someday, I hope I have a son who can have my joes, but I'll be honest, not till he learns to take care of them.
Ya it was hard to give some of mine up. I had a ton of totes in the baesment loaded with ARAH stuff from over the years. when the ROC movie came out my son would see them at the store and want them. After getting a few figures for him (putting away all the accessories & guns) and bringing up a few vehicles for him to play with he really got into it. He has lots of other toys to play with but he loves his Joes the most.
He has been very good with them and it helps when we go to the local toy shows and the can joe con and the dealers there have the $2 figure bins. I let him go though and pick out ARAH figs for "his collection"
