Old G.I.Joe collection photo scans

Above is my figure collection in 1995.  There were two matching boxes and I don't know where they came from but I like matching things and it was about this time I swapped my figures into a G.I.Joe and a Cobra box.  In some ways it doesn't look like a lot of figures as my collection of figures grew quite a bit slowly and steadily up and into 2011.   It was still a lot from where I started.

Here's a spread of stuff in about 2004 as I was setting up the wall shelves in about 2004.

Below is more in late 2004 and likely early 2005.  I found a parts Dragonfly somewhere. 

This was the set up in the living room of my apartment in 2003-2004 or so.  It was a two room.  Ultimately I didn't want to "takeover" the living room and I moved it into the main room with the wall shelves.  We had a friend living in our 2nd bedroom around this time, too.

 

Gijoe in-store end cap display 2024 building kits

With the 1982-1985 G.I.Joe logo standing out to me from way down the aisle I had to go take a look.  It's the largest display of G.I.Joe anything I have seen at a store in a very long time.

Sale price seen here went through yesterday and might have still been good today but I still really didn't want any.  There's more on the upper shelf to the left, too.

The Retaliation Ninja Cruiser seemed out of place with a 1983 H.I.S.S. and Skystriker.  I didn't look hard but if a big pack of the mini figures were there I would have possibly bought that.

What do you think? 

Are these awesome?  Better than 2012's Kreo G.I.Joe?   Another excuse to make a separate Facebook group for another format of G.I.Joe?   Go, team, go?
