I’m glad it finally got there. I sent it two days after the Big Ben box. It just took another month to get there 😅

To get a Holy Grail item to a collection is so cool! I'm happy for you Tony! You deserve this! It shows the type of person you are and what you mean to your fans and friends!

This is what makes our community fantastic. Generosity rarely seen in the world today. Made my day thanks Michael and Tony.

HOLY WHAT THE HECK?!?!

Man that's just awesome gift.. What a super cool dude. Congrats to him and his wife.

I can’t wait to see this baby on the Tidal Creek with the Moray in hot pursuit! 💥💥💥

Wow! Awesome box of goodies! That Whale is a fantastic looking toy. Well played Mike and many congrats on your wedding. Much love to you both.

Great box of stuff! Especially Cutter and the Whale. Also - congrats on the wedding MVargo!

We need more weddings on the channel! Such a great box of gifts! A Whale... OMG

I love how instinctive Tony's reactions are in this video

Tundra Stalker was my one and only Stalker I had as a kid. I loved that figure and with his kayak, mask and weapons made him awesome to play with as a kid. What a great bunch of Joes to be gifted!

Wow! Man my jaw hit the floor as soon as you held up the scout cycle! Enjoy man, that's one I missed as a kid but always wanted.

As soon as I saw that bag of missiles in your hand I new exactly what was in the bottom of that box, lol. I also have one from when I was a kid, still mostly complete though a couple pieces are broken and need replacement. Still love it though, my brother and I got hundreds of hours of fun out of the Whale. 100% easily one of the top 5 best Joe vehicles ever. I totally understand your loss for words at being gifted such a rare and mint condition item as this. That's just awesome. =D

Thats an incredible gift box! Outstanding, Mr. Vargo! There be W.H.A.L.E. here!

MVargo, you made a certifiable bad ass speechless 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The looks on your face each time you unwrapped a figure and then realized there was a WHALE in the box were priceless. You had the, "Are fu#&ing kidding me!" look. Congrats on adding the W.H.A.L.E. to the collection. Look forward to the review video. Cheers.

Wow! The WHALE. What a gift! I'll never forget that afternoon back in 1984 when my mom convinced me to spend the $27 I saved on "lots of smaller things" instead of buying the WHALE. I've regretted it ever since. I evetually started restoring one I bought a few years back but I'm still not done.

The look of wonderment on your face!! Pulled me right in. Clearly a deserving sense of appreciation.

I felt those feelers! Whoa! I said to myself I’d be speechless opening a box like that! One of the best toys ever. Congrats Tony!

Awesome video Tony. Needed something positive today and that just did it! You just unboxed my childhood! I remember playing with that in the bath! Amazing generosity.

I got the Whale right after an amazing Christmas with money relatives sent . Right after my little brother did the same at Thrifty drug store .(western USA ) I still remember sleeping in a tent we got for Christmas and enjoying our new Whales . Nothing better than that memory . I have a great replacement Whale now and another half way there . Thx !

Awesome act of G.I. Joe kindness, from the equally awesome MVargo97. Great reactions from Tony, too. Congratulations to MVargo97 and his new wife.

That's awesome, this is why I love this community. So jealous, but extremely happy for you Tony.

Wow! What a beautiful gift to you Tony! MVargo, dude! Outstanding man! So cool to see you finally get one Tony! Enjoy that thing and I can’t wait to see the video!

Wow that’s is one of the best mystery boxes I ever seen!!!!

Congratulations Tony! That is PURE 100% AWESOMENESS! I built mine over a year plus timeframe and it was a blast to do. Happy for you dude

Wow! It's amazing how generous some folks in this hobby can be. Very happy for you. Also, I am a new subscriber. Thank you for the content!

The Whale is an all time best Christmas present I got. But, some 40 years later in mint condition is amazing. Congratulations.

That's actually many of my favorite joes of the entire original run, great gift.

6:21 That's actually topside

There are truly some amazing people in this community

Awesome score Tony and what generosity from Vargo, super cool. Man it feels like yesterday when I was playing with the Whale in the bathtub lol, such an amazing vehicle. I’m sure they would HasLab a new version of the Whale, in either scale, but I would really love to see the Whale come back out. TerrorDrome and Whale are my 2 favorite Joe items outside of the figures themselves.

Congrats on the W.H.A.L.E,I still remember getting mine for my birthday back when I was a kid.

Christmas came early for you! That was an incredible unboxing video and well deserved. The Whale is one of my favourite GI Joe vehicles and I'm really looking forward to a review video...

Wow the utter shock and joy on your face Tony and lost for words now that takes a lot lol defo an awesome toy and very much a grail moment. I agree it's the gi joe equivalent to the millennium falcon. I'm on the look out for one but a beater at car boot sales as I never had that as a child ,it came out just as I started to stop playing with toys. roll on the review. As always awesome content keep up the great work

That's a great mystery box! Ripcord was my first Joe figure as a kid, and every time I see one it brings back all those cool kid birthday party memories. Love the Whale! My friend gave me his when he moved during childhood and while of course it didn't have all the pieces, it still got my Joes from Point A to B. That's a great centerpiece for your Joes!

😮 So many childhood favorites in there! (And really looking forward to the classified Torpedo)

LOL - Christmas morning came early! Great to see. xx

That is Awesome! Congratulations Tony!

WOW!! Congratulations to everyone!!! 💣💥🔥🤙🏼🍻

Incredible unboxing!

Wow! You are truly special and regarded in high esteem by you friend. Enjoy.

that is awesome its one of the grails for me as well! congrats tony!

I love how you were saying you really wanted a Killer Whale, then boom there it is. I just restored one myself, they are beautiful.

I remember having that figure(Stalker) when I was a kid. I don't recall the kayak having a gun on it originally though.

Great score. My dumb ass gave my childhood whale to my cousin a year ago. Boy do I regret that. I would never ask for it back but I sure do miss having it since I’ve really enjoyed digging all my Joes out of storage at my parents house. Great video Tony.

In the GI Joe world only two vintage toys I ever hear said in same sentence when it comes to Joe grails: Aircraft carrier and a complete whale. That's one very rare true Grail you got there. From a true friend.

I love this! Can't wait to see your Whale video now!

Restoration video! 👍💥🇺🇸🍺

What an absolutely incredible package. Each item an excellent addition to any collection, combined a legendary gift! Congratulations to the newlyweds wishing you all the best. Cheers!

Fine quality toys from a top Gent. Lovely. 🤴

😁 By far - the best unboxing video I have ever seen! I'm a vet too - seeing the emotion on your face as you were going thru this truly amazing gift box was truly priceless! Congrats on being an ever growing part of 'real' people who enjoy collecting and have the ability to be articulate it about on KZfaq. Subscribed! 👍

I had the Whale for my birthday in the late 80’s or early 90’s from Toys r Us. Such a cool toy I had loads of fun with it🙌🙂

Our community has some really great members

Was lucky enough to have a whale when I was a kid. That and the sea platform. They were the most played with vehicles I had by far lol. That’s awesome you have a whale now

WaIt i ThOuGhT yOu HaTeD Gi JoE?? Kidding mate, but massive congrats to MVARGO97, good on ya mate.

Jeez Louise! That is simply amazing!

That was so incredibly generous of him. That is amazing, congrats on the new addition to your collection!

No lie, I am genuinely a little jealous of that Killer W.H.A.L.E. That's not to say that Tony doesn't deserve it, he does. While I'm sure I'm not the first to state as such, I suppose that feeling of Christmas morning joy can be experienced at any age and at any point in time.

Wow that is so epic. I bet you cant wait to get it put together.

Amazing gifts from m vargo 97. I use to have the whale. Great unboxing Tony.

So awesome tony i got a whale awhile ago and have been rebuilding it its a tremendous piece andddddd it floats

Very generous. Awesome toys.

You have my dream job, Analog Toys.

Super lucky dude 👍

Whaaaaatttt! 😱 Dude.. so good to see this.. and so happy for u. 👌🏼😄

Youre a good man Tony, you 100% deserve all the love others rain down upon you.

That's awesome. I wanted one of those as a kid, but got the Cobra MORAY instead. Which I thought was a good substitute.

Like a kid on Christmas day Tony,Fair play.

Christmas morning in October. Cheers👊🏻

It’s like Christmas morning for you :)

now we need a will it float? vid.😅😅 congrats.👍👍

My jealousy levels are sky high at the moment !!! Happy for u though Tony 👍

Putting out some good karma is a good feeling on both sides of the coin. Congrats on the Whale Tony! -Dustin

You have awesome friends. Hope to be one myself …beautiful gifts. You are loved

Christmas came early for Tony

5:55 is "Topside", I have him too

11:05 It's not an authentic WHALE unless it breaks straight out of the packaging. 😄 (My childhood one had 2 broken bits straight out of the box.) On a serious note, this was a hellacious, generous gift box!

That one figure is Topside not v2 of Cutter,he came as part of the battle corps line I believe.

Killer W.H.A.L.E. video ... coming soon!

Welcome to the club of Whales!!!!!!!

Auuu the cannon caps!

My Favorite toy as a Kid..

That box is a wet dream.

This was awesome!!

The figure with the Navy logo is not Cutter, His name is Topside, Naval combat Landing Ops or something like that.

Congratulations too all on wedding and whale. There you go make a video of you setting up the toy with parts of the wedding inserted you can call it the wedding in the whale lol again congratulations

Wow holy 🤩 Yo Joe toys. Congrats MVargo

I had one of those Steel Brigade mail aways. Named him Sgt. Iron Ram

OMG what an amazing gift! Great video my friend!

Holy flying sh*tballs, that's a hell of a unboxing.

New to the channel and really enjoying it. You two gentlemen are the definition of CLASS. This made my week . Thank you.

Wow , wow , just WOW , you lucky fella.

So awesome.

So COOL !!!!

not Cutter version 2, that is Topside

That is awesome so cool thanks 👍🏻
