I got into GI Joe collecting in 2007 when Walmart had the 5 Adventure Team figures. I managed to track down all 5 of that wave ( I still can't believe the retail price was $9.99 each....what a bargain). After that, I managed to get the reproduction Soldier/Sailor/Airman/Marine all from eBay for fairly reasonable prices (this was just before Walmart carried those). I think those would have all been from the 40th Anniversary line. Also, picked up some stuff from the Timeless Collection like the Talking Action Pilot, Perilous Rescue, Military Police, and Action Sailor along with a Mercury Astronaut from the Classic Collection.
The only vintage stuff I have is a footlocker and an early, boxed Space Capsule. The box and capsule are really nice (box still has the store price sticker on the top $6.89 !), but some of the Astronaut uniform and equipment pieces are missing, along with the instructions and 45 soundtrack record. My footlocker has the tray, but most of the equipment pieces are missing.
Now, I am kind of interested in some of the re-imagined/reproduction pieces and uniforms that Cotswold is selling for the FALCON and Atomic Man lines.
What is everyone else collecting?
