1984 Battle Station Assortment from SEARS
« on: August 07, 2010, 05:38:56 PM »
I just got back from the 'Con and started reading Tattoo Shane's awesome article on Canadian Joes in the Declassified mag, when I noticed he lists this set as "Unidentified retailer".  I've been trying to get this set for over a decade and the closeset I've come is the Sears Fall Sale catalogue.  It shows the Battle Station Assortment (item #6124.31/38287) with the Bridgeleayer and the second Cobra Combat Set.  I hope this helps!

Oh hell ya!

I was really hoping that article would help shed some light on this piece!

Thanks so much for posting this info! I'm really, really glad that the mystery is solved and that there's still so much new info out there for us to uncover. Any chance that catalogue is up for grabs? ;)

Wow.  A Whale for $30 and a Skystriker for $25.  Too bad those prices aren't current!   ;D

Always cool to see some oldschool catalogues ads..  :)
And that cover photo.. it's so...... well, bizarre:
''-Hey nice pair of jeans you got there Johnny! -Yeah bro, and they are so tight too...''  :-* :P

Wow, great to see good ol' Sears Joe displays!

BTW, the guy on the leftside of the cover strangely reminds me of Kyle Reese in Terminator, or Corporal Hicks from Aliens, hahaha  :shifty:.
