Slowly catching up ...got into collecting vintage Joes a few years ago...lov finding bags of Joe's at Vv .. found 6 or 7 bags full of figure's a while back .. at 5.99 a bag CDN I was VERY HAPPY... lov documenting my wants and putting together the figure's / accessories.. WOW what a unreal toyline from long ago ..YO JOE !

At the time i was too young to get the AWE striker or earlier vehicles, but because of my brother's cousins and friends, i remember all of this stuff! I did have the Havoc myself but I think we were all lucky to grow up with this stuff!

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes. The best of Times. A time when gi.joe was the most important thing. Wait, it still is the most important thing 😅 Yo Joe

[@SJAlbury]

Man I wanted that carrier so bad.

[@19jjace]

Another great video! God bless all the men and women of the military and first responders that have sacrificed to serve and protect. Patriotism is still alive brotha! 🫡🇺🇸

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes. Time for the silent majority to speak up and bring the USA and Canada back to glory. Enough of this wimpy, far left anti american government. Thank You , God Bless you too! Thank you so much for watching my channel.

Dave C - Straight from the Pitt is quickly becoming my favorite GI Joe channel. Keep it up brother!

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thank You! I love 80s gi.joe as much as you do. It is not just a toy, it is a way of life. Duty. Honor. Courage

[@dispassionateobserver]

​@@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit Exactly. I even checked out your instagram and I think you and I see a lot of things the same way. Much respect to you man, I hope you are doing well.

[@Chasing80sToys]

Two great vehicles and another excellent video brother. Yo Joe

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thank you Chris, your opinion l always hold so dear. You and l love these toys for all the right reasons.

[@kentomlin159]

Great video! I remember having all these vehicles when I was a kid. Started collecting Joes again in 2019. All but 1 or 2 of your top 10 would’ve made my top ten list also. Yo Joe!

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thanks! I am glad you like my channel. I really like doing 80s gi.joe content.

[@wrp4955]

Fantastic video. Great vehicles. Crankcase is such a great figure with a great weapon. As a kid I neve really liked the HAVOC but big fan of it now.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yeah, l need to get his real rifle. The havoc front glass is why me and my friends laughed at it 😅. No protection. And neon missles?? Lol. But yeah in 2024 it is kinda cool

[@bobahicks]

Two very iconic vehicles. Great review 💪🏻👍🏻🔥

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thank you Mark. I know you arent really a joe guy, so it is super nice that you watch my videos sometimes. Your transformers video with Chris was fun.

[@DareDevilDave75]

I love how they called the HAVOC a fortress! The top gunner is completely exposed, and the driver is behind a huge sheet of glass😂 still loved it as a kid though

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes, it was a wild toy

[@JFvE]

Loved the AWE Striker as a kid. It was my fast recon rig and took impossible jumps 😂... No doubt influenced by shows like The A-Team and Knight Rider. I didn't have the HAVOC. It took time for me to adjust to it's SCI-FI influence for sure, but I did think it was cool. Excellent video, Dave!

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Those shows made us do crazy things sometimes 😅. Wouldn't change it for the bubblewrapped 2024 world !

[@orionassante3386]

In the comics Cross Country was one of the Joes killed during the Gulf War. I actually still have him and that vehicle.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

It is a great ride. And a very cool figure. Yes, l love the Marvel books...that is my gi.joe cannon. Not the cartoon. That is great you still have it 😀

[@Gojitron1]

I only have two vehicles in my modest GI Joe ARAH collection, one of them is the retro AWE Striker.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes, l want to buy that retro one so that l have a brand new one. It is great that its the exact 1985 mold.

[@DareDevilDave75]

Love your content, but none of those are jeeps! 😂😂 they are Lamborghinis, and a dune buggy

[@Koz-dt6tz]

Gi Joe sounds stupid it should always be action force if they sold them in the UK as gi Joe I wouldn't even think of buying them gi crap even the figures look stupid for f sake
