The Arrival

 - 30 -

Earlier this year I sent just a few little extra items I had to a Sandboxer (a fellow Joe collector) who needed it. Normally, this would be considered Karma (a trade for good-will sake) and nothing more would have been said. But a week or two later I got a package in the mail. A fairly large box. I opened it, curious as all get-out, and what you see above, is what was in that box.

Note, that this is a vintage GI Joe ATV (Adventure Team Vehicle) and was in very good condition. The only problem with the vehicle was that the control handles were missing, so I put some ski-pole handles from a Max Steel set on there instead. Those have since been replaced with Action Man ski-pole handles which are just gorgeous!

Anyway, the ATV was one of my holy grails, and I was so surprised to find this in my mail in exchange for a few paltry bucks worth of extras, that I had to do something special to pay it homage. I hope this was sufficient.
