Who remembers this line? I freakin' loved these things but never actually had many. My brother's friend had like all of them and I'd be so jealous when he brought them over. I did have Ram Fist, Sky Striker (which was my favorite), Crossbolt, Tar Tracks, Skorpian, Thunderwolf, Thor Hammer and some of the small vehicle sets. Only later did it occur to me that military vehicles on such a scale were absurd, but damn if it wasn't cool when I was little.
yup i have a ton of those in my parents' basement somewhere. they were all on clearance at target or something. i know i had a massive jet or two and the large ground vehicles and a bunch of small tanks and planes and rocket.....shooting vehicle things...

Ah, more toys serving the young republicans. The part of me that's republican got that way thanks to GI Joe, 24, and military themed toys.

I'd so sign up for the army if I meant I got to operate vehicles like Thor Hammer or G.I. Joe's Rolling Thunder. War would be so much more awesome if we drove state-sized vehicles with enough firepower to level a mountain range around.

It's toys like that which make me regret being bourne into a family of poor social-standings. Back when I was a kid I used to have to fashion toys I wanted out of toys I had. Stuff like a random rotund robot became the equivalent of Mega Man when I sculpted half-ass abs onto his chest and painted him blue with my generic paint kit. Those were good times,
