For me, probably a toss-up between the Raven and the Conquest X-30.
I always asked for that damn aircraft carrier for Christmas but never got it |

That's what I had, and I loved that thing.

In the early to mid 70's, I had some kind of dark GREEN plastic amphibious assault vehicle, with at least 2 rows of seats, maybe 3, that fit the FULL SIZE life like Joes.
Because my parents were cheap, it's possible it wasn't an actual official Joe vehicle, and may have been made by some other knock-off company. I don't remember. What I do remember is taking it into the creek (it was amphibious) and blowing it up with (real, actual, back-in-the-day) M-80's. If ANYONE knows what vehicle I may have had, please let me know. Knowing is half the battle. |

My first ever vehicle. Released in 1984

My two favorites were the Sky Striker and Dragonfly. A close second was the little SHARC flying sub.

I had the USS FLAG and it was as awesome as any toy ever conceived. I took off the bullhorn to attach to my Huffy, for neighborhood shenanigans.

The Dragonfly helicopter that looked like a Cobra was probably my favorite and I really liked the Hydrofoil Cobra boat, that thing was awesome. I always wanted the Hovercraft, but never got it. I had quite the collection when I was a kid. The motorized tank was pretty cool as well.

That was the worst GI Joe toy ever. Every time, and I mean every time he achieved orbit in my bedroom he got shot down by the USS Enterprise and crash landed onto the Planet Of The Apes. Do you know what those damn dirty apes did to that poor man, they beat him and tortured him and made my sisters Barbie Dolls watch. So I had to send in Steve Austin; 6 million dollar man my ass, that mother fucker was always breaking down and don't even get me started on the maintenance cost. Finally, my crack team of GI Joes had to go in and save the day; shit even the sailor guy in Dungarees got in on some ass whooping. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

holy shit,does that bring back memories.I wanted the GI Joe jeep so much when I was a kid growing up in El Paso.At Christmas time my parents searched every place looking for one and couldn't find one.I guess they called all over Texas looking for one and still nothing.That was back in the early 60s and I still remember that.

Destros razorback and the tiger rat were engaged in many a duel to the death behind my parents house when I was growing up.
