I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OTHER TOY LINES USE TO COMPLEMENT YOUR OWN JOE UNIVERSE (EQUIPMENT OR ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUR DIOS OR PICTURES? PERSONALLY USE "WORLD PEACEKEEPERS" SOME "STAR WARS" ACCESSORIES, AND A LOT TERRARIUM ITEMS SUCH WATERFALLS, HIDEOUTS, CARPET GRASS AND PLASTIC PLANTS FOR AQUARIUMS.

I use a lot of Star Wars accesories, such as clothing, scenery(computers) etc. Also the playsets are pretty cool for futuristic Cobra bases.

You guys need to check out Big Lots, if you have one in your area.

This weekend I saw the set with the World Peace Keepers (Power Team) military life set with bunk bed, the locker and 3 marines for $5 and the camp set with cloth tent, campfire and 3 delta force guys, also $5.

I actually passed on them for now, because I'm tired of paying for figures I don't want, especially when I have all or most of them already. I mean, they should've included one figure and the set would be $3, I'd buy a few.

Default What I use.....

Star Wars, Rambo, The Hulk, Playmobil, Spawn, Power team, Van Helsing, Chap Mei, some old '80 GI Joe knockoff stuff (Remco Freedom Force maybe??) Tonka Steel Monsters (For Dreadnok Vehicles!), Waterworld, and I actually bought a MASH playset...cool picnic tables and hospital beds, and Pirates of the Carribean Ultimate Black Pearl playset.

But my ULTIMATE toys are my bridges. I have 3, a WWII pontoon treadway, a ponton treadway and a WWII Bailey. They are about 1:10 scale. They are models that the military used to train combat engineers with when they couldn't get the real bridges or the weather was too inclimate. As the military has totally migrated to the MGB (Medium Girder Bridge), they threw out their old models and I've been scooping them up on ebay! Check 'em out...... www.photos.yahoo.com/ender098

Remco had like a dozen names for their 3 3/4" military lines, American Defense was exclusive to K-Mart (and later used non-remco figures).

I've seen the MASH set you mention. My brother and I had 2 ambulances and the helicopter, which broke immediately. The ambulance saw a lot of use, though.
