GI Joe Action Marine 40th Anniversary Flags Set 2004 Mint On Mint Card No Figure

Description: Submitted for your review is a 2004 Hasbro GI Joe 40th Anniversary Authentic Reproduction of a1964 Era Issue Accessory Set US Marine Flag Set - NO FIGURE 1/6 Scale Set - Five Flags - Mint On Card Brand New - Never Opened When he was first introduced in 1964, GI Joe took the toy world by storm. With 21 movable parts and loads of detailed accessories, "America's Movable Fighting Man" quickly became a sensation and a new way to play for boys across the nation and around the world. His name is derived from the usage of "GI Joe" for the generic U.S. soldier. The development of the GI Joe toy line led to the coining of the term "action figure" (not a doll!). GI Joe's appeal to boys has made it an American classic among toys, having been named Toy of the Century by The Children's Museum of Indianapolis in 2012, when over 24,000 folks, young and old, voted for their favorite toy of the last century. To commemorate the 40th Anniversary of America's greatest toy soldier, GI Joe, Hasbro began releasing large box sets that included a boxed 12 inch action figure from one of the four Armed Services (Action Soldier, Action Marine, Action Pilot and Action Sailor) and related uniform and accessory sets. The 40th packaging (including the related uniform and accessory sets) were nearly identical to the original items. This wonderful line gives any newbie to GI Joe, or any veteran collector, a chance to re-live the feeling that boys felt when they got their first GI Joe and were able to dress him with different equipment. I received my first Joe in 1965 when I was 11 years old, and I can tell you that there was no greater feeling of joy, than when I played with GI Joe and dressed him in different uniforms. I am not alone, as there are millions of boys who love GI Joe and his many incarnations to this day. This will make a wonderful gift for a pre-teen boy! This auction is for one accessory set (no figure is included) from the 40th Anniversary releases. This is the GI Joe Flag set that was issued with the Hasbro 40th Anniversary GI Joe Action Marine Communications Flag set, which was 21st in the Series, from 2004. This Flag set includes 5 different flags, the USA flag, and one each for the four original branches of our military, Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force. FYI, I have also included a picture (the last pic of my listing) from James DeSimone's book, "The New Official Identification Guide To GI Joe 1964-1978", which is my go to GI Joe bible. James listed the Flags as item #24 on page 3 of his book. Please compare what was originally issued by Hasbro in 1964, to what was issued by Hasbro in 2004. I find it amazing that Hasbro was able to recreate these phenomenal sets so accurately. My question is why would anyone spend over $200 for an original flag set, when you can own this pristine set for a fraction of a vintage set? This carded set has never been opened and contents have never been handled, or played with, in any way. The contents are 100% mint. The card display beautifully. Please review the pictures as they are part of the description, and ask any questions, as there are no returns on opened items :-( Flat Rate $6.00 for economy shipping, handling, and insurance to the Continental USA. Hawaii and Alaska should contact me for exact shipping charges. All others must use the eBay International Shipping program.
