I recently found out that there is GI JOE Repair Shop and Museum about two hours away from me. I planned on making a trip to check it out this Summer and initially thought it would involve having to take a day away from work as they are only open on Friday mornings for a few hours (by appointment only). Last Saturday, they had an open house so I jumped in the car and made a trip to see some GI JOE goodness. Spent a short time talking to the owner of the collection and he showed me some of the "talkers" he had repaired and told me a little about the repair business he runs out of the same building. Talked at length with the Curator about the collection and the displays. It's a small(ish) space at the moment, but nicely displayed and curated, and you can get right up to the figures to really check out the details. There is a fun WWII diorama set up with a beach landing leading into an uphill assault on some dug in German Soldiers. They have plans to expand the space into connecting buildings so there will be even more things on display in the future. I got a bunch of pics and thought I'd share a few. Great place to visit for GI JOE fans and collectors!
