Collecting Hasbro's G.I. Joe

If you want a complete reference book that lists EVERY G.I. Joe product ever made, then you want The Complete Encyclopedia To G.I. Joe. It is available for $25 from Krause Publications, the publishers of The Toy Shop newspaper. 

Here is a short list of major dealers of G.I. Joe figures and equipment, who have prominent ads in The Toy Shop. I have no personal experience dealing with these people! I am simply passing on to you contact information. The guys who take out full page ads are:

• The Hobby Lobby, Kulpsville, PA, phone (215) 721-9749
• Cotswold Collectibles, Clinton, WA, phone (360) 579-1223, email: cotswold@whidbey.net
• Louis Turczynski, Wernersvill, PA, phone (610) 670-1965

And some smaller dealers:

• The Medic (GI Joe repairs!), Crestwood, KY phone (502) 241-4509
• Atomic Age, Mill Valley, CA, phone (415) 388-5818
• Carolyn Berens, mail a LSASE to Box 18552, Fairfield OH 45018

There are various G.I. Joe Collectors conventions held each year. Call the G.I. Collectors Club of Southern California, at (818) 563-1179 about conventions.

Also contact Marz Productions at (407) 260-8869. They say they are the official promotors of the GI Collectors Conventions, and they have convention-special figures for sale.
