Back in the early '90s I was informed that my entire GI Joe collection which was extensive and included all of the major vehicles and figures was sold at a yard sale. My reaction at the time was "oh well...". Man, what I would give just to have some of my action figures back.

Oh, man. I used to have most of these as a kid. I only kept all the figures from 1982-1990. You sir have taken me back in time, remembering how I used to play with these. Great collection!

Flash was my brother's favorite; my favorite was Breaker. Thanks for sharing, I had nearly all of they toys from 82-89. I only kept my favorite 12 figures that my two boys like to play with from time to time.

So cool.the memories these bring back .....its priceless.

Dang, I really love that Night Raven! Definitely my favorite Cobra vehicle.

Oh wow thanks for putting this together for our 80s nostalgia.

And this is why your the gold standard in Gi Joe collecting! Thank you for all the hard work!!!

This brings back memories. Kids today wouldn't know what to do with this stuff and probably go online to see what storylines they could find to fill their blank imaginations. LOL We even went outside to play with toys, imagine that?

I'm 45 and as Vader would say quite Impressive, dam Hasbro should pay this guy royalties for his show casing his collection!!

Nice display room you got. Watching your channel has got me off my butt to start setting up my vintage joe collection, working on getting some shelving units right now. I am really enjoying going through my childhood collection, lots of memories.

you have the best collection that I've ever seen!! hands down bro!! keep up the good work and thanks for the great video 💪👍👍

Thank you for all your reviews. Always enjoy watching them. You'd be surprised how much watching these mean to some people.

Notice in the Artic theme early on everyone is dressed for the elements, EXCEPT SGT.SLAUGHTER... What a badass dude don't need no jacket.

THANK YOU Kevin, Thank you for sharing your collection with us.

Totally awesome vintage GI Joe collection you have there. I love how everything there is, is set up.

Congrats on your 5 years ,, epic collection , thank u for sharing ,,,

Awesome collection!!!

Awesome collection!

Hello formbx257, I'm years, first time I'm writing, beautiful collection, I have only 3 characters, one plane and one 4x4, I collect cars not GIJOES, I must admit that I like the way you present the toys as a child saw the cartoons and I loved. I congratulate you for the great achievement of bringing together all those toys and also you make me remember my childhood years, keep going, I keep you from far south of America, at the end of the continent. Greetings. ThunderGTR

Very nice collection. Congrats. Its funny the first two figures my mom ever got me were FLASH and MAJOR BLUDD. They also hold a very special place in my heart.

Cool! I love your G.I.Joe figures! I love the 1980's and 90's G.I.Joe!

Now that is so amazing to bring me back to my childhood thank you so much!☺

Your collection is INCREDIBLE! I am from Argentina and my parents bought me a lot of gi joe vehicles and figures in the 80s, I bought by myself more stuff in the 90s, I lost everything and some months ago I started buying vehicles and figures again, I keep getting them :)

Great collection! I love how you have the Tomahawk. With the light from the window coming through the inside. Great use of the Steel Brigade guys...Love it.

Thanks for sharing your amazing collection! Excellent review!

I have three toy boxes full of Joes myself. I could never let the go. Was always hoping to pass them on to a son. However, two daughters later. I digress, kool collection.

Awesome job! It takes me back.

Awesome video... I just started collecting after M.I.A for around 30 years. Gosh I wish I were still a kid with all the ones I used to have

I like the way how you actually display your Joe vehicles and figures. I purchased two 1987 Cobra Sea Rays and two complete Sea Slugs navigators to man them. Earlier this year, I won a bid on a 1988 Cobra BUGG complete with the blueprints and a Secto-Viper. I purchased another Secto-Viper and a few duplicate accessories to compliment both of the Secto-Vipers.

Awesome collection. Really wish I had all my figures, mine were from the 90’s though. They just don’t make things like they used to. So much detail.

When I saw your photos of this on Facebook my first thought was "Dude, you are sooooo 12" my 2nd thought was "damn it I want to be 12 too" lol. Its good to be a kid at heart

Awesome looking

Great collection, man. They really don't make toys like they used to, I don't know why. Back when they made great playsets, vehicles, and figures kids didn't get toys as much as they do today. I mean, it doesn't make sense, back in the day maybe one kid was lucky enough to have his parents buy him a USS Flagg, if they made stuff like that now they would barely be able to make them fast enough to sell. It's a real shame. The new Joe figures are really well designed but they just don't feel right to me, probably just nostalgia that makes the old stuff better to me.

I really appreciate this video. I am going to be displaying my G. I. Joe figures in my house soon and I have been looking for ideas how to do it.

oh my heavenly stars!!!! I have had sooo many of these!

Excellent collection. Thanks for the share.

Thank you for sharing your collection in this video. This video gave me flash backs. You have a great collection. The 1980's GI Joe toy line has to be the greatest toy series of all time. The share size and variety alone made play adventurist. The compatibility made the universe infinite. I wish I could had been able to troop build when I was 10.

Fantastic collection !!!

very impressive! I'm 30 tomorrow and got lucky enough to grow up with vintage gi joes that I got from one of my dads friends when his son who was older didn't want them anymore. I've only been collecting over a year but have gotten a pretty large collection, but those big pieces like the Flagg, defiant , sears cobra hq, and rolling thunder I still need. I'm glad I seen these shelves as I'm running out of space and thought these shelves wouldn't work due to the holes in them but I like what you've done with the white cardboard pieces I'm assuming. Love the videos and the collection thanks for the videos!

14:02 I'll be damned... it NEVER occurred to me that the outward notches on the Terrordrome were for the jetpacks they had. Kind of like how in the Headquarters, the "garage" was built for pretty much every vehicle up to that point. Touche' Hasbro... touche' Great collection, though admittedly, I was a bit thrown to see two Copperheads in the Moccasin. Fantastic way to occupy a bedroom, though.

Wonderful collection GI Joe's.

Excuse my French but that was fucking amazing

Kevin AWESOME COLLECTION LOVE THEM 80S Vintage GI Joes I've got about 20 to 30 Figures from my early Childhood yrs" Love seeing your Videos Keep em Coming!!!! Dude;) Yo Joe!!!!!!

That's some unbelievable nostalgia there! Awesome!! I still remember that Stalker was my first Joe. Of my many, many childhood figures most unfortunately fell victim to BB guns and firecrackers lodged in their rubber banded torsos. I was such a stupid little POS......But I still have my Lady Jaye safe and sound as I could never bring myself to harm her. She's packed in a storage box somewhere in my shed, and I believe she's sitting in the driver's seat of a red convertible '62 T-Bird model.

this video rocks i remember when i had some j.i. joe toy's back then you see i'm a 80s baby LOL

These toys were great... Hours and hours of fun and new imaginatives adventures. Wish I had a delorean to travel back in time...

lovely collection

Awesome collection

Great collection! Love the cobra shirt you are wearing. Judging by the amount of fading on the shirt I can see you love it too. Always enjoy your youtube videos!

Wow, that is an amazing collection.

Looking at your collection makes me want to clean mine up! Not to long ago I cleaned my Flagg in soap and water along with a couple other vehicles, got to say that took time lol. Your collection looks mint sharp and clean. Very good video.

Awesome collection my friend!

Nice collection!!! I love your videos, keep up the good work

I'm liking the MISSILE COMMAND CENTER & the Sears Exclusive collection! I'm super jealous right now.. haha great video!

Great collection. This wakes up memories. Here in Germany they renamed GI Joe in "Action Force". Same toys but on the package was written Action Force instead of GI Joe. Never understood why they did that. In every other country they called it GI Joe. Maybe they thought GI Joe sounds to military for german kids. Anyhow.......great to see people like you still have fun collecting these great toys :)

ganimed1976 maybe for German nationalism? Know there'd be some cool German antiterrorism based action figures if someone made them.

thats one fine collection, congrats man.

Sweet collection Kevin soon i will be making a video showing my collection too. Great video

dont think ive seen the Mobile Command Centre of the Joes in your collection, that was a huge set as well :) but this is just an amazing collection m8 YOOO JOE !!!

Nice collection!

badass great collection

Great collection you've got there. It doesn't look like you got into the army building craze too much (which is probably a good thing). I got back into Joe in the mid 2000's and started hitting up ebay, buying up all the stuff I missed as a kid. It's funny, but some of the harder stuff for me to find was stuff like Star Brigade, which nobody seemed to care about, but some of those '94 figures ended up being pretty elusive MOC (at least for a price I was willing to pay). At last count I had around 3000 figures (on card and loose) separated into three big Rubbermaid tubs along with countless boxes of vehicles. I bought all of the different lines of Joe including new sculpt, 25th, ARAH, even a few of the Sigma Six, but ARAH will always be my favorite. They kind of priced me out of the market with the collector's club stuff, so I don't collect much anymore, but I would never sell my Joes. Great to see others that have similar passions. I'll have to check out some of your other videos. By the way, what's your favorite piece in your collection. Do you still collect? What's your holy grail of Joe?

+kingjredmon Thanks for watching! I do still collect, focusing on 1987-1991. I'm not planning on buying everything, though. Just the stuff that looks interesting. My holy grail is a Consumers Distributing Cobra Motorized Tank, but my favorite vehicle is the '83 Skystriker! I don't have a holy grail figure, but my favorite is '83 Flash.

That is beyond epic!

amazing collection fxxking brilliant money well spent I only have a few figures vintage are the best.

Very Nice! Love your videos!

I really wish Hasbro would reissue the Terrordrome, USS Flagg and the Defiant space station playsets.

AWESOMENESS!!

Love the collection. You do need to get a Matt tracker figure sometime

I can not say anything other than that it's really amazing!

Nice video Kevin, I'm always excited when you post a new video. By the way, I enjoyed the mini Cobra Hiss, I'm hoping just like you they release a couple more items to include a Cobra Rattler.

I only have a few left I wish I kept them like you did just two thunder machine's and two sets of dreadnoks and one Zantac

awesome collection!! Brings back such fond memories. One thing I remember having that I did not see was a line of tiger stripes GI Joe vehicles. I don't remember the exact name of them, but they were cobra vehicle repainted with the Tiger stripes & used by the Joe's I believe. I had the cobra rattler in that scheme. If u know what I'm talking about please let me know what they were called

hi sir im from Philippines Nice Video sir :) Awww I would like to Have some of your G.I. joe

awesome!!!

Did you ever buy the 90's toy line from the cartoons after the GI Joe movie? lots of the vehicles were super colorful and so were the figures.

Hi Kevin, would you do one day a review of how you storage your figures in those licensed G.I.Joe boxes? I'm curious on how practical they are for collectors with a big number of figures. Thank you and nice weekend!!
