I remember one from service merchandise with the H.I.S.S. Not the crimson guard one. The black 788 one. There was a pretty good USS Flagg spread in the Sears wish book. If that damn thing didn't cost $100 I'd have had that too.

Oh, and I never had a Duke. And I never had an Optimus Prime. I had damn near everything else, though not the best year/version of everything.

I had a straight-armed snake eyes and sold him in a garage sale for like $1 about 15 years ago. Damn I was stupid.

I had a friend who had the USS Flagg. It took up like half his basement. It was pretty cool, but the play value was limited. You could only have it attacked so many times before it became a little repetitive.

omfg, I want all of those transformers.

I have the #13 optimus prime sitting on my desk right now. Although he's missing a lot of parts...like hands and a truck...I still love him though.

I used to lose it when that thing arrived at the house. I sat there and read the entire toy section and made notes on what I wanted.

Its funny that you mentioned the room sets that they had for the action figures. All the freakin GIJoe's would have the most awesome background shots set "outside"

Me and a couple of buddies would try to re-create the locations in the catalog, complete with to-scale streams/logs mounds of dirt etc. A big sand box and access to building materials ruled.

We mostly collected the Star Wars stuff, but also collected a ton of the Shogun Warriors when they were available. Small hard plastic projectiles shot out of the Warriors with the use of springs....so freaking awesome.

So when your room set/back ground was done we'd stand up all of our action figures and use the Shogun Warriors to attack with the long range projectiles that were provided.

Good times.

Personal disclaimer: of the pics listed, I owned all of the Star Wars figures, Grimlock, Blitzwing, Trailblazer, and one of the gay Transformer watches :0
