NOT worth it you can find it open and complete for cheaper... I could get http://denver.craigslist.org/clt/2779807660.html and still have $2000 left over.. save the money and go to the GI JOE Convention and you can probably score a MISB one even cheaper there.

The reason this is so expecive is that its said to be mint in box. You who are probably going to customize it anyway can find it cheaper somewhere else I think. To put the prize in perspective. I got a 60 inch plasma screen tv for about the same sum. I am the only one I know who have such a TV. Friends and family have brought strangers to my house to see this TV. I spent my saving from four years to buy this TV.

You can find the general for under 200 bucks its nowhere near what that guy is asking . The flagg and defiant complex mint in box dont sell for that much . As for what it looks like Ive posted a link for you from yojoe.com
