we all collect joes but in your collection how many of your joes are actually your childhood ones.

I'm 25 and I moved a few time some throughout the years many of my joes broke or got lost. Of all the joes I got over the time only about a dozen are joes from my chilhood (plus they are in real good shape). Sure today I bought the characters I had as a kid, but somehow its not quite the same thats why the original team (those I used to play with) are on a special shelf.

how about you?

Well, most of the Joes I had when I was a kid are now worn out. I have around half a dozen still with me that are in good shape.  Most of my old stuff have been sent in Mike's $2 bin  :wink:

[Pete The Greek]

I probbaly have only a quarter of the figures from my kid days.  Most of them were beat up and broken.  I just replaced them and got rid of the busted ones.

[SoundEffect]

I think probably close to 20 or so figures are ones I had back about 20 years ago. Not many original vehicles though...only one or two.

[AlleyViper]

Stuff my later years mostly survived.  But the stuff from the beginning, has not.  Figures were traded, figures were taken apart and rebuilt at early attempts at LBC customizing, vehicles were sold at a local second hand toy store.  I still regret selling several of my vehicles when I was saving up for the Battle Wagon...yup, I said Battle Wagon.  I was a dumb kid eh?  The BW was the last vehicle I ever bought too. :|

None

Everything I had as a kid went to the dumpster. All my joes, he-man, original star wars, transformers, and a whole bunch of other figs. I had tons of each. It hurts a little every time I think about it.

[Redmao]

yeah it hurts...

[Techno Viper T-17]

Some are in pieces (never got around to replacing o-rings) and quite are few are in rough shape, but ALL my figures are my originals.

[Scramble]

I'm thinking around 10. Maybe a few more with knees too loose to stand on. By the midninties, anytime an elastic broke or a thumb came off it was devastating. I didn't think I'd ever be able to replace those Joes.

[Deadshot]

More of my  Vehicles survived  my childhood  than figures.

I probably have  about  thirty  figures from when i was a kid..  and pretty much all of my vehicles  from that time.  Mind you  I have rebuilt a couple of them   so they look a little nicer.. but original parts from my  childhood  reside on the new shells .

Sadly, most of my collection is from my teenage years and beyond. Most of my older toys have broken crotches etc etc etc

My stuff between 1990 and 1994 is in really good shape tho.

Some of my old Joes survived, along with most veichles.  Thankfully my parents had a huge attic where I could keep my stuff, even after I moved out.

But I replenished my Joes when I discovered BH Toys!

Still have a ways to go, but I am getting the collection going good...
