This thread is amazing. Jeff, your collection is simply breathtaking. Seeing so many toys I either owned, or coveted in a catalog or friend's collection back then... Wow.
The last time I was at my folks house I found the old GI Joe Polar Battle Bear that I ordered from GI Joe directly, and they sent me two. One is still in the brown shipping box from Hasbro, sealed in plastic, unassembled. I also brought home my remaining Thundercats and Transformers.
When I was a kid, I was playing with all of my Transformers in my grandmother's yard, and left them out when I came inside for lunch. Unfortunately, that's when my uncle decided to mow the lawn. You can guess what happened. I think 3-4 out of 30 or so came out intact. That was basically when I stopped playing with Transformers.
