TRU had these for $99.99 a while back so waited and found K-Mart had them on clearance for $49.

I had this as a toy back in the early 80's and I played with it until it fell apart. And when we moved houses, it never came with us. I finally found one at a decent price and it was in nearly mint condition. So I took the plunge.

VOOOOOOOLT IN!

An excellent grab, Amja99! Classic and nostalgic. What it may lack in pose ability, it certainly makes up for in durability..practically all metal construction. Plus magnets, projectiles, and the sword from his chest was icing on the cake. It is an awesome toy and difficult collectible to find in good shape. You should take pics of him in his five individual vehicles too!

Today's finds @ "The Reject Shop" sort of like a ROSS or TJ Maxx chain.

that thing was A HUNDRED DOLLARS ?!?!?

the original USS Flagg 30-ish years ago didn't cost that much. I realise inflation and rising oil prices have changed the value and pricing of toys over time but geez. I can get 2 Leader-scale Transformers for that money, or 4 Voyager-scale.

no wonder no-one makes vehicles anymore.

edit: apparently TRU's $100 price is way out there, the MSRP from Hasbro is $49.99.

I'm a huge fan of these new, smaller vehicles Hasbro are making for the Black Series 6" line. I hope we get more after the dewback.

Sounds like these are dissapearing from Walmarts and Targets, I would expect to see these at Marshalls/Ross/TJ Maxx/Ollies in about a month or so.

I picked up Rey's Speeder from Amazon when it went down to $25, I'm pretty sure the price will drop again.

I had checked YoJoe.com for MSRP before posting, they claim $89.99.
I did so because I recall it being $99.99 in the Sears catalog that year and wanted to verify, and that's faster than trying to hunt down images from old catalogs.

edit:
catalog images:
G.I. Joe Toy Catalogs 1982 – 1991 – ToyRewind
in 1985 Sears had it for $109.99. Wards was $125.
in 1986 Sears jumped the price to $149.99.
I must have been thinking of some other band. Possibly Kay-Bee in-store price.
