so much unless necessary, so let's get into it Real quick if you haven't already go ahead and please like the page subscribe Feel free to comment below and comment as we're going along on this live video review. So here we go So this was created. This is the second GI Joe headquarters The first one came out. I believe in 1983. It was essentially just what you see here this flat part right here It didn't fold up to my knowledge rating was this pretty pretty much flat You're able to fit a couple of vehicles here in here There was a computer outpost on the inside. It was a jail sale and then there was a removable Hella pad that you can put wherever you want. It was pretty cool for the time It didn't compare to play sets like Castle Grayskull for instance Nor does it compare to the GI Joe USS flag place set which Would love to have that But this this was one of three play sets I wanted the most as a kid the first being Castle Grayskull the second being the Ninja Turtles sewer play set and the next being this beauty And I did manage to finally get all those previous ones, but later on in life as I grew up and got a job So and this I just got a few weeks ago So let's go ahead and go over this beautiful beautiful beautiful place. I absolutely love this with all his 90s neon color glory So I'm gonna move in Now this play set boasted in the commercials that could hold up to Up to 50 GI Joe figures. I don't have I have I don't know as far as GI Joe not including Cobra. I don't have that many GI Joe's I have more Cobra figures than I do GI Joe just cuz come on Cobra was cooler But this does hold a lot of figures. I don't have to just use the pegs You could put them pretty much anywhere all of these figures with the exception of I believe that's heavy-duty is on a peg so All right, so let's go ahead and go over this play set We'll start with the very front and kind of work our way around the play set this way So first off, you'll notice we have this Gatling gun here. Yeah, the GI Joe figure that fits in here Now this Gatling gun Which really cool about this is it is removable You could just take it off Of here like so That and you could put it wherever you want You want to hear you put it up here? You can move it. You don't put it over here. That's its second functionality Besides being a front Weapon here, I'll show you the third one next This does fold up it can be moved and it does fire Missiles when you turn the knob And this is really hard one-handed So we'll just leave that folded up for right now But these do these do these fire out and I don't really want to lose them anyway, so I'm not gonna just fire them out Here we have What is basically kind of like where the Joe's can lay and shoot their guns while Cobra's attacking them this way This has various different pegs It has two four six eight pegs. I have seven Joe's here on the pegs To display and again, this is really cool. You'll see the door here, which does just fold up like so Yeah, once that is folded up you can take and We move the figures and then just just slides in the base like so And that's gonna serve for multiple functionality because you then can put Joe's in here like so and you can just Store them in there if you wanted to so that's kind of neat Moving over here. You will notice that we have a gun. This is one of three rocket launchers And it does fire like just like that and I did there goes a missile There goes a rocket Another cool thing was should Cobra be attacking and fire a missile here then this here will go And as you can see for it being Well over 20 years old this place that everything on here work. It's 100 percent complete. It works So I'm really uber uber excited about this Then we'll go over here to the next rocket launcher And this is the second of three rocket launchers and what's cool is this can go anywhere You don't have to put them here. You can remove these guns here and you can put the rocket launchers in there We have the third rocket launcher here, which has a tripod this comes off the tripod So you can put these little laser guns on this tripod you put one of these Rocket launchers on the tripod. It's really cool and you can move it wherever you want So and of course these also fire Alright You'll notice this little door here That I'm getting into right now. Let me go ahead and spin this sucker around So we're gonna get ready to go inside This awesome massive GI Joe headquarters We're going inside And looks like I have a GI Joe who fell There we go. So over here. We have the jail You could fit. It's made. It's got one peg for a figure. You could probably fit to GI Joe's in here as you can see I have Destro in here So what happens here is you go back to the front and you notice this little can right here so you take this can and Say Cobra wants to free whoever's in it. They found the schematics of the headquarters They know behind this wall is the jail sale So and they want to free Destro. They need more weapons and only Destro can make it for them So they're gonna free him. How do they free him? Well, they're gonna explode this area by hitting this explosive can See if I can There we go. And then we're going to just Boo. Oh, well And now you see Destro in here and Destro can escape the jail sale like so He doesn't want to come out. Ha ha. I am free Free to create my massive mass effect weapon. Ha ha ha. Mass effect here I come So that's got destroyed. I'm gonna have to rebuild that. All right So And we have Joe's falling all over the place up here Live video. Yay. All right. And here we have some more GI Joes on pegs. Again, you could fit probably The commercial back in the 90s said that you can have up to 50 GI Joes on here If you use the pegs, you can fit more GI Joes if you don't use the pegs so Here you see a An area to fill up all your joe vehicles Now here's the thing. This is Inaccurate complete but inaccurate This hose is supposed to be attached here. Well, they're the peg broke The peg is actually at the other end of this hose here um here So I ended up bringing it to where it actually went in here and the peg stops the wire from coming out And it makes more sense because why would you Put the gun in here When the hose is here To fill up your vehicles, wouldn't you want to get right straight from the source? So this works out better. I like this better. So There you go um We had it has a working elevator here. You'll see scarlet's behind And it goes up now. I like this. It's cool all play sets for the most part having elevator even castle grace go ahead and elevator The ninja should ninja turtles to replace that helen elevator But they all went somewhere castle grace go went to another level Um, the sewer place that went to the street level. This goes nowhere There's no she has to jump from the elevator to here and she'll have to jump and I'll go up It goes up it goes up and that's where it stops. It doesn't go up any further So she has to jump to get up here or climb up there and if they're firing that gun It's good. She's gonna get in the way So it doesn't function doesn't have much functionality, but it's still cool Um, and it has a high drive lifting running out there So anyway, it's still pretty cool Um, we'll continue from the bottom here. So here we have a service area for the gi gel vehicles Uh, it's not very detailed, but you could see Uh, well painted detail, but you definitely see a lot of like wires and buttons and things like that Then this serves for some other something else This can fit And these grooves right here And it just it goes in just like slides in right in and it can go up down You could I don't know why you want to shoot Inside the headquarters, but you have that option to do so I think it's mostly for storage purposes. You could take it and this and I'll show you everything when this whole thing folds up It does and it goes up and so and you can see snake eyes here as he's on one of the pegs And uh, you'll also notice that this isn't one of the original gi joes Either is he he's from the gi joe versus or uh, yeah gi joe versus cobra line It came out in the early 2000s and you'll notice so these are compatible with this play set So which is really cool Um continuing around here, uh, we do have this other platform here. It doesn't really serve much of a purpose other than to put more gi joes Um, this this this set also has electronics now when I purchased this Um, that was one of the things I wanted to know if it worked Um, I did put batteries in it. I have the batteries over time that were in here were corroded I had to scrape it out the batteries are under the battery pack is underneath here. I don't think we can actually Kind of make it out It is a pain to change the batteries I took them out because you have to take this off. You have to take everything off. You have to lift this out It's just a real pain in the rear to do so But I can confirm that all the electronics do work on this. It is really cool. And it's your 90s annoying sound effects like that like the annoying machine gun or the Do-do-do-do-do-do-do Just horrible 90s military sounds that we got as a kid with the little guns Um, it also has a search light which I didn't have I still don't have a A bulb for to see if it worked, but it is here Uh, continuing on the lower level though, uh more pegs more pegs Uh, you will notice that I do have extra rockets Um when I went to complete this Extra rockets came with some of the rockets that I plot to complete this So which is cool because I was an area to store extra rockets for your rocket launchers and for your Uh rapid fire missile launcher here Uh, moving around here, we have uh lady j here and dial tone. I believe it's dial tone um And a computer console here the computer console does nothing. It's just neon orange Uh, but you do have some stickers down here. I don't know why they're down here Um, it's weird spot for them, but hey, you know, whatever And so that covers the bottom And here is where you would put the rocket launcher There you go So one more thing in the back here. I want to note I go moving up is it has this cool little hook Uh now this hook can come down And you could hook it To various vehicles or whatever, but one cool thing is you'll notice here on the back of their gizos Has that in from his hole Where the screw is but I also served as the place for the backpack um And it has a little hole here For the peg here for the hole So you can take this And just plug it into the back of the gijo Theoretically Uh has them stand here He's not 20 to stand there we go there we go And then just turn this and Turn turn turn and he can repel up Or down whichever And there down it goes So It's just a fun little feature. I mean you could also use it to hook up the back of vehicles and Let them hang the vehicles there so they can work on them easier. It is near the service station um, I also use it to kind of wrap around here and Hook to this when I fold it up and I'll show you that it just keeps this part from folding down at random times when I move it Um I love this place. I I really really do So moving up to the top here I have more joes. I fell down. We'll just remove him Uh more pegs more pegs more joes And I'll show you something now from the front here with these guys out of the way Uh, we just come over here Turn this back around There's one more feature in front now that we're on top that I wish to show you um And that is this feature here Um, you notice that this is kind of out of place. It's not black with the rest of it. It's not even green It's the wonderful 90s neon So this is what happens. Uh, we have this which if you push I'll back up here a bit so you can see I'm going to push this in and when I do That's going to collapse that So there you go Um, we got a piece on the warp Uh and shipwreck is still attached To do this he did not fall he's holding out pretty good there It looks like he's kind of yelling down how's how's things going down there Uh so All right, um, so now I'm going to go ahead and show you the um Folding up features here. I'm gonna let me grab this piece down real quick Reconnect this There we go. All right He's still looking down Okay, so This whole thing I have to take figures out here He was I actually have another shipwreck figure. It was newer From a few years ago. It came with the cobra commander But the peg the peg legs don't work if they're too small for these older pegs So so what you do here is you got to take your gijos Off the pegs here And this thing has a defense mode And I'm going to go ahead and put This back on Maybe hold on Let's dream close up There we go. All right. So this all folds up. I already showed you that this goes in Uh, this also comes up like so This also comes up. We've got figures attached. Uh, they may fall out Um This spins around He's probably gonna fall out So Him We'll go ahead and put this up Now this does have a habit of just kind of falling Falling around when I um When I move this around so what I'll do is I'll take this I'll wrap it around here and just kind of Attach to this and then it won't I can't even tighten it a bit too. So there we go. This is wherever And we turn it back around And now Now we have A fully fortified GI Joe headquarters Uh and easy to store So you can because you can't stack it on boxes or whatever you want. So Oh, the rather than just leaving it out now All right. Well, there you go. My friends. This is definitely one of my favorite play sets of all time I like that castle grace goal. Good to turtle sewer play set 92 GI Joe headquarters I absolutely love this thing now These go on eBay Complete like this for anywhere between I believe 150 to $250 roughly Here's the kicker. I got mine in the thrift store here in town. I bought this for three dollars I bought this whole thing for three dollars and it came with two bags with all the accessories and stuff like that And it and in the bag It also came half complete The mask boulder hill play set I kid you not I got all of that for three dollars And I'm in the process of completing the mask boulder hill play set I will go ahead as soon as it's complete and do a review of that as well Steve, I'm not kidding. I bought this complete for three Dollars and that's half off. It was six dollars It was six dollars. I got this half off for three dollars with the mask boulder hill play set The figure is not included. These are all my figures. Yeah, I kid you not Best find ever So Um, all right.
