Welcome to the Outpost. 1994 was the year I graduated and went off to college. G.I. Joe was well into my rear view mirror so far I couldn’t see it any longer.

It was the best and worse dollar I ever spent. 1994 was going to be the end…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. 1993, what can I say about this year? G.I. Joes didn’t really look like a military line anymore. There were a bunch of mail away figures, Street Fighter, Ninja Force, Star Brigade, and very bright Mega Marines. Desert Storm was fresh in the minds of Americans and Hasbro did not jump on making the characters in desert garb. They went a different direction and seemed to try and separate from the military. This is an interesting line though. I like a lot of the figures like…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. 1992 was an interesting year for me as far as G.I.Joe collecting goes. I had gotten interested in many things. I was in drama club, chorus, played soccer, basketball, and baseball, joined the volunteer fire department, and still held down my job where I was washing dishes and learning how to cook as well. G.I. Joe was still cranking out some cool stuff that I was completely oblivious to. As I mentioned before I was extremely lucky to pick up this line in a collection I…
