"When you can't bend steel or leap tall buildings, the price of heroism goes up. So do the rewards."

The rewards found collecting G.I. Joe – A Real American Hero! – are abundant. But be prepared. Like any good soldier, you'll want to enter the fray well armed. The Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe, 1982-1994, 3rd edition documents with pictures, words, details inside intel and secondary market values for every G.I. Joe character, vehicle, playset, accessory and weapon system – as well as easily lost pieces for each – in this vintage run.
