General Joe Talk / Re: OLD Vehicles? Whats the best way to clean...
« on: September 25, 2011, 10:27:24 PM »
hey,  great topic.  I do this alot and believe it or not, i enjoy restoring old vehicles. 

A little trick that i use tovget the crud out of tight spots and cracks is with a tiny flat headed screw driver and a lysol/clorox wipe.  you wrap the wipe around the end of the screw driver (so it does not scratch anything) and give it a gentle scrub.  I recently picked up a pretty scuzzy looking mobile command center that is 99% complete.  took me hours of work, but it looks really good now. 

If im replacing the decals anyway I will take the vehicle apart and just give it a nice hot soapy bath, and goo gone the rest.  re-assemble and order more stickers from cobrastickers.com!  presto, it looks like the day it came out of the box!

still tons left in whitby ontario.  was there today and lost count of blue shirts, steel brigades and bats, etc.  there is 2 shock troopers left and one snake eyes from wave 4.  ...still have the big bin in the centre isle, and its almost still full.  must not be 2 many collectors around these parts who want these right now!  so far my son's army's have gained some recruits.  he now has 3 steels, 3 blue shirts, and three jungle bats.  i dont usually let him get more than one figure, but at that price can't go wrong!

Thanks much for the heads up guys I really appropriate it.  I got a set and paid $75 shipped.  I believe the person got them Zellers for the $22.99 and when you add taxes and shipping he probably broke even or made just a little bit extra.  I want to open them but with such a limited run and the price tag I am just going to leave them MOC.   

to be honest the cycle armour is not all thar great open anyway.  the figure is kinda cool.  but the bike is kinda crappy.  the HISS scout is really nice though!

if anyone is still looking for a Low Light start checking your local toysrus.  with the sale on this week it seems that they are stocking up on a mixed shipment.  low light is in the mix  .. mine only had 2 of him.  our tru had a half a centre isle bin full of joes.  you might need to dig is all im saying!

...now we have all of these figures via JHL Collectables, and have had them for months!  but at this price I had to buy a few more, good for gifts and army building.  these are the assortments below:

Wave 1 Storm Shadow
Jungle Bats
Steel Brigade
Blow Torch
Cobra trooper
Cobra Commander
General Hawk
wave 4 snake eyes
wave 4 duke
beachhead
sky dive
alley viper
jungle viper
and i did see 2 lowlights,  i pick one up and left one on the pegs.

was hoping to find a wave 1 duke but did not see it.  ...i know these were a dime a dozen and i never did pick it up for my son.

I haven't been spending alot of time on my collection lately,  any extra funds have been tied up with activities and summer fun.  I think instead of sending this guy down to the basement (thats where my collection is) I will keep him on display where i spend alot of my time!

Thanx again to HJL for having the draw and even giving me the opportunity to be in the draw.

I can't say it enough, Hal and the Mrs. are great people to deal with, they are always top notch and are very good to me and the fam!

that's a great story.  always nice to see kids playing with toys in general.  its great for them to bust out there creativity and imagination.  My son loves his joes, he spends hours setting them all up for the "ultimate battle".
