When this came out, my father looked right at me and said, "Don't even ask,kid." Lol
Lol too funny! Ya I didn’t even try to ask!
And then my mom bought it for me, trying to hide that didn't last long hahaha
@@thetvbaby83 lol I bet. What a huge box!!!
@@woodman29 one day I'm gonna do the upgrades and put wheels on it. Gotta wait for room tho, I got kids now 😆
@@thetvbaby83 gotcha! When the time comes you won’t be disappointed 😁😁
One of the rich kids at school got the USS FLAGG for Christmas. That thing was so massive (we were boys) but I remember less than a year later his aircraft carrier was all in broken pieces , scattered around his room. I also remember seeing the USS FLAGG in the Sears Christmas Catalog and wanted it SO badly!
Ya I knew a kid like that too. He had EVERYTHING ( spoiled rotten)
I had to wait until I was an adult to acquire my Flagg! Thanks for the comment and view!
That's an amazing display. Great attention to detail on the customized areas! Awesome center piece for you.
@@citadelli thank you CITADELLI ! It definitely is 👊😁
Great review! I love to see all the customized Flaggs!
Thank you WALTER!!👊😁
Awesome brother, the custom lower base is killer, beautiful display.👍😎🇺🇸🤘☹️🔥🔥🔥
Thank you KERRY! 😁👊
@@woodman29
I just realized there's a frowning emoji in my previous comment.
Please disregard, didn't know that little A-hole had snuck in there.😁👍🇺🇸🤘
@@kerrypierre9494 lol no problem!😁
Sick collection. Very impressive.
Thank you BOARDER 👊😁
So much love here.
Thanks RIZZO. Labor of love for sure!
Yeeeeah, you added windows, too!!!
Awesome job on your Flagg customization and accents. I love it!!
Thanks buddy I absolutely appreciate that coming from you!!
Loved the tour! 😎😎😎
I love your Flagg as well. I saw your tour on the Chasing 80s channel! Great collection!! Thanks for the comment!!😁😁
I remember being in playworld an begging my mother to buy this for my birthday ! The box was the biggest thing I've v ever seen ! 🤯🤯
I remember the price tag back then it was $ 99.99
But I never got the aircraft carrier ! 😥 !!
But I did have almost every other
gi Joe vehicle an figures !
I still have some of the stuff in the basement in boxes.
I think my aunt has the terror dome in her garage ! ( it was put there when we moved . An there is where it stayed til this day ! ) lolol.
I remember taking my moms couch apart an using the cushions as the base for the terror dome island ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🫡🫡🫡🫡
Anyway the video was fantastic an brought back some awesome memories from when i was kid.!!!! .. ( 47 now )
I really enjoy hearing the memories that folks have! That’s awesome that you still have some of you childhood collections, (most don’t ). I love the couch idea, damn never thought of that lol!! Thank you for the kind words as well! 😁😁👊
I was pretty late to the 1/18 scale party. I played a lot when I was a kid and only started collecting last year. I appreciate you sharing your well-maintained vintage collection because it is rare to find video showcases like this presented in a very entertaining way!
Thanks for the kind words Milehigh! 😁
Posted one year and still awesome to watch, great work.
Thank you ROBERT!😁😁
Amazing!!!!
Thank you so much👊😁
I recently got my USS Flagg up for display on my custom riser. I forgot to put the support for the superstructure there are no doors down there and I used 2x4s so it’s not that high up. I am going to make my modifications this weekend now to include the strips to keep it from sliding. I had to wait til I was 40 to get mine but I do still have my Defiant General and 92 headquarters along with most of my smaller vehicles. Thank god for my parents having a basement and my dad having the organization skills that I could sort all that stuff out! He was in the Air Force and worked on the SR-71 Blackbird so he’s got his stuff really together lol. I now have a Terror Drome and it really is still just as fulfilling now as it was as a kid having this stuff for me. Now I’m just working on getting shelves and tables arranged in my basement so it’s not a cluttered mess of Joe and Star Wars stuff everywhere! Thanks for the great video! I really enjoyed it.
Wow thanks BEER CAN! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It’s really great that you were/are able to have such a variety of your childhood collection! I too was blessed with great parents and was able to keep a lot of my stuff! I’d love to see your collection once all set up! Feel free to post on my Facebook page when the time comes! 😁😁
@@woodman29 I quit Facebook in 2012 and haven’t missed it yet but I can use my wife’s account to post so when I feel it’s ready I’ll be sure to get it tagged with this name and post it to you. Honestly I’ll probably have to have my wife do that too since apparently Facebook has changed drastically since I was last on it lol
@@Beer-can_full_of_toes lol great I look forward to it!
Fantastic review and upgrade
Thank you Phil! She’s a beauty!😁
That was awesome
Thank you POLO RALPH!😁😁
That’s super awesome 👏 💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you kindly CORNELIUS😁😁
Top gun didn't hurt the sales. I loved this thing! My friends would come over every day for YEARS to play with the joes
I unfortunately didn’t have any friends that had this when I was younger man I wish I did lol
This is terrific! Thanks for such a cool video!
Thank you BRAD. it was fun to make! 👊😁
Great video, man! Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks CHRIS I’m glad u enjoyed it
I'm 45 now and I still wish I could have had something like that as a kid in the 80s.
Having been born and raised in Germany, I could only dream of toys like that. For one, obviously "militaristic" toys were forbidden, but also was stuff just way more expensive in Germany than it was in the USA, for whatever reason.
For example, I was shocked to learn as an adult that the "Castle Greyskull" playset from the "Masters of the Universe" toy line apparently cost 25 US Dollars in the States, while it cost something like 150 Deutschmarks (which back then were about 75 to 80 Dollars) in Germany, so 3 times as much.
A play set of the size and seeming quality of this aircraft carrier here would probably have cost near 1000 Deutschlmarks / 500 Dollars in Germany back then, if it would have been sold there.
I was always so flabbergasted and envious when I saw American kid's rooms in movies like "E.T.", "Poltergeist" or "The Goonies" filled to the ceiling with hundreds of action figures, toy planes and other such stuff, while I, despite being from a middle class family, could only afford a few of those things.
I had a Castle Greyskull set, maybe 2 dozen action figures and 3 or 4 vehicles and that was a lot by German standards of the time. My parents really splurged when they got me Greyskull, a "Wind Rider" and my first 4 Masters of the Universe action figures for Christmas in ..... I think it must have been 1983 or so.
I always find it interesting how different cultures had different rules. I was raised to appreciate everything we got as we were not “well off’ or rich. I’m glad you shared your story and liked the video !
@@woodman29 Yeah, I suppose I come across as unappreciative, but I'm just talking about wishes and desires I had as a kid.
When I say my family was middle class, that is probably bad communication on my part, because it will conjure images of modest wealth to an American reading it, which would not be correct in regards to what a German would call middle class.
By American standards we probably were dirt poor.
My parents had decent jobs (he was a tool maker and she was a accountant) but living standards have always been considerably lower in Germany than they were in the USA.
The average German worker makes about 2/3 (66%) of what a American doing the same job makes, pays way more taxes and pays a lot more for necessities like gasoline and housing.
I never got into this Comic Book Super Hero trend that swept international pop culture for the last 15 years or so, because I never was a comic book kid in my childhood. I just couldn't afford them.
The average comic book back then cost about 5 to 8 Deutschmarks. My weekly allowance was 2 Deutschmakrs (1 US Dollar). Even as a kid I realized that the 5 to 10 minutes of reading enjoyment I would get out of a comic book was not worth blowing all my allowance for 2 to 4 weeks for, hehe.
Most of my childhood was climbing around in castle ruins, fencing other kids with tree branches and sticks, or running around the woods throwing pine cones at each other.
Sorry for boring you with this. I just wanted to point out that I'm not coming at this from a greedy rich kid perspective, at least I don't think so.
@@TrangleC no problem I understood what you were saying!! Thank you again 😃👊
I was one of the locky kid to have one of these when it came out. My father was a lifer in the army and him snd some of the other NCO's got together and bought me one because i was having a surgery that was going to leave me homebound for a few months. I was the talk of the military base when it came to the other boys for a while after that!
Wow that’s awesome!! Thank you for sharing! I would of loved to have this when I was a kid lol 👊😁
@@woodman29 I think my pops was trying to train me to follow in his footsteps on the military. For my 18th birthday he took me to the army recruiter! However my pops was one of those crusty old drill instructors that spent a few days too long in Vietnam! The more the recruiter talk the more I heard my dad when he was training GI's and I couldn't do it. I spent a couple of decades working in mental health before going into a underground coal mine. My pops was heartbroken for years because his boy didn't turn out to be a tanker too!
I was never able to have one of these.. this is so badass.. I juat recently started going through old Joe's that I had in storage, of course I started looking on RUclips.. this is awsome. These are like 2k on ebay. This is set up great. The mods look good..
Thanks KACE! I too never had this as a kid but absolutely love it now! Thank you for the kind words!😁
I just found this video.....a year late, but great work. I'm super jealous that I never had one as a kid
Thank you GRISMANE!.. it took me forever to get my hands on it, but definitely worth it 👊😁
Awesome video!
Thank you CALVIN😁😁
Awesome Job on the Flagg !!! You should do a collection video.
Thank you JASON! I’m still working on my room lol. Once it’s done I may do a video 😁
That commercial was legendary
Thanks GHOSTFACE
What an awesome, well thought-out, creative display! Love it! The arcade is ingenious and the gym mat with weights is a nice touch. The Flagg is not only an amazing playset, but it makes for one heck of a display. Yours takes it to a new level (pun intended!)!
Thank you HUMBLE for the generous comments! It was definitely fun to build!😁😁
@@woodman29 I'm sure it was and it shows my good Sir!
so dope
Thank you NVARA👊😁
amazing
Thank you Milka😁😁😁
Phenomenal build and phenomenal video. Great job. Must be so satisfying to have.
Thank you so much for the kind words J! It’s an awesome addition to the collection 😁😁
This was awesome; what a great Flagg you made. Love the detail of their gym, arcade games, the Whale hangar, so much cool stuff, thanks for sharing!
A labor of love😁. Thank you Bob !!
impressive! good show bro.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it😁
The one RICH KID in my class had this. He had every toy.
Ya I knew a kid like that too he lived up the street and unfortunately he didn’t appreciate the treasures he had!
Thanks for a great overview of the USS Flagg. I always wanted to see it up-close; I knew it was a huge toy. And I loved your custom changes--that weight room and video game room are fire! I can imagine being 10 years old again with all my friends and playing the heck with this toy. Thanks again.
Thank YOU! Christopher 😁 I’m really glad you enjoyed it. It definitely is a beast. But absolutely worth it😁😁
wow i had alot of your collection playing as a kid, i hade the cobra terra dome
Nice!😁
This is seriously one of the most amazing G.I. Joe collectables I've ever seen. Wow! Thank you for sharing. Again, wow!
Thank you SDF!! Comments like this is why I like making my videos 😀😀 Thank YOU!
@@woodman29 Awesome. You are very welcome and well deserved. Is Hasbro is ever serious about doing a U.S.S. Flagg Haslab, they really need to look at what you have done.
My brother and I shared a room with a bunk bed as kids, so we could have a room just for the Flagg!
Lol that must of been awesome! I didn’t dare ask for one, I would of had to sleep on it 😂😂
Between us we had probably 90% of the ARAH figures and vehicles. Unfortunately hurricane Katrina decided to wipe out everything in storage from our childhood, but we still have the memories! Been trying to slowly rebuild the collection over the last year or so, but prices are stupid high these days!
@@DareDevilDave75 wow I’m sorry to hear that !
You are correct the prices are way too high for most of the JOES items. I’ve been blessed with most of my childhood items and slowly filling in the blanks! Gonna do a collection vid soon if interested!
I have always regarded the U.S.S. Flagg as a work of art, and the stuff childhood dreams are made of.
The arcade games in the quarters are a nice touch! Pure 1980s goodness there.
Marauder is an awesome place. I tend to describe it as a "build a bear for G.I. Joes". I'm slowly making a wish list there, as I have many custom figures ideas I'd like to pursue.
Build a bear. What a great analogy!! I’d love to see your custom build figures!! Yup definitely need arcade games, boy did I spend a lot of quarters back in the day! 😂😂
@@woodman29 where did you find those arcade games? They're the bomb. Just an amazing job on your flagg, but then your video brings it all to life. Very magical 👍
@@user-bd5md5cm2j wow thank you 24. I bought them on Amazon just type in mini arcade games you should be able to find them!! 😁😁
@@user-bd5md5cm2j wow thank you 24. I bought them on Amazon just type in mini arcade games you should be able to find them!! 😁😁
@@woodman29 hey thankyou. You built a work of art
Amazing. Well done and great presentation. Thank you. Yo Joe!
Thank you TOMCAT😁😁
Reminds me of my childhood
Happy you enjoyed it Patrick :-)
Absolutely amazing! You took something that was already incredible and upgraded with modifications to make it even more awesome.
Thank you CO2!! I appreciate your compliment!!! It was a labor of love 😁👊
Awesome review, and a fantastic display!! If I had the room I'd be in the market for one. She a beauty! Love the custom addition, nice work! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks buddy! Glad you liked it😁 ya she takes up some space but worth it😆
Great review, very thorough. Love the set up and the expansion you’ve added underneath. I’ve never seen a Flagg in person and I’ll likely never own one, but I’m more then happy to live the experience vicariously through others. Thanks for sharing
Thank you MATT! It certainly is a site to behold!
This is awesome. Love the custom base!
Thank you SUPERHERO! 👊😁
My dad was USAF when I was a kid. When our family lived at Scott AFB in Illinois (1988-91), one of my neighbor-friends had the FLAGG. I got to see the enormous ship only once as it was set-up on his family's dining room table.
That’s awesome! It’s still enormous to look at as an adult too! 😁👊
Amazing collection
Thanks TECH489! 😁👍
My grandma got it for me for Christmas ❤ was the best Christmas ever in 95🔥
I bet! That must of been awesome!😁😁😁
@@woodman29 funny part was the box was so big only half of it was wrapped and I already knew what it was 🤣😂 best Christmas I will always remember that and playing GIJOE wow if I could go back in time being 10 again
@@sgtusmc2131 lol ya how do u hide that huge box?! I’m with ya , being younger and not a care in the world enjoying my joes!😁😁. What an amazing memory to have!
Would Not be surprised today All the parts you mention are lost today or can be lost. Can be replicated now.With Mold casting & 3D printing. Am not surprised if people made stuff for the flagg.I saw that when I was in Vegas Think they wanted 2 grand for it
True, with all the modern equipment like 3d printers and such. Folks can make a lot of these parts. 2 grand? Yikes! 😁😂
The sounds are all clear, air raid, and general quarters. there are no backup alarms on aircraft carriers. I had a Flagg as a kid, no we weren't rich, parents put it on layaway before Christmas. As a side note, I also cruised on 2 aircraft carriers in real life as a Marine as well. Nothing like living your favorite child hood toy and movie(Top Gun) as an adult.
Thank you for the info. In my imagination those sounds were as I stated! Now I know!😁. Thank you for your service as well! Yo Joe
👊😁
Great review and a great display. Also really clear pics showing the steps you went through to upgrade the base. Thanks for sharing your information and collection (just subbed your great channel). Yo Joe!
Wow thank you for the compliments Action! Much appreciated, and of course the SUB! YO JOE!😀😀
This thing is amazing!
Thank you Daniel! 😁😁
Wow amazing custom job! Loving the video games
Thank you Jae! Gotta have 80s video games!! Lol😁
Haslab...we need this remade pls. Yes we will pay that large price tag now that most of us have jobs and don't need to ask mom or dad for it.
Can u imagine! That would be amazing!! 😁😁
seeing f35 (with 2 engines though but still) in this toy is amazing
It definitely is 😁👊
USS Intrepid has a really nice setup too! Too bad GI Joe didn’t make 2 types of carriers, one for jets and the other for helicopters and amphibious vehicles.
Another great reason to build the lower deck! Space for more vehicles! Lol😁😁
This colossal 7-ft. long G.I. Joe "U.S.S. Flagg" aircraft carrier playset by Hasbro was a must-have for 80's kids everywhere. Not to mention a financial drain on their parents, considering how expensive the gosh darn thing probably was.
I think it was around $100 bucks back then which was definitely a lot of money! 👊😁
The Holy Grail couldn't look any better!
Thank you kindly sir!!😁
Fantastic video! Love the cameo by Captain America! If only I had the space😔!
I was hoping someone would notice CAP! Lol. Ya it’s a huge space hog. But absolutely worth it !! Thanks buddy
Excelente vídeo
Thank you Eugenio!!😁
Very nice! I've been watching a lot of custom Flagg videos lately. I'd like to attempt one someday as well. Right now, all my stuff are in totes.
Thanks HOLONET! If you attempt to do this my only advice is take ur time! Enjoy building it. It was a lot of fun 😁😁
I wanted this so bad when I was a kid. My dad wouldn't even buy me any of the vehicles, planes, or helicopters much less this, lol. If it didn't fit in my little toy box in the closet forget it. I am envious of you sir. My little girl says this is still cool.
Thank you TIMOTHY she’s a beast! I feel your pain there was no way my parents would get me this back in the 80s lol! Your little girl is correct😁😁👍
Nice review! The Flagg is an iconic playset and you really did it justice. However, I personally think the 1987 Mobile Command Center is the zenith playset. I have it and every now and then I open it up and play with it. I also review toys on my channel btw, including GI JOEs.
Thank you CHRONO. you are correct the MCC is a great vehicle as well! I just subbed to your channel!
The Dixie Cup hats on your crew are a nice touch but I'd personally go with the blue ballcaps that Marauders sells.
Great idea!
I would love to make some modifications like that if I had one
Absolutely worth the work!!
i'm 45y/o and if i have this toys i still play with it.
I wouldn’t blame ya. It’s a great play set!😁😁
Great set!
I've always wondered how much this thing cost when it first came out.
Thank you ROBERT! I believe it cost $120. When it came out originally!
Lol 😆..I think the box 📦 would go for $120 now!
@@roberthouston3809 omg at least!! Crazy !!
Now this is priceless! Even if a rich kid ask to name your price for spot cash, you’ll definitely have hard time to decide. Classic craftsmanship😍 Will you be adding 3D printed accessories soon? Hope you’ll have part 2 video of this soon. See your on your next video🥸
Ya the offer would have to cover the cost of another FLAGG. Lol I would mind building this again… it was fun😁 thank u for the craftsmanship compliment ( hence my RUclips name 😉). I’ll definitely be posting more vids as I update this stately ship! 😁
Just come across your channel very great tour of the ISSUE FLAG and upgrades awesome video brings back memories of when my buddy got his for Christmas and how huge it was and trying to move it then one day it just disappeared and so did all my Gi joe toys nice collection
@@lawrenceweitzel6809 thanks Lawrence! I’m glad I was able to bring some nostalgia for ya!😁😁
Damn . I just donated the flagg to goodwill along with so many original figures and vehicles. I didn’t know that people still like all of this crap.
Like it?… nope love it!
Cool video I remember my Woolworth had it for 129$ canadian the box was impressive.
Years later back in the 90’s I found one in a garage sale bought it for 20$ but was missing a lot of pieces especially the 2 big plates plus small parts
Im still missing 13 pieces to complete mine but I wonder if I will be able to complete it one day.
Thanks for sharing I really like your video
Thank you FRANCOIS. It’s definitely quit the site all complete! Thanks for the compliment!👊😁
Indeed last time I took it out we put it on a pool table for a photoshoot for a friend for his Transformers we put 4 titans on it plus at least 50 smaller transformers
Im missing small parts like a door a radar at least Im missing 13 pieces which is not too bad
Deep😎👍
✌️😁✌️ thanks DOUBLE T
King Bong 🦍
😂😂
Very thoughtful job with the routing and jointing. It looks like you used a CAD or some other way to mock-up the layout of the truss supports - is there a way to share the dimensions?
Thanks JOSH to be honest all I did was trace out the footprints and locations of the truss system. Unfortunately I had to setup and take down the FLAGG twice to accomplish this! No measurements just my years of woodworking 😁😁
amazing job. try to post in 4k!!! 😉🤩
Thank you!
If your parents bought this for you, you were the happiest kid on the block!
I wish lol!!
I remain astonished that some madlad hasn't taken out his tape measure, modern power tools and maybe a 3d Printer and built himself a 1/12 Scale GI Joe Classified USS Flag. I mean just from looking at it it's really not that hard of a Modeling Project. With a CNC Lathe or Lasercutter you could probably even bang it out in kit form. And for those wondering what to do for Planes? Those 2 larger ships from the Lightyear movie paint up into excellent 1/12 Joe aircraft. Plus there's always the 2 seater GI Joe Snowspeeder.
Lol I’m sure someone will try it! Heck if I didn’t own one I’d probably build one out of wood!!
@@woodman29 If you really want to go big, build it so it can double as a gaming table in your Mancave. Give it the Hanger deck and a Vehicle and Well Deck below. Make the top deck out of a nice countertop surface.
@@andrewtaylor940 lol great idea!
Very Nice FLAGG! I did a similar upgrade to mine. Where did you get all of those Navy crewman? I need some to populate my FLAGG. Thanks for sharing. I'm a new subscriber, YO JOE!
Thank you DARTH! I made all the crewmen with marauder task force figures! I have a video on them as well! Thank you for the sub!!😁😁
The flag is number 1
It certainly is most peoples GRAIL! 😁
This is awesome. Can't wait to set mine up. Where did you happen to get the arcade games? Thanks for making the video!
Thank you Randal. Regarding the arcade games, sometimes you can find them at TARGET in the video area. But you can definitely purchase them on Amazon.!
Great display bit looks like alot of non gijoes on it
Thank you Scott. There are modern joes and some custom sailors aboard!
If was released now it be over $2,000 with the insane prices manufacturers charge
Unfortunately you are correct 😁👍
This is an amazing setup. I love the generic sailors you made for it. Where did you get their hats? Thanks in advance.
Hi BRYON thank you for the compliment! The hats are actually Lego. I made a video explaining how to get these to work if your interested! 😁
@@woodman29 Thank you for the reply. I found the video on your channel right after I subscribed.
@@task_force_figures_games great! I hope it was helpful 😁 thank you for the SUB!
love your vids! hope u can do a terror drome as i just picked up one up along with some vehicles and figures.
Congratulations on getting one! Yes sir it’s on the way! 👍
@@woodman29 excellent.. You have done well my apprentice.
@@palpatine1975 lol
@@woodman29 the only parts missing from my TD are the 02 x turret base rampart pcs. I need to get.. And they are expensive on Ebay!!
@@palpatine1975 ya they are. !!! Because of the clips that hold them in place
Impressive setup and I love the custom base! I wish I could find someone who could build me a custom base for my Flagg as unfortunately I don't have the time for such projects. What did you use for the windows? You weren't specific with regards to the tint and clear "windows."
Thank you Daravis! It was A labor of love lol regarding the widows I used very this plexiglass cut to fit and held in with double sided tape. Non glare for the top and clear for the bridge!
I'll admit I was born in the late 80s so I cant imagine kids in the 80s was acting when this came out. My dad did show me the show and my mom bought me a few gi joe figures. I thought they were so cool. Now seeing this as a ln adult I can see how kids were bugging their parents to get this lol. Parents back then were probably so annoyed with all of this
I was one of those kids! But I didn’t dare ask for this! Lol 😂
I wish GI Joe had a full sized submarine that could be submerged.
That would be incredible!😁
I'm building a lower deck for my Flagg and was looking for ideas. Thanks for the great video. The only question I have is where did you get all those Navy crewmen from? I need more troops to staff my Flagg.
Thanks JOEY! I’m glad your taking the plunge on the lower deck! I made a video on my SAILORS I custom made them 😁. Check out the vid and let me know what u think!!
Cobra rules cmq...
Lol
Heya Woodman 29. Great video! Might you have the schematics / dimensions for building the custom base? I am planning to do one over the holidays! Please and thank you.
Hi JEFFREY. I unfortunately don’t have any measurements/schematics. I had to set up the FLAGG on a large blank paper then trace out all the footprints (trusses, bow, stern and shape of ship) that way the base matched perfectly. It is a pain setting it up and taking it apart to accomplish this but absolutely worth it! Good luck and Happy Holidays!
@@woodman29 Thank you very much for your reply. So did you do it in 2 separate tracings? Like the deck first when flat on the ground then add the trusses, bow, stern, and shape?
@@jeffreyenright3857 negative I traced the deck all in one. I rigged a long pencil to a dowel. The deck doesn’t have to be perfect especially if you going to round off the edges of ur custom base!
@@woodman29 Copy. Thank you kindly.
@@jeffreyenright3857 my pleasure 😁
Did u make the joes trying to figure out which version they are as well as the multiple navy men
I only made the navy men. I have a video on those sailors if your interested!
I hope they do a re- released so we can have the opportunity to own one
That would be great! I’m sure it would cost a bit! 😁👊
the lights and customization is great cause OOB the inside of the tower is EMPTY
Thank you!
Have you considered making and selling those windows? If not have you shared how you made them / attached them to the FLAGG?
Actually I haven’t even thought about that BIG. I just traced the shape on thick paper stock and then transferred the pattern to really this plexiglass. I then used double sided table to install them! Hope this helps!😁
Cobra should have got a destroyer to go with this
Agreed! That would of been amazing 😁
I made an engine/nuclear reactor room where everyone made a motor pool
Oh man that’s awesome, I’d love to see a pic! 👊😁
@@woodman29not tech savvy but I will figure out how to do it
@@MopBucket1014 that would be great!
brother where did you find the gi joe sized arcade games i so want to buy me a set of them as well
Thank you BRAN!. Regarding the arcade games, sometimes you can find them at TARGET in the video area. But you can definitely purchase them on Amazon.! They are called “mini arcade games!”
I grew up in the 60s. Our version of GI Joe was more detailed, bigger and had cool accessories. This version were just cheap toys.
I absolutely appreciate the incredible detail on the OG joe figures!
This toy was anything but cheap, ask any parent.
@nikholman1287 agreed!👍
I think its a bit underwhelming. It's got it's big size but nothing much can be done with it or move it. I think a C-130 that could fit a lot of figures and early vehicles like the VAMP and AWE, had guns and bombs like the AC-130 spectre, etc would have had more play value
It’s a large diorama to me. I built the custom base so I could move it around! Thanks for the comment! 👊😁
I wish hasbro would remake it
You and me both! 👊😁
Where did you find the sailors ?
I custom made them with Marauders parts. I have a video up on my channel if interested!😁😁
