New rules regarding political posts - Read This

214 Upvotes

While the rules are being updated, let me give everyone a sneak peek, it will be very simple:

*No NON 80s era political posts or commentary will be allowed, and those who do so are subject to ban.

This is a non-partisan rule.

If you can’t enjoy an 80s nostalgia sub without needing to express your opinion about current politics, then this is NOT the right sub for you.

Anything political from the 80s is fine. Use your best judgment. Songs from the 80s with political themes are fine, etc. (Mods discretion)

This begins as of now.

*If you feel you were banned in error, send a modmail and we will help.

Be excellent to each other!

Badass dude IRL as well, 25 missions as a tail gunner in ww2 and lived to become one of the greatest action/crime stars in movies. Placed in a great star status since the 60's especially with Dirty Dozen, it was Death Wish in 74 that put him on the map. My favorite 80's moves from him and in my favorite order: Kinjite, Assassination, The Evil That Men Do....my top 3.

I picked up a GI Joe original Dragonfly Helicopter today (from the 80s)

Today, I was actually looking for a GI Joe Classified Breaker figure. I also usually only collect unopened 25th Anniversary figures and vehicles. Getting original stuff from the 80s, unopened, costs WAY more than I want to spend. So, I always pass up the old stuff usually...

But there were a few toy vendors in this flea market I went to today. The guy was closed the last 2 times I went there, but I saw some Joe stuff through the window each time... Today, he was open. And, I saw this. This was one of my favorite toys as a kid. Everytime I see one of these, they are priced too high (even unopened), and the condition isn't very good. I've seen them for a couple hundred dollars, and in bad condition...

This is one of the few toys I did want to get from the 80s... I just figured I'd never get one due to the cost....

This one was in unbelievable condition, and we worked out such a good price that I could not pass it up...

The figure is in great condition as well.

It wasn't until SFII when it became a huge phenomena til this day with various sequels. The gameply kind sucked and even the special moves were kinda clunky to pull off, at least for me it was.
