I love items like this from 1982 (my favorite collecting year)! This is a pic of a bicycle frame bar pad but the really cool thing is the package art. Check it out!

I've got a set on the way that is even better than this. As soon as I get it I will post pics. I love finding new 1982 items because I remember getting some of these in the store when they first came out. I remember going into Target with my aunt and seeing the 1982 G.I. Joes for the first time--I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. They were awesome! I was on vacation to see my aunt in Chicago and she bought me several of the first figures and vehicles. When I went back home to small-town West Virginia I was the coolest kid in school because at first I was the only one who had Joes! Unfortunately, that didn't last too long.....

That package art is great. It's like having the art from a vehicle or figure that was never released. I have a 1:21 scale bike like that and feel a custom will come out of this. If you have any more pics of package art like that then post more links, and thanks for this one.

There are toys, too? Seriously, I really don't have time to chase all of the figures so I am in the Kebco "One of every figure" club. I am mainly a MOC collector so the only time I look in the stores for the toys are when I want to get some armybuilders or when I want to get something that isn't included in the one of every figure club (like the comic 3-packs). Honestly, as far as the vehicles I only buy the ones I really like.
