I enjoy the drek as much as the desirable pieces.

Looks like it was never played with.

Pat, here's my old one (which I mentioned in @comix4fun's post that I foolishly sold - sorry about the blur, but the image is the actual one I posted in an old "Post Your Garage Sale Finds" thread).

It's a snapping mouth action JAWS, held together by two elastic bands, with the weight of the parts keeping it from closing.

The game includes a fishing hook which the player uses to remove junk parts from the mouth.  As each part is removed, the jaw closes ever so slightly so the object of the game is to remove as many parts as possible before the mouth snaps shut.

For anyone considering buying a used one, unless it's sealed like Chris', you have to watch out for repro junk parts (which are usually cast in different colours - I remember the original ones either being blue or white. The other is the rubber-molded teeth which seem too often to have been glued back on after breaking off from play wear. The eyes for some reason on these are prone to peeling off with time, so take a good look and compare as they may be repro stickers.

Holy Flashbacks Robin! I think I had this as a child!

I'm not sure but it looks really familiar!

Thanks! I'm tempted to open one or two of them, but the box art is so great One of my buds from Instagram has a storage unit full of Joe and Star Wars stuff here in SoCal.

I found these behind the counter at Toys R Us. They had the whole wave. Unfortunately they can’t sell them until April, but they did save them for me

What! Does this mean X-23 is going to be involved in the next Deapool movie?

I've got to get these, thanks for the heads up .

Very nice Super Powers.

Maybe not the place to post this - but does anyone know of a G.I. Joe site like the CGC Boards where you can buy AFA grades Joes? I am clearly not a collector of figures by any means but really want to get an Original Cobra B.A.T. graded figure still on its card (been scouring Ebay but not a ton on there). 

Feel free to PM and sorry if the wrong place to post

Odd, that one was fairly common as an army-builder. Surprised you haven't had any luck yet. Have you looked on yojoe.com? It's been ages since I went in their forums as it seemed like mostly loose figure collectors, but they may have some sort of buy/sell area like here. It's either that or try some dealer sites like brian's toys.

Thanks I will give that a try.  I am not at all familiar with collecting toys - that GI Joe figure just has sentimental value to me, so I would like to pick one up.

Any other toy dealers or websites to checkout?

No Prob. We can only hope X23 will be in the new movie or at least lead into an X-Force movie.

I love these, I remember when they were on clearance at Target and TJ Maxx/Ross, and I bought a bunch of 'em. I sold them all off, wish I'd kept a couple, as they're drying up and prices are starting to spike (particularly on the Target exclusive stuff.)

Oh man, this was the ONE Go-Bot that I bought. I remember seeing it on the shelf at Zayre's, and I fell in love. Never bought another one and it was always an oddball in my TFormers lineup, but I still love that car design. Very cool!

Luckily I picked up the Cobra Rattler the other year. It's going for over $100 now!

I know, it's nuts! I remember when you could find them clogging aisles for under $20. Really kicking myself these days. Congrats on the scores!
