G.I. Joe Motorcycle and Attack Cannon at Walmart in 1982
December 10, 1982. Scroll to p. 45 in this issue of the Kentucky New Era newspaper and you will find a sideways page featuring a Walmart advertisement. Zoom in on the ad, and Hasbro’s G.I. Joe comes into focus, sharing two of the original small vehicles priced at only $3.50/each. Man, I wish I’d paid attention to G.I. Joe just a little sooner when I was a kid; how did I not have a fleet of these awesome cycles at these prices?
