Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. 1990 was the dawn of a new era not only for G.I. Joes but for humanity itself. We were in the dwarf stages of a technological explosion. Yes we had plenty of electronics in the eighties but the internet and cell phones were on the verge of changing the world. This just happened to be the last year I would receive Joes for Christmas. There were still some solid Joes like Salvo, Sub-Zero, and Rampart non of which I got this year. I did get some…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. 1989 was another crazy year for me. Life started moving pretty fast. I was making some pretty good cash working at the restaurant at this point but there weren’t any stores within a half hour of me so I wasn’t going out and getting every G.I.Joe I wanted. So once more I would bank on Christmas Day and this proved to be another great year. There were some cool G.I.Joe sub teams like Python Patrol, cool vehicles like the Crusader, (I still have my original), and…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m jumping right into the G.I.Joe’s released in 1988. This was a year for me. I had gotten a job washing dishes at the local restaurant. I learned how to drive (a few years before I was legal), and once again I got a major haul, along with my brothers, for X-Mas. I had a Phantom, Warthog, and a Tigerfly, all cool vehicles. I also got several cool figures like Voltron, Hit & Run, and Iron Grenadier. This was a solid year that I really…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. 1987 is a year a lot of G.I. Joe fans started to loose interest. The original fans were getting older and some did not like the whole Cobra La theme. Then there were those who were just getting interested in G.I. Joe. For me I was just getting rolling. I loved the movie and once again my brothers and I got most of the vehicles and figures from this year. This year I knew what was mine was theirs and what was theirs was mine. I…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Many G.I. Joe fans feel 85 was the hey day for the franchise. I love 85, but 1986 was the first year I got figures and vehicles that were mine. Even though my brother and I always shared it was still nice to say this one is mine. My older brother bought Wet-Suit on a trip to Canada that year. For Christmas I got Serpentor, Thrasher, and Low-Light. My brothers also got Sci-Fi, Motor Viper, and Lift-Ticket. Over all we got almost every figure and vehicle…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. 1985 was one of the best years for G.I. Joe. Some of the all time greats came out for vehicles including the holy grail U.S.S. Flagg. My brother got a Snow Cat and the Crimson Twins this year. These are still some of my all time favorites. I also was able to get my hands on some birthday cash and buy Footloose and Shipwreck. I also got a Crankcase that year but I think that was my younger brother’s. Any hoot Shipwreck was one of my…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. 1984 proved to be another great year of G.I.Joe collecting for my brother, you may notice a pattern. He got a Rattler along with Scrap Iron. Both great figures that I got to play with but they still were not mine. I think most of you all know my story of how I didn’t get Spirit but I may or may not have mentioned my favorite figure I did get for my birthday that year, Recondo. Now this is a great figure. Once again right from…
