I did sort of have an "early Christmas" myself. A buddy came over with a load of his old G.I. Joes from the late '80s and gave them to me as a gift! He knew I loved this stuff and knew that he would never do anything with it. What a pal!
Just to name a few of the characters in the haul: Stalker (U.S. version) in Artic outfit, Ninja Night Creeper, Dusty in his tan beret outfit, Sci-Fi in his "Star Brigade" outfit, some Street Fighter II characters including M. Bison (who I think is really the Black Major in disguise!) and a plethora of others.
So, now I feel better... even though I am still envying all you other guys across the pond!
