A collector's guide to spark the imagination!,
By
This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe 1982-1994: Identification and Price Guide (Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe 1982-1994: Identification & Price Guide) (Paperback)
I didn't even know about the 1st version of "The Ultimate Guide to G.I.Joe", but I followed the development of the second edition with eagerness (even pre-ordered at Amazon). This edition features full-color pages with crisp photos and behind-the-scenes information compiled and written by a true collector. His dedication is demonstrated in the attention to detail on every entry. The images are close and sharp - the next best thing to having an item in your hands. All figures, vehicles, and playsets are shown with their respective parts and weapons, and easily lost items (e.g. items you might be missing and not know it) are highlighted. Although items will always vary in cost on the secondary market, the prices are a great thumbnail estimate. While I'm not a big "variant" collector, most of the rarer versions and mail-aways are highlighted with photos in the book as well.
When I was a kid, I spent endless hours flipping through the Hasbro catalogs that came with vehicles daydreaming what I wanted next. This book has reawakened that fascination, and though I may not be buying everything in it, I've got a pretty good idea what I want to chase down. I've read or flipped through this book every day since I got it, and I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in '80s vintage G.I.Joe toys.

The best 1982-94 G.I. Joe guide available,
By
This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe 1982-1994: Identification and Price Guide (Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe 1982-1994: Identification & Price Guide) (Paperback)
Having purchased the 1st edition of Mark's guide, I was eager to get his 2nd edition. Mark had reached out to the G.I. Joe collector's community asking for corrections, additions and suggestions for the 2nd edition.
Figures, vehicles and playsets, this book has it all. Many pictures of the vehicles are larger and more detailed than they were in the 1st edition, while some are smaller. Each figure's description includes a list of accessories that came with the figure. The guide also includes "inside" info and tidbits from Larry Hama, who was the writer of the G.I. Joe Marvel comic and creator of many 3 3/4" characters as well as writer of the figure's filecards. I suggest buying both of Mark's guides so that you don't miss out on anything. These are must haves for any collector.

Well worth the money! I just got into collecting GI Joes, great book! Now they just need one like this for Star Wars 1977-1985 figures.
