No really, I swear I'm in the right category for this topic.

The question is:

How many of you use the '82 Cobra Battle game as a diorama piece?

It looks totally compatible with the other 3&3/4 Joe vehicles and playsets!

Almost like they tried to mask a playset as a game because the rockets actually fired (which of course, was a no-no back then) :D

Alla sudden, I wanna add this to my diorama.

I use mine as a substitute for the missile command headquarters.

the 86? one is better with all the stands!

I always wanted the 1982 game. I wanted the 1986 game back then, but now thanks to online retailers like www.smalljoes.com (http://www.smalljoes.com), I have plenty of stands.

He's talking about the original Commando Attack game.

Figures work nicely with the '82 game as a mobile base, a roof top, or artillary.

The detailed pics in Obiwan's first post are from my collection :D And it is currently for sale if anyone is interested- $20 along with other items HERE! (http://www.joecustoms.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=16296) Just don't shoot your eye out. ;)
