As far as Joes are concerned, getting a ROLLING THUNDER for Xmas in 1988 and spending the next 2 hours putting that thing together. My brother got the Phantom that year as well which was pretty cool.

As far as events and family and great vacations, I lived here in Jacksonville in 1989 and we went out to Denver ee my Grandparents for Xmas that year. It was awesome! It snowed a lot and me and my brother got out in the snow every day. We went sledding, we went skiing and we got to see A LOT of family we didnt see often. That was a good Xmas.

One last thing, when I was 15 I got a large LEGO TECHNIC set that I wanted. It was pretty cool, it was a black car made up of 1300 pieces including independent suspension, a V8 engine and a 4 speed manual transmission. I still have the set, I dont think I will ever get rid of it.

That's cool PV... I have a lot of family out in CO too.

I guess one of my best memories, as far as presents, is the year I got my 4-wheeler. My brother-in-law had it hid in his garage so I had NO idea that I was finally getting one... I heard it and about knocked everyone over to get outside where he was driving it all over the front lawn. My stepmom tried to stop me from going outside( yeah right... she was the first one I knocked over to get out the door!) It was a blue Yamaha, 5 speed, front and rear racks..... soooooooooo fun!! Sadly, I had to sell it later on to get my first car. ... I sold it for $1,200 and got my car for $800, but had to spend the extra money on parts and insurance.
Still was an awesome present! ... btw, CHUCKLES... I want another one.

Well I'm not sure I had a lot of great ones, but 1982 was pretty good I was 7 and my brothers and I got a good portion of the 82 Joe stuff, I can remember the Vamp, MMS, Flak, Short Fuze, Breaker, and maybe Flash, It wasn't a lot and I had to share, but it was one I will remember for some time.
