This Line Surely Reveals My Age...

Well, while toy hunting during the last few days of my stay in the US, I bumped into these two figures (Sgt Stalker and an Iron Grenadier) from the 30th Anniversary line of one of my favorite toys in the 80s and early 90s, G.I. Joe. It was the "Real American Hero" line back in those days. I lost all of my vintage Joes, through over playing and my youngest sister's wrecklessness. Anyway, I am just glad that the line is alive and kickin'.

I started "re-collecting" the line via the Sigma 6 8inch line, and shortly there after, the 25th Anniversary line. After the 25th Anniv line, they issued out a general non-anniversary themed lines, then the movie Rise of Cobra line came out. As a continuity line, Pursuit of Cobra came out (I got some figures from this line too, most of the earlier lines I sold, but thanks to my good ol' tropa Brian V., I got most of the earlier line figures).

I just can't believe it's 5 years already after the 25th Anniversary line. I am really growing old... LOLz!

Sgt Stalker and Iron Grenadier. I got these 2 babies from Target Newpark Mall in Newark, California. I was not planning to start the line. I actually skipped, a Hazard Viper and bunch of Skystrikers and VAMPs along the way. So the itch for the Anniversary figures grew on me...
Thanks to Greattoys shop in Festival Mall and their branch-wide sale, i was able to continue and complete wave 1 of the 30th Anniversary Joes...
I did mention about the Greattoys shop sale right? Yeah, and most of my current on-hand in Manila was from their sale except Jungle Viper and Snake Eyes/Timber. I have all of my other POCs and wave 2 30th Anniversary/Renegades line in-transit from California. I can't wait for them too...

Sorry for the crappy picture below, I was lazy again to crop the other non-POC items...

There is no other fitting end-statement for my blog but this...

YOOOOOOOOO JOE!
