Anyone know where to find GI Joe stuff?

Post by momaw nadon » Wed Aug 24, 2005 9:12 pm

I was wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to find Joe accessories and some slect figures on line? I am needing some parts from some old and new figures. If anyone can point me in the right direction or help I would be grateful. Thanks for the help.

try GIJoeHQ for new and old stuff, but you may just be better off doing Evil-bay. There's this guy that sells guns that people have been raving about. tempted to get some ak-47s

I saw those the other day. Does anyone know if they are to scale?

It's hard to find small accessories on ebay, unless someone lists it right. Maybe I'll get lucky someday.

Thanks for the help.

Very much to scale...

Here's an interview with John, the owner and some pretty good pictures:http://www.joebattlelines.com/interview ... derinc.htm

Question on the Maruder INC. weapons:

Why aren't they the correct color for the weapons??
Wood handles should be brown, right???

The weapons are all black in color with no variation like 21st or BBI weapons.

Just wondering? :?

They're molded in black plastic, no paint. Pretty much like Hasbro's standard fair, which is what he's trying to emulate.

Plus, it gives you customizers something to do. :lol:

I'm thinking of ordering some of the Night Watch Rescue sets. The original RAH AK47 was always my favorite gun, and Hasbro puts some crappy guns with their stuff. The weapons with the Black CGs was total crap.

I just got some of the Marauder guns. To me, they are very nice for GI Joe weapons, but not quite as nice as BBi and 21C's better weapons. Also, they seem a little oversized - I compared the AK47 to the 21C AK47 I have. But, I bought them to equip some of my GI Joe's, and they work real well in that regard

Here's some pictures of the upcoming weapons. I hope the RPGs are offered by themselves. I need a few sets of those.
