Default anyone play with G.I. Joes growing up?

G.I. Joe turns 25 this year. To commemorate, Hasbro is releasing limited edition box sets featuring 5 Joe or 5 Cobra figures.


I ran into this on Saturday (@ Target) and had to get one. It they're so bad ass.


(not my picture)


- The set is LONG. It's about the size of a Monopoly box container.
- The box itself is made of thick cardboard. it feels like the same composite as a Monopoly gameboard.
- There's a foil metallic finish to the top cover, flip it open to reveal awesome art.
- hit the "press here" star and it plays the entire GI Joe themesong
- the Cobra pack oWnz.

$24.99. The figures are sold individually on cards for $5.99.

The brutal part is that these are stocked 1 per store. I went to 2 Targets yesterday, both had the Joe pack ... only 1. I can't seem to find the Cobra pack.

:lmao: this is true.

I didn't have many, but of the ones I did ... they held fireworks nicely.

$25 per boxset. If you were to get the Cobra box and Joe box, it'd be $50+ tax.


The individual carded figures (exact same ones in box) are $6 each.
