In Hakes' Latest Auction, This Is The Prize Jewel

 
 
Item Description
 
Large and impressive 30.75x44.5x11 deep illustrated cardboard box w/large full color box label contains complete parts for the U.S.S. Flagg Aircraft Carrier from Hasbro's "G.I. Joe" toyline, ©1985. Box has original store price sticker and shows scattered wear, more noticeable on bottom side panel as displayed in store. This includes color rubs, creases and 2x5" area of surface paper/label lift. Scattered edge creases w/slight outward bowing to front/back main panels. VG/Fine overall. Expansive set includes multi-piece set that assembles to 7.5 feet long and features separate towing vehicle, fuel trailer, Admiral's Launch and electronics sound system that includes battery-operated microphone handset. Also comes w/"Keel-Haul" Admiral 3.75" tall figure and all paperwork. Instruction sheets are worn. Toy has been unboxed and decal stickers have been neatly applied (though there are some air bubbles under large "99" bow sticker). Comes w/empty decal sheets and all box inserts. We have thoroughly examined the parts for this set and can state it is 100% complete. Microphone handset features work, w/all three electronic sound effects working perfectly while microphone voice function no longer works, instead producing just clicking noises. Parts have some scattered lt. aging but are o/w Exc. to NM. This boxed set was the largest and best piece produced for this classic 1980s toyline and is highly desirable as complete and in original box. (K - $1000 to $2000)



 
 
 
Now I am not bidding on this because I have something else that I desperately want. He's mint in package but I know I will be outbid and POACHED like what always happens to me.  I know he's a bit pricey this mysterious character who I bid on but he's worth is very certified mint in box complete. He would be a true gem in my collection. Totally worth it.

I know the figure you're bidding on, and I wish you all the luck. It will be a momentous day when that guy finally arrives at the Cave of Cool. Good luck!

Not sure what you're bidding on, but that Kenner Alien figure is
outstanding. Don't have 880$ laying around though.
Good luck with your bid.

Oh I know I will be poached but I had to make a go. Maybe he would be ignored. But I set my limit and if I lose him then I lost him. Wouldn't be the first time.
