Got a defender today!!!!!!!!!!
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...

There's only one "G.I.Joe" I need to pull out to make that happen, right?

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