Tough call for me as I have a lot of vehicles that I have pride in owning - my Action Force RAM, APC, Panther Jeep, Laser Exterminator, Escape Armour, etc. those are a lot of fun, as are my Sears exclusive CAT and SMS.

Y'know...this'll sound stupid but Toxolab. Seriously, that is without a doubt, hands down, my most favorite item in all of G.I.Joe playsets and vehicles. As a kid I had a big fiberglass in ground swimming pool and I put that Toxolab on a piece of industrial foam stock and built this little floating chemical weapons lab with left-overs from my then beat up Terror Drome and other vehicle bits and pieces and accessories. It was by no means impressive by my adult standards but as a kid, I loved that thing. Said Toxolab met an untimely demise as a missile testing facility one 4th of July in 1994...but as a collector, one of the first items I bought and still cherish to this day is my mint condition, complete Toxolab. It sits in my glass display case, all decked out with Sludge and Toxo vipers and some v2 BATs

Kingofpain,

Am I reading that box correctly? It looks to me like it is made by "Gay Toys Inc"

My Hydrofoil.

Long, sappy story. One Christmas, I found a receipt for Alpha Beta (a grocery store in Vegas) with a line that said "Toys $14.88". This happened to be next to that weeks Alpha Beta ad, which showed a Hydrofoil for $14.88. I was stoked - that was the longest wait until Christmas.

Well, Christmas morning, I get to the box I was sure it was, open it, and see.......a stinking football teddy bear. Talk about the ultimate downer. When I tell my parents what was wrong, they just laughed at it. And they never got me the ship.

Years later, when I get out of college, my wife finds some guy on a bulletin board (this is WAY back in 1995) with a complete hydrofoil in perfect condition for something like $20 shipped. So, I finally got my Hydrofoil.

Now that's awesome, unexpected, but very awesome. One day you'll have to share some pics of that.

Penta-you're correct, as even WalMart used to sell a few of these vehicles and such. I have/had an aircraft and space roller with that company's name.


For me, I have to go with the Liquidator and the StormEagle, and over those, the Ghoststriker X-16. I love the sound effects and the lit interior giving it a very realistic feel, save for the neon armament.

Also have a Monsterblaster APC painted in OD Green to simulate the APC from ALIENS. Too bad I never found those HotToys figures to outfit it with.

The 97/98 Stinger is another decent truck.

Top of the list for me would have to be my USS FLAGG AIRCRAFT CARRIER.

This would be followed by my DEFIANT SPACE VEHICLE LAUNCH COMPLEX. I am extremely pleased to have both of these fine items.

Also on the list, off the top of my head, would certainly be the Tomahawk, Sky Raven, Night Raven, and the APC, which I've always enjoyed.

And my custom Armor-Bots.

Devilfish
Bomb Disposal Unit (somehow this one survived the 80's)
Sharc

Killer WHALE

The first 3 i liked mainly b/c they were good, simple little vehicles that just about anyone could drive. The Whale...well, that thing's just damn huge and fun.

HA HAA!!!! I just noticed that!

Most Precious.... would have to be my AF APC, my Brazilian red Water Moccasin and my Transportable Tactical Battle Platform. Battle Platform was always my favorite playset to play with as a kid. It went through countless battles and was one of the first pieces I had to obtain for my adult collection.

Ah memories!

DUDE! I had that Lazer Force ground vehicle. I'd totally forgotten about that.

Only vehicles I have are the new Skyhawk, and a BBI Hummvee. The original Skyhawk was one of my first two Joe vehicles, (got it and the Asp at the same time) and the Hummer is painted up for my civilian monster hunters team.

I've also got a few motorcycles. Need to finish the flying one.

any pics of that Monster hunters hummer sounds interesting

It's just blue, with white lettering. One of these days, I need to get or make a decent roof gun for it.
