GI Joe mail-away/promo/Sears?

Rane · 07-20-2012, 07:35 AM

Trying to lock down for sure what these GI Joe figures are. I THINK they are from the Sears 3-pack set from 1982, but I'm not sure. They are straight arm and the packaging is simply the figure on its file card secured to the card with a plastic bubble.

Looking for confirmation that they are from the Sears set or the solution to where they are REALLY from. Also, any type of value on them would be great. Can't find anyone with them on eBay (except me).

Any help is appreciated.

Think you might be right, but I am not 100% sure...here is my doubt...

The cards say 82', which would make them very early, maybe early enough to not be sears exclusives...

Regardless very nice items there, NOS (new old stock) RULES!

One of the things I read was that the Sears 3-packs did come out in 1982. The mail-aways that came later were 1983 and did not have the straight arms like these have.
