Go dig it up. It's easily worth $150.00. Go to ebay and search "wind up R2D2" and you'll see a few for sale right now.

The only Joe-related garage sale find I had was a stack of the early Marvel comics.  I bought it in the early 90s when the comic wasn't as popular anymore.  That one sale pretty much completed my collection, too.

I bought my USS Flagg out in the country from an older lady for $50.
I responded to an add on kijiji and had to drive about 2 hours to pick it up but it was worth it.
It was in great shape, all stickers present and only missing a few parts.
I completed it for about $300 extra.

But how excited were you on the 2-hour drive back!?
Must have been awesome.

It was 2 hours both ways...
but for that 1 hour ride home I had a huge sh#t eating grin on my face!
I actually pulled off the road to go through the boxes and see what was in there.
I found a few figures, a conquest X30, ram, vamp, a bunch of weapons, backpacks etc and a dead mouse!
good score...too bad its the only part of my collection I dont have room for.
its boxed up in my closet awaiting a spot for display.
the ongoing joke in my house is its going on my wifes side of the bed.
She also says if I ever cheat on her shes having a GI Joe bonfire.  :o :shifty:

What's the Dead Mouse?  That was a Dreadnok vehicle, right?
