Just noticed some pics I didn't upload. Here's one of them, some you don't see too often. That's a penny beside them.

I also have a couple of GI Joe size (the large ones from the '60's) Lightweights. Probably 18-20" long. I can't find the photos at the moment though.

When I was a kid I was big into G.I.Joe, I had the F-16 Tomcat, the Abram's tank, fully motorized with rubber caterpillar treads and all, the Cobra helicopter, the amphibious truck...and so much more.
All went to the landfill when I moved out....cant imagine what that stuff is worth now, especially since it was mint, I never played with it, just looked at it and daydreamed.
And the F-16 had a pilot with a parachute that you threw him in the air and it would open and he would float back to earth like a rock because the shoot never opened right.

I've still got a few of my old GI Joes. The big steel reinforced fire base, an armored personnel carrier, a four wheeler, and a few guys. Bought all of it off one of my classmates back in 4th grade for $11 in quarters. I have no idea what it's all worth now, but probably more than I paid. I should go pull it out of the box and surprise my fiance by setting it all up on the dining room table...

Or sell it on ebay and buy her your honeymoon. If it's in good shape it's worth a lot.
