    There's only one Blockbuster store in existence anymore. It's somewhere in Oregon. The company went bankrupt in 2014 and the vast majority of the rental chain franchises closed, eventually leaving the only one left standing. Having a Blockbuster card is a relic from a bygone era.

    And I seriously miss going to Blockbuster.

    Me too. There's a doc on Netflix "The Last Blockbuster" that's pretty interesting and nostalgic.

    I was a bit too old for this when it made it's a debut in 1985, but this would have been such a kick-ass toy to have. It retailed for $110 at the time.

    Someone trying to sell the BOX ONLY for $1300

    Some eBay listings, and these are missing parts and they are still charging these prices:

    Damn, $3k! My parents have a ton of our old GI Joe stuff from the mid-90's in their basement still. Might have to tell them to hold it a few more years and then check prices on ebay

    with my parents moving from my childhood home to a condo this year, there were a ton of things that we went through that they had held on to. i will take some pictures of my 'treasures' i remember from when i was a kid. i didn't have the aircraft carrier, but i had a hovercraft and troop transport that had a bunch of joes in them. unfortunately with time, the rubber band that kept their bodies connected at the waist have all broken so it looks like i was a little psychopath with all the torsos separated from the legs

    I wasn't into GI Joe when I was a kid, but I had a metric ton of Star Wars and Transformers junk from the 80s. I know I still have some of the Star Wars stuff, but I have absolutely no clue where the Transformers junk got to. Maybe my brother took them for my nephews back when they were younger.
