  1. Hold on man... you won't believe this- but I found a COMPLETE reference to EVERYTHING gi joe... im looking right now...because there is so much of this stuff it might take some time...

    ok... The first thing I found was the suit....I hate to tell you this- but if it IS this suit--your toy that you are showing is missing its arms.... it should have arms

    {it's distinquishing feature is that it should have the cobra mark on the side of the helmet}

    now comes the hard part---

    identifying the accessories

    owner is  "Snake Eyes"  version 2  {1985}

    http://www.yojoe.com/action/85/snakeeyes...

    this is going to blow your mind....

    I found the backpack

    It is a heavy machine gunner backpack

    and ammo box

    http://www.yojoe.com/action/02/duke9.sht...

    http://www.yojoe.com/action/02/duke10.sh...

    this backpack was re-used

    as a brown version, a tan version, and a light green version

    Note: This version of the backpack and ammo box has the two parts epoxied together. The peg for the Heavy Machine Gun Tripod  to attach to has also been removed.

    Those missiles come from other vehicles

    and not the ones in the pictures

    { I might find those too

    if you give me some time }

  2. Hey joe collector here and the first answer was great.  Missiles red go to the Stinger I believe and the white are for the Whale.  Are you looking to sell??   If you are put the missiles and other accesories (except timber) together and sell as a lot hopefully 5 to 6 dollars.  The other items are missing things like the bridge layer no bridge but it has other parts which is great (BTW those two arms are for the bridge layer) anyways it will not go for as much as well as the Snake and ASP which will fetch maybe 5 dollars the Layer 6 or 7 and the other probably 10.  You can look to sell all as a lot and might get a better price though.   Give me a hollar if you need help in this regard.
