Sweet, it comes with the box and it's in great shape. The starting price is actually in the range what this item usally fetches.
Yeah, I hope I can win it.
Yes, I intend to bid on it, especially since I'm getting so many problems with Brazilian sellers selling/shipping to the US. :(

I was going to go higher but without a counter on the listing it was hard to get a gauge of how many were keeping tabs on it and I've seen so many things go insanely low that I thought my max would be enough. (Insanely low like a carded Poluicao that ended at $.99 - forgot to bid on that one... and how about a MISB Dino Hunters set that closed at $15 - missed that one too as I was out getting food.) I really wanted that Swampfire too... Now the search continues, darn it.
Oh well, at least one of the Brazilian seller emailed me after a win so maybe I'll have some luck getting them to actually sell me something here and there.

I've been wondering, Pete, do you shelf display or do you make little dioramas?
Currently I keep all my extras in morgue style nut & bolt drawers or these $2.00 cd containers I get at Walmart, but if I had the space, I'd like to make this diorama setup I have in my head. A big land mass where I can move things around every so often to keep the display fluid. (And to keep the dust down.)
After organizing a bunch of my loose figs not long ago, I've put army building on hold while I look for more non-U.S. items. I'm really trying to get more out of country vehicles as there's SO many different items out there varying in mold and color. Most people know of the big ones (PP Swampfire, Hidroelice (http://http://www.thejoeindex.com/joeindex/international/brazil/vehicles/redmoccasin/), M.S.V. etc... but there's tons of stuff out there vehicle wise still to be chronicled anywhere (and if you have any and wouldn't mind snapping some pics for the Index I'll get them posted right away), those are the items that I'm trying to find. Of course, being a vehicle junky helps. :D

I just do some minor shelf display. My goal down the road is to have all my figures displayed nicely displayed, something like this
http://www.theartofjoeonline.com/ (http://www.theartofjoeonline.com/)
Presentation is key for me and not just jamming abount of figures into one small area.
As for army building, I thought I slowed down to a point where I didn't want any more. Originally, I was content in having just one army builder complete for the lesser popular builders I didn’t go nuts for like Frag Viper, Heat Viper, Techno Viper, Toxo Viper, Astro Viper etc. But I did have a bunch of incomplete army builders like the one mentioned above in which I managed to accumulate over the years.
The gasoline added to the fire was BHT shelves. One thing after another, I wanted to fill them with army builders (the shelves are no good for displaying my international stuff as it would get lost in the background). I wasn’t going to fill the shelves with incomplete figures. A Heat Viper or Frag Viper with no accessories looks like crap. So the past few months I have been trying to complete my incomplete army builders. So far so good. I just need to get some more Undertow accessories and play the waiting game to find some of the hard accessories like Bat attachments, Eel mouth pieces, Snow Serpent stands, Frag Viper hose etc.
I could do this as the international foreign figure market had really slowed to a crawl… for me at least. In my case, it’s feast or famine. The past few months, I found nothing that I wanted. Then all of a sudden MOC Funskool Snowjob, MOC Mexican Doc, MOC Mexican Torch and Argentina Topson (in real good shape) surface and I couldn’t pass them. Funny how people think Topson is really rare, I got news for ya, the other three MOC figures I mentioned above are a lot harder to get. I have been waiting for years to find Doc and Torch. Now if can find Bazooka and Shipwreck from the Mexican Commandos Heroicos line, I will have them complete (minus those stupid Star Bridgade aliens). Your are right about the foreign vehicles. Argentina, Mexican, Brazil, European vehicles mostly have minor differences from the domestic ones. I Just don't have the room to store them and will really only consider vehicles with major differences.

Never really had the urge to buy one. I have passed several opportunities to get one. Maybe the next one that comes around I will make an effort to get one. If the PP Swampfire was ultra rare like White Mortal, then yes, I would have bought one by now. I don't pass up those opportunities as you may never get another crack at it.
The problem I had with the PP swampfire auction with box was the seller feedback. A feedback of 14 (and none was given for selling) didn't exactly give me a good sence of comfort.

Ah, cool. I was talking to someone a few months back about the '91 Snow Serpent and was telling him how the figure is really cool with all of his gear but looks like crap without any. :) I really wish I had a room that I could devote just to diorama displays of all shapes and sizes, but I don't have one in the size that I'd like.
I'm not real big on having things out for display on shelves, but having a variety of dioramas that I can change up every so often really appeals to me. But, unless I had a warehouse they'd need to be small enough to be easily transported and/or taken down.

My interest in the foreign items is just getting going (as you know) and has really sparked a renewed interest in Joe, especially with so many new vehicles coming out of Argentina that I had no idea existed. Between Argentina and Brazil there's a ton of stuff to look for and at. I just wish it was easier to get.

Tell me about it! I'm a big fan of the Fang II and recently found it came out in Argentina as well as the UK So I've got that one (MISB) on the way hopefully soon to feed my insane FANG II obsession (US/UK/Argentina - anyone know of any more?). The Rolling Thunder from the UK is another highly sought after piece for my vehicle collection - hence my previous post.
I really wish that the vehicles didn't take such a backseat to the figures, but I do understand it given how much space they take up and all, but for collectors like me it does leave big gaping holes as far as information goes.
By the way, that questions about taking pics goes for everyone. If you want to help, just drop me a line. :)

The Canadian one is no different than the American one except for the box.
And I will be resuming on getting foreign vehicles later in the year. I just wanted to get most of the foreign figures I need out of the way as their is more competition for them. So I am glad the vehicles take a back seat as it keeps the prices reasonable and with less noobie competition. Plus I need to get 103 more American vehicles. I have been really picky when it comes to vehicles as I won't buy one unless it's complete.

When Hasbro went with the new molds in 2002, it was the international items that kept my interest still peaked. To me, these items were 100x better than any of the new sculpt and repaints that Hasbro kept spitting out. The new stuff didn't have that old school vintage feeling, unlike foreign items which still maintain a part of this nostalgia feeling. People who don't like foreign items usally use the two lamest excuses in the book (because Hama wasn't involved and that GI JOE is a just Real American Hero aka American). Dig deeper and you realize these excuses are used to cover the fact they are just ignorant and cheap.

Much agreed. All of the International items are great. It's fascinating when something new pops up (or even something that's not widely known/publicized) as it astounds me just how far and wide G.I. Joe stretched in it's heyday. The sheer volume of stuff out there beyond the overdone, and really not quite as interesting anymore, domestic items is a marvel. Even when the items are visually the same, the differing artwork (most of the time) is enough to pique my curiosity with foreign items.
I think a lot of people think the stuff is just too impossible to get and/or costs too much to get it... yet they'll turn around and drop hundreds at retail because a store is right around the corner. You can find the international items, but it takes time and effort to get the stuff.
Too many people don't want to put the time in to get things. It's too hard for them to talk to people and make some contacts. It's easier to just swipe a credit card and take the bag and go. Too much instant gratification these days. I'm an avid Gundam collector of the 4.5" figures and there's no means of getting them at retail in the states anymore. But that doesn't keep me from getting them, I just spend a few extra seconds seeing where I can import them (if not from ebay) and it's just that simple. Lack of time to search is a poor excuse these days, a few key strokes and mouse clicks and maybe ten minutes can turn up a wealth of options for finding things on the internet. Doing what you need to do to get things from that point is where a lot of people flake.

Pete, do you know if the Wolf was available in the US as a mail-away post 1990? I wonder if it's much like the HISS Tank in that the mail-away versions in the US are found with an Estrela stamp due to the molds being shifted back to the US from Brazil.
I am working a deal to get the mail-in version. Once I get it, I can at least do a comparison of the three stampings (Estrela, Hasbro mail in and the domestic one, even though it's the one I had a kid and hence a Canadian version).
Thanks to Jon, I have the bug to get vehicles again. Well, at least the ones I like.

The Mail-in wolf (http://http://www.thejoeindex.com/joeindex/usvehicles/91/wolf/) came out around 1991 and ran through about 1993... I'll check the stamp(s) in a bit to see for sure, but I believe, off the top of my head, it's just a Hasbro stamp. The Wolves are all buried at the bottom of the tub, so I have to drag them out.
Edit: Ok, I thought I'd checked that out when I posted the Mail-In Wolf page. It's the same as the 1987 Wolf, stamps and all except for the gray parts.

Was the Mail in Vamp II with the different body more readily available in Canada? I'm thinking it was due to how many seem to come from the "great white north". I can't recall seeing a lot for sale outside of Canada. I had to get mine from a seller in CA and I was told that they were common or at least plentiful up there. I know it also came out of Brazil but I don't know how common it is from there.

From what I noted, the mail-in VAMP II was more common to find than the M.S.V. or Consumers Distribting Black Mobat (still have to find one of those but it's been on my "meh" list for a long time). Mike must have seen a few of the mail ways in his days (Pretty sure that is where I got mine).
Funny, I found the opposite.
Out of the 3, I found the black MOBAT to be easiest to aquire, followed be the MSV (I've seen 3) followed by the mail in vamp mk II (I've seen 1, and own it)

1 MSV complete
3 incomplete MSV
8 Crimson Tanks
2 Cobra Cardboard HQs

1 Joe Glider (Deadshot bought it)
Next? ;-)
I kept track of things like that for some reason.
For example, I've had a total of 182 1983 Gung Ho figures.
Over 200 Destros
I've lost count of the Bats - I know at one point it was over 700 of them.

On a somewhat related note of International Boxes, I got in a Euro SAS MMS with a box and I was looking at the other box I have for the SAS MMS and noticed that the previous one I have has different languages on it. The one I received today has, I think, Italian on it and only Italian. (Figuras Y Vehiculos, Coleccionalos - That Italian?) The other one has a couple of languages on it. (Anyone know these? - SAS Mobile Raketen-Basis; SAS Mobiel Raket-systeem). Anyone know what countries/regions these came out of so I can properly note which countries had the SAS MMS besides just labeling it "UK".
The One you have with a couple languages is in German and Dutch. so that one was probbably distributed through the Netherlands or Belgium
The Single Language one you have is Spanish.

Yeah, I was watching that one right up until someone posted about it on the YoJoe boards. After that the price jumped like $200 in a day.

Quote from: "JoeIndex"On a somewhat related note of International Boxes, I got in a Euro SAS MMS with a box and I was looking at the other box I have for the SAS MMS and noticed that the previous one I have has different languages on it. The one I received today has, I think, Italian on it and only Italian. (Figuras Y Vehiculos, Coleccionalos - That Italian?) The other one has a couple of languages on it. (Anyone know these? - SAS Mobile Raketen-Basis; SAS Mobiel Raket-systeem). Anyone know what countries/regions these came out of so I can properly note which countries had the SAS MMS besides just labeling it "UK".
The One you have with a couple languages is in German and Dutch. so that one was probbably distributed through the Netherlands or Belgium
The Single Language one you have is Spanish.
Awesome. That's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks so much, Deadshot.

I had a hunch your were.
But I really hate when people out auctions on yojoe. Posting on a link here with little traffic doesn't bug me. But on there...man, all the lazy johnny come lately's jump on these auctions like this. Do your own beeping homework. Even that buyer who won the auction has become a thorn in my ass for getting the remaning foreign figures I need, mostly in terms of bumping up the prices I don't want to pay extra for.
