Seeing this boxed set a few years ago is what got me back into collecting G.I. Joe. I had passed on the joy of G.I. Joe to my younger brothers, and to its credit, its one of the few franchises that has stuck with them. I don't feel bad about giving them my collection because most of my collections began when my cousins passed them on to me. Plus, with all of the vehicles and playsets, they are a little much to have up and displayed. Finding the Kre-O sets allowed me to keep showing my love for G.I. Joe on a smaller scale.
The fact that it was a Slaughter's Marauders set is was truly sold me. Love the Sarge. So anyways, here are my current Joes. I've already posted a blog about my Cobra collection, which you can find here, Cobra Forces. After this, I'll make a post on my Iron Grenadiers and the rest of my Vehicles/Playsets.
USS Flagg
Not an official set. I found this Chinese knock off and modified the cabin so that it could hold figures. Also added gating to hold planes in place.
It can easily carry two Skystrikers or 3 to 4 Sky Hawks.
