I can’t afford the comics I want, so new toys are out of the question.  Hoping to finally hit my storage unit this weekend and dig out my original Star Wars stuff

It's a harsh mistress to balance, that's for sure. If this wasn't a gift there's no way I'd be buying it.

Pickups from Hasbro and Amazon BF sales have started to trickle in. Going to wait until Xmas to open these up!

Anybody build one of these?

Hit my storage unit today and did a little digging...

This dude was one of my faves...

My absolute favourite toy....ever

Sold my entire GI JOE collection many moons ago, so I was surprised to see this mixed in with my Star Wars stuff...

Hell yeah, and he looks sharp! I used to love playing with one of these at my aunt's house when I was a kid. She did a lot of babysitting, and she had this in her assortment of toys for the kids. I always wished he was mine. I was pricing them a couple of years ago, but haven't found one in nice shape with a decent box at a price I want to pay...at least not yet. Yours looks great!

He’s in great shape.  I was always pretty careful with my toys.  I have a shogun somewhere too.  The battles they used to have

Got the two GI Joe gliders. Viper has the foam unpunched.

Loved the Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman.  The television shows eventually went a bit off the rails, but for kids, it was good stuff.  The toys were very imaginative for the time, I think.

  

I miss my Six Million dollar man stuff. Especially my Bigfoot.  
 

This is all that remains...

Sweeet! That is a real grail there. My best friend has a complete collection of figures and vehicles, from 82-89, and for years, the last piece he needed was the Viper Glider. He finally found one about two years ago, but it was a hunt, and it wasn't unpunched like this! This is something special for sure, congrats.

Thank you. I was amazed at it. Here’s its brother.

Uhm, that is in superb shape.   

I could see it 100 times and will never get tired of the toy.   Kudos. 

It may be one of the best all-time toys.
