When you were a kid what was your best present for Christmas?

GI Joe stuff was the best.

nice collection moparz now i see what my headquarters is missing. that rack thing isnt there.

Those pics I had found on line, but I do still have them in boxes in my attic. Some of the boxes are the originals & probably worth more than the toy itself. 

I pulled it all out of the attic once a few years ago to show my daughter when she was about 8 years old. She thought they were pretty cool.

G.I. Joe was OK, but Captian Action, now that was something!

My best gift was a Chopper Bicycle very similar to the one in the pic. I rode down a steep hill on Xmas day, got the speed wobbles and wrecked!  I ended up in Hospital the bike was Totalled.

That Captain Action figure looks like he's a little constipated.....

Bummer about wrecking it, those bikes were cool. I had the exact same one in blue that my grandmother got me one year. I don't recall if it was a Christmas or Birthday present since both dates are close together.

Raleigh reissued the Chopper bikes, but they are slightly different due to mandated safety crap. Saw it in the local bike shop when I got my mountain bike a couple of years ago, also a Raleigh.

You'd be thinking about $h!ttin& a brick if a costume change was supposed to give you super powers, too!

That one does look a little different the seat's different, and gear the shifter is in a different location I had a "aftermarket" speedo on mine  which got smashed when I came off. If you were a real hardcore Chopper "nerd" there was a flag that could be attached too I don't recall if I had that though
