The Epic G.I.Joe auction

OK Joe fans, here's more detailed pictures and a video below of everything that's for sale on the ebay auction.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/331907275933?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649






















































Due to traveling/moving, selling my whole collectible collection!

UNBELIEVABLE collection of G.I.Joe A Real American Hero (ARAH). My goal when collecting these was to get a complete run of 1982-1986, beginning with the fan favorites from the show and comics. I got pretty darn close. Arguably the best Joe era/stories ever, and there they are. 

As a completist, I would almost always buy complete sets. 98% of the collection is "near mint, complete" condition. (all weapons, accessories, etc. included and unbroken). In a couple cases some pieces have been glued or a couple pieces are missing (noted in list below). Almost all joints are tight (very few loose knees etc) and almost all paint is mint or near mint. (very few Cobra insignias wiped away for instance.)


Scroll down for entire list of this lot's contents.

Bonuses!!

Bonus 1- my plan was to replace/retouch all the stickers, and so I bought massive amounts of sticker sets from cobrastickers.com as well as Rubenstickers (2 best known/regarded reproduction stickers sources as regarded by collectors). These alone cost me upwards of $400 in total. See below for list of all.
Bonus 2- many replacement screws/O-rings/peg stands and a few random parts.
Bonus 3- Mighty Muggs Cobra Commander. Cute!
Bonus 4- If auction exceeds $2000, I will include this ORIGINAL ART of Snake-Eyes- an ink/watercolor signed by TK Watkins (aka Travis Kotzebue, aka me). I'm a professional comics artist/illustrator and have done work for IDW (joes), DC Comics, Sony Playstation, Disney, Popcap/EA (Plants vs Zombies), etc.

Always stored in a cool dry non-smoking home.

Please look at photos carefully- what you see in the photos is the exact item you will receive!
