  • Whats the best place to track and purchase Gi Joes for your collection?

    Looking for opinions, websites, good dealers etc on how to build your collection. Ive recently started working on my collection from 1982-1988 and am looking for any resources available.

    Of course #1 would probably be ebay. Check out toy shows, swap meets in your area. Also, check out thrift stores, even though they are hit and miss, I have found a few 3 34"joe vehicles here. Look at garage sales, flea markets, and yard sales. Also check out Cotswold's website.

      Cotswol's web address is: https://www.gijoeelite.com/

      They are more 12 inch vintage feel than 3 3/4 stuff.

      Ebay has been my best source. I used to buy figures in lots and then resell the lots with the figures I didn't want. Of course, I have found them in the wilds via yard sales.

      I found the web stores to be more expensive over true private sales. Also note that I like my Joes loose and package free. I sure there a joke in there. Good luck and welcome to the board. You may want to register with Yo Joe or the Hiss Tank for more 3.75 action.

            Swap Meet.
            are good but now there Spot who specializing in particular Toys and prices have rising.
            Sellers at Swao now think every thing Collectable
            they believe everything is Gi Joe.
            they believe they know as much about this Items as acollector
            and are not as Bugesing on the price they use too.
            if lucky to find 3-4 stuff among other Items best Bet
            this Sellers this want sell everything if they can
            they do not specialize they do not care.
            this selling

                I misread this as "There are more 12 inch vintage feet that 3 3/4 stuff."

                I thought that was a pretty strange comment. It did make me laugh though.
