I was just a bit too young for the 12" joes... but I was given a lot of stuff from my neighbors like the mobile support vehicle. I remember playing "Damnation Alley" with it and my star wars figs. That was half the fun of toys back then-- took a lot more imagination.
Where is a naked GI Joe. You have to get him in his winter uniform. I wrote my name on my brother’s GI Joe box and I got my ass kicked. I was 7. Oh and we found the box resently at our mother’s house and he started arguing with me again about it after 40+ years.
Did they know what they had? On one hand it’s great to find treasures like this, but on the other it’s always sad to see people’s childhoods going dirt cheap.
It was a company that managed the estate sale. They usually don’t tell you the circumstances but most likely it was someone who passed away and the company manages the pricing.
I was just looking online at the Peter Pan Book & Record sets for adventure team GI Joe. I was just old enough to get the 11” joes and then just young enough to still be interested in the real American hero reboot in the 80s. Magical.
Love it, might have to try to snag one of those. I've been hiking the trail the last 10 years. Would be cool to have a keepsake beyond the patches I buy at every resupply stop we make.
Lmao no I mean that same figure with the kung fu grip was in this box when I bought it, wasn’t originally included! Your parents definitely got you the real deal lol. Bet that van setup was awesome too 🙌
Cool! What’s your Mom making for dinner?
Hamburger helper, maybe the cheesy one if we're lucky.
Aw hell yeah!
Hamburger helper for the win
Not sure, want some?
If we get to keep playing GI Joes!
Anything for the almighty batwing
Shake and Bake and I helped.
Ohhh! You get extra pie!
Nice Mobile Support Vehicle. I have one on the top shelf in my office.
That’s awesome! The mobile support vehicles were always one of the coolest lol
Does the motor that turns the roof radar dish still work?
Haven’t tried that yet! Based off of other pieces missing and overall condition I’d have to assume it doesn’t lol
G. I. Joe was a huge part of my early childhood in the 70s. This sure brings back a lot of memories because I had all of this back then.
Glad it brought back some memories for you!
AT II! I had one.
The adventure team sets are the best!
I had the Devil of the Deep set.
One of my favorites
I had the radio station. This is cool stuff
They don’t make em like they used to that’s for sure! It’s cool to still come by stuff like this

Those are some good neighbors right there! Definitely took a lot more imagination, that’s what made it all even more special 🙌

That’s pretty awesome
Thanks! They don’t make em like they used to.
Nice finds there!
For sure! I was excited lol

Im jealous of anyone that got to play with any GI Joe gear as I was too poor at that age.
Looks like you got some parts to the big training tower. Big box, probraly was full of Adventure team GI Joes you missed.
Yup those are the training center parts I looked they didn’t have the rest of them. They did have a couple other smaller adventure team sets too.

Hahah magical indeed!
I might have passed out if I came we across this gi Joe lot.
Wow!
Wish I had a few of those. We pretty much set them on fire and shot them with our pellet rifles or blow them up with fireworks.
Well, as long as you had fun 😂
That big yellow van has the Appalachian Trail's logo on it. Is that an official AT toy or is that just a sticker?
That is an official AT toy and the adventure team logo!
Wow, I had no idea the AT had merch beyond stickers and patches. That's super fun.
O yes, they have a whole line of AT toys and sets released mostly in the 70s
Love it, might have to try to snag one of those. I've been hiking the trail the last 10 years. Would be cool to have a keepsake beyond the patches I buy at every resupply stop we make.
Definitely look into buying some! They’re great memories and shelf pieces for sure
“ I’ve got a tough assignment for you ! “ - GI Joe Commander
Man I had a few of those, including the Submarine. Only two of the action figures left and they have gone floppy with age.
They’re pretty awesome for sure!
I had the GI Joe w/ the KungFu grip plus the deep sea outfit!
That’s awesome! That figure with the kung fu grip was in the Devil of the deep box
Ok I guess my parents got me the budget version🤣they did get me the evil knievel with his scramble van outfit, the whole nine!🤣
Lmao no I mean that same figure with the kung fu grip was in this box when I bought it, wasn’t originally included! Your parents definitely got you the real deal lol. Bet that van setup was awesome too 🙌
Yeeeees I had tons of hours of fun all by myself as a lil black kid in the projects in the 70’s😆
Hahah long as you had fun and made good memories that’s what matters !
WOW!
What are the odds that Axis and Allies has all the game pieces?
High odds! 100% complete 🙌
I had that yellow mobile command center thing. I had tons of fun with it. Sold all my gear to my younger cousins and they got a lot of use out of it.
They don’t make em like they used to! Glad you could pass it on for others to get some enjoyment out of it 🙌
Old school Appalachian Trail badge on that vehicle.
Fighting man from head to toe....
I liked that support vehicle, but my favorite was a Jeep I got that had a spring loaded rocket launcher on the back.
Those were badass
My parents got me a GI Joe in the 70s. I think they thought it would butch me up. I would take the shirt off and sleep with it.
Haha I mean hey to each their own 🤷♂️
So cool! Thanks for the heart bump.
Hope it brought back some fun memories!
The 12 inch G.I. Joe represents the peak era in toys.
Agreed !
Mobile support vehicle!!!! Got one in 1973. Best toy I ever had.
Such a classic!
Minus the ghost striker lol
