A must-see G.I. Joe tribute site

My co-worker found an extremely cool site that blew me away – www.yojoe.com

 

As I turn 30 in April, this is classic, drawing on one of the most time-honored traditions in the lives of young men everywhere - collecting G.I. Joes and associated paraphernalia.  Its an incredibly detailed tribute to what's become a part of hundreds of thousands of young men's lives for generations.

 

And when I say detailed, well, see for yourself.  The site's content includes everything from the limited-release 3-3/4” action figures, to descriptions of each figures weaponry and accessories, to special gadgets and goodies you got when you sent in the proof-of-purchase symbols.

 

The person who put this site together is hardcore!  The volume of the toy collection is just amazing, and is definitely worth a browse for the enthusiast.

 

Remember Destro's backpack with the removable pistol?  Do you really know the true story behind Snake Eyes?  Did you know that the U.S.S. Flagg aircraft carrier was 7-1/2’ long?  Did you have all 5 versions of Cobra Commander?

 

This site does, and it'll bring those memories rushing back in glorious color.  Bravo, whomever did the site.

 

Man, I would have given anything back in the 80's to work at Hasbro...I'd be there until retirement.
