This thing might be more obnoxious than the U.S.S. Flagg, but I’ll take one if you have an extra. See specs and views at Yo Joe! The commercial is below.

    No kidding. I don’t remember seeing any of these playsets that required an extra room in your house. Seems difficult to play with.

    Holy crap. My friend had the aircraft carrier and I had the cobra battledome, but I don’t remember this at all. Maybe by 1987 I was phasing out of G.I. Joe or maybe they only showed these ads to kids with the money to afford the toy.

    Holy crap. I vaguely remember the USS Flagg, but definitely never saw this enormous toy. But it figures, in 1987 I was way past anything dealing with toys.

    Holy crap. I was a freshman in high school in ’87. That’s why I’ve never heard of this thing until now.
