I am thankful I still have most of my figures from the 80's when I was a boy/teen. Always brings back good memories when I am down.

Very thankful for the fact that I've been able to replace all the cool stuff I had as a kid + all the things I wanted (Defiants, Flagg), makes it all worth while!

I missed a nice one in two lots on thebigtoyauction.com yesterday. The site was really slow to load at auction time and I was unable to bid. Someone managed to get what looks like a minty Defiant set for about $150.

I'm most thankful for the 1991-1994 GI Joe toys I bought at retail while I was in high school and college.

Good deal, all you would get on ebay for that is a broken shell.

Hmmm there's a lot to be thankful for, but I'm thankful for pieces I can tie a memory to.

Watchtower - I remember my dad buying this for me in Eatons in 84. I loved little setups like this.

Mauler - my buddy got this in 85 and we raced the Mauler and my MOBAT on the driveway. His Mauler of course won lol.

Avalanche - always wanted it but never saw one in the stores in 1990, so I really appreciate it now.
