I remember as a kid all the boys would get together on Saturday after lunch and prep for a war with our G.I. Joes. I mean yeah it involved a mag ifyimg glass and some firecrackers strapped to a poor Figure being held ransom for some ungodly amount of Monopoly money.. but in the end your right this was the bread and butter for hasbro for a few years. I miss my Joe’s..
