Before Minimates, I collected (and still have a lot of) vintage GI Joe 12", mostly Adventure Team. At some point, I got turned on to Action Man, which was never sold in the USA. He is GI Joe's European and Canadian cousin. I hate to say it, but Palitoy took GI Joe and made him so much better and more worldly. I often could only find the stuff in the UK and many did not want to do the work to ship to me in the USA. Therefore, I feel your pain and do not discriminate with trades or prizes/giveaways on this site. Being left out because of your location sucks. If a post carrier services your area, you are eligible.
