Were you a G.I.JOE or Transformers kid?

[EvanL]

I only had a few gi joes when i was younger. Wasnt lucky enough to have more than about 2 of them and a vehicle. I liked micro machines though. The army ones. They were so much mor rrealistic.

[mocking_loudly_died]

I have way to many JOE's.

But I was partial to some good old fashioned robot action!

[ßå$tĮТHÏ¿ð]

I had alot of G.I. joes ...the best toy ever created except for lego. woot

[mocking_loudly_died]

Don't tell to many people but I'm actually Snake Eye's.

[FallenAngel]

Transformers rock :)

[Ratamacue]

I'm going to have to go with LEGOS!!!

[Seraphim]

Both, you should create a new option.

[BMF]

i was all about transformers, legos and the thundercats at that age. still have a couple of the old vintage transformers at home. and i dont have any trouble admitting i still have a VHS of the transformers movie. a true classic if ive ever seen one

[James]

No, Joe!

You make me laugh out loud... rofl

Who is the guy with the chrome dome? I can't remember the character's name.

[mocking_loudly_died]

Who is the guy with the chrome dome? I can't remember the character's name.

Destro.

He was a Scot weapons dealer, he invented the SA-80....

[James]

Methinks Argyll, then, or Gordon. Hmm...

[96B]

G.I. Joe all the way! Back in the day I would spend COUNTLESS hours building lego ships, planes etc

[Gringo]

I liked both, but I prefered Transformers more. But I have still got a GI Joe F16 :D .

[Erik]

I had also both, but G.I JOE was the favorite one. Actually it was Action Force or something here in Europe.

If I remember correctly I have lots of them at home (parent's place), at least vehicles and choppers. Hmm, there's this AH1, and this twin propeller chopper, tomahawk?

[Guttorm]

Yes, it was called Action Force over here.

And I had TONS of planes, cars and stuff... Lost count of how many different figures I had.

Wonder where they all are now...

[Fargin]

Old school action-manTM all the way and sometimesif BarbieTM had a headache, he'd get the freak on with My-little-ponyTM.

[Apogee]

GI Joe all the way baby. Check the Avatar...

[Seoulstriker]

i didn't have gi joe or transformers or barbie.

i had LEGOs!!! i had so much fun with the lego sets creating my own worlds. oh well. good times.

[usa320]

I had matchbox, lego, Micro Machines, GI Joe and Transformers.

[Nawlins]

I had a couple Barbies... but I don't have issues, cause I'm a girl. I also played with my brothers' Transformers and Legos, cause damn, those were cool toys. I don't remember any of us ever having GI Joes. I watched the cartoon sometimes though.

[usa320]

A bunch of us kids used to get together and each build a city and an army outta legos, then we would spend the next few days systemattically destroying them.

:fork:

rofl

[NcDeuce]

Neither...it was Legos, "War" outside, video games, or wrestling. ;)

[MCWARPIG]

Old school here. Remember vaguely the full size GI Joe himself and Stretch Armstrong. But by the time I was old enought to play..it was Star Wars and GI Joe. They eventually suffered horrible casualties by way of "recreational ordinance."

You may all pay respects to many of the fallen: Boboa Fett, Luke, Chewbacha, Han, about a dozen storm troopers, Dozer, Snakeeyes, Duke, that Marine guy, and many others in several tiny graves somewhere in Ft. Ord California.

[Operation Ivy]

I had GiJOES but my fave had to be

Double Dragons!...i think im the only one who ever liked those toys/show

[budanski]

Barbie. The blow-up kind.

[Seoulstriker]

Barbie. The blow-up kind.

[Salty Dog]

call me crazy, but not only did i love gi joes, i also loved teenage mutant ninja turtles, and Heman as well http://drs.yahoo.com/S=96062883/K=Heman/v=2/l=IVI/*-

[Salty Dog]

i botched that post pretty good

[Scrim]

When I was a kid, all the neighbourhood kids played with Star Wars figures. There was this one kid who had all the figures, but his mum wouldnt let him take them out of the boxes. So there we'd be playing in the dirt, the Rebels storm the Imperial base and come face to face with Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers... still on their cards, propped up against a rock or something. Man we picked on that kid, he's probably a millionaire now.

[TRACER_BULLET]

woot GIJOE, Legos, Micro Machines & Match Box cars are the ones i grew up playing with

[Dalleer]

I was a GI Joe fan as well, I remember reading the comic books while they were still published back here, it was only natural that one day they stopped publishing the comic and I was pretty heartbroken about it...

But Transformers were cool as well. I remember getting the GI JOE guys into fights against the transformers and...and....damn, my life was so care free those days.

[Splinter26]

Barbie. The blow-up kind.


Same here budanski, but I popped mine by accident and now I'm lonely.

[BMF]

im probably dating myself...but i was transformers/thundercats. liono was the man. and the OLD G.I Joes, the big ol' 12 inch figures, not the lil tiny ones from nowadays. i did like the cartoon though

[ShotOver]

I used to get G.I Joes, and played with Lego a hell of a lot of the time.

Great fun.

[Tbone]

Full size GI JOE and LEGO/Star Wars. 30 years later still enjoy both. They are a nice distraction from the world.

First time post.

woot

[molly747]

I grew up in a family of all girls. I was more into My Little Pony, Mr. Potato Head, Rainbow Brite, and Barbies.

[zonk]

i liked both

[Aerosoul]

lmao, another one.

[Zarathustra]

:roll:

[Falco]

Lego all the way woot woot woot

[Eat a bullet]

Noooooooooooooooooooooo!

[mudbunny]

YO JOE!!!!!!!

I was G.I Joe all the way. My brothers and I had a ****load of guys and vehicles too. I always like being Cobra, I thought they had the cooler vehicles.

[Hawkeye]

Lego all the way woot woot woot

x2 lego!!!

[zonk]

lego was the ****

[Aerosoul]

Roger.

[Zarathustra]

and me...?

[MARINO]

I was both GI JOE and Tranformer, but the military is always the best ;)

[mudbunny]

I have the first G.I Joe comic book somewhere. I don't suppose anyone knows how much it is worth?

[ronin2172]

I have the first G.I Joe comic book somewhere. I don't suppose anyone knows how much it is worth?
depends on the shape it is in...

Pristine
Mint
Near Mint
good

anything less than that and it aint worth crap.......
You can go to a library or comic book store and get an Overstreet guide...they have the most accurate pricing guide and is the industry standard

[One_A]

I was defintely a GIJoe kid. I had quite a few Joes and some vehicles. I still have the one that is basically a Humvee with guns mounted on the side and top. As for Cobra figures, I was the only kid I knew who had only a dozen Viper troops instead of the individually named characters.

[NcDeuce]

I was either playing with Legos or outside playing Army. :lol:

[walford]

Xformers didn't exist when I was a kid. GI Joe was about a foot tall in those days. A few friends had them, but most of us boys were'nt interested in playing with dolls unless fire/explosives were involved. Capturing a Barbie for interrogation was a special treat.

My favorite toys had wheels or tracks.

[MaDuce]

Now the kids are into soft core japanese **** cartoons like DBZ and the new Looney Toons :fork:

[Stormy]

GI Joe! but I also like Transformers alot.

[RS_Leo1A5]

G.I. Joe - although that toy line was called "Action Force" here in Germany (and disappeared from stores somewhen in the early 90s).

yeah but i had some g.i.joes because we were in the netherlands very often on weekends and there they had the name g.i. joe, too. But they weren't really big here. I had starwars figures some masters of the universe (my brother had ****loads), a few transformers (no optimus prime :petting:) , LEGO, playmobil, ****loads of matchbox cars and....
:oops: :oops: :oops: CARE BEARS woot

http://www.kollectomania.co.uk/images/TG6.jpg
i think even in elementary school. We had more girls in class and all the boys were brainwashed. And soon we all had them.

no need to be sorry, i think i burned some of them later...
;) And real guys don't hide their week moments :cantbeli:

:lol:

[pathfinder82]

err....both. They were both quality toys. However I was definitely more of a GI Joe guy.

That was actually the only thing I ever stole in my life, a GI Joe guy from Toys R US. I feel much guilt. :oops:

I too had a care bear, yet I have no Idea why, nor do I remember how I got the thing, its probably worth some money now. I think it was the shamrock one or something.

[Q]

G.i Joe but i prefered lego and micro machines.

[WolverineBlue]

GI Joe, until I pulled a stunt where I traded about 200 dollars worth of my GI Joe stuff to some kid for a freaking Monogram B-17 model kit.

My second grade mentality allowed me to glue the nose glass on the hole where the ball turret would suspend from. After my dad kicked my ass, he took the model apart and rebuilt it...

[punchinout]

G.I. all the freakin way

[Johnny_H02]

Is it really difficult to take a guess where I started?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/JohnnyH/100_0592.jpg

[Eat a bullet]

I had transformers, but I also had the gay GI Joe with the parrot.

[stuntman]

I liked the Gi Joe cartoon because of the Barenist. I was never partial to the action figures. Although now I collect 1/6th replicas so go figure.

Truth is I loved my Transformers, I used to love Grimlock
http://www.ishkur.com/suckysites/spaceraverz/grimlock.jpg
but I could never figure out why he was always mad? Plus his love of energon cubes. I always thought they tasted like grapes(don't ask lol).

I remember I cryed when Optimus Prime died. I also remember thinking Ultra Magnus was the one who would open up the Matrix on the junk planet but he was destroyed(because he couldn't open the matrix) by a renegade StarScream and I just couldn't take the suspence when he was destroyed. later on when Hot Rod(later Rodimus Prime) opened the matrix I just couldn't believe he would be the successor and leader of the Autobots.

Another favorite toy I had was Voltron
http://www.geocities.com/Temple_of_Primus/Pic/voltron.jpg
Not many friends had them. But they were my prized possession. They would never leave my house.

Childhood was pretty cool for me. Thx God!

[mudbunny]

Another favorite toy I had was Voltron

oh ****, I forgot about Voltron. That cartoon was the SHIZNITFFELIT!!!!!!!
At the end some bad ass enemy robot would always come flyin down from the sky in a coffin and Voltron would have to fight him. Of course, knowing now that it was a Japanese cartoon, there were probably subliminal scenes of Voltron sodomizing a young Japanese girl in the woods with his long, steel arm.

[Zarathustra]

:(

[Yupa]

Back in like 88 or 89 I collected these toys called Dino Rider's where it was a bunch of dinosaurs with lil people, and guns, and lil comic book's...I thought it was great. Oh, and I was a big Gi Joe fan.
