One of the rich kids at school got the USS FLAGG for Christmas. That thing was so massive (we were boys) but I remember less than a year later his aircraft carrier was all in broken pieces , scattered around his room. I also remember seeing the USS FLAGG in the Sears Christmas Catalog and wanted it SO badly!

I recently got my USS Flagg up for display on my custom riser. I forgot to put the support for the superstructure there are no doors down there and I used 2x4s so it’s not that high up. I am going to make my modifications this weekend now to include the strips to keep it from sliding. I had to wait til I was 40 to get mine but I do still have my Defiant General and 92 headquarters along with most of my smaller vehicles. Thank god for my parents having a basement and my dad having the organization skills that I could sort all that stuff out! He was in the Air Force and worked on the SR-71 Blackbird so he’s got his stuff really together lol. I now have a Terror Drome and it really is still just as fulfilling now as it was as a kid having this stuff for me. Now I’m just working on getting shelves and tables arranged in my basement so it’s not a cluttered mess of Joe and Star Wars stuff everywhere! Thanks for the great video! I really enjoyed it.

I'm 45 now and I still wish I could have had something like that as a kid in the 80s. Having been born and raised in Germany, I could only dream of toys like that. For one, obviously "militaristic" toys were forbidden, but also was stuff just way more expensive in Germany than it was in the USA, for whatever reason. For example, I was shocked to learn as an adult that the "Castle Greyskull" playset from the "Masters of the Universe" toy line apparently cost 25 US Dollars in the States, while it cost something like 150 Deutschmarks (which back then were about 75 to 80 Dollars) in Germany, so 3 times as much. A play set of the size and seeming quality of this aircraft carrier here would probably have cost near 1000 Deutschlmarks / 500 Dollars in Germany back then, if it would have been sold there. I was always so flabbergasted and envious when I saw American kid's rooms in movies like "E.T.", "Poltergeist" or "The Goonies" filled to the ceiling with hundreds of action figures, toy planes and other such stuff, while I, despite being from a middle class family, could only afford a few of those things. I had a Castle Greyskull set, maybe 2 dozen action figures and 3 or 4 vehicles and that was a lot by German standards of the time. My parents really splurged when they got me Greyskull, a "Wind Rider" and my first 4 Masters of the Universe action figures for Christmas in ..... I think it must have been 1983 or so.

@@woodman29 Yeah, I suppose I come across as unappreciative, but I'm just talking about wishes and desires I had as a kid. When I say my family was middle class, that is probably bad communication on my part, because it will conjure images of modest wealth to an American reading it, which would not be correct in regards to what a German would call middle class. By American standards we probably were dirt poor. My parents had decent jobs (he was a tool maker and she was a accountant) but living standards have always been considerably lower in Germany than they were in the USA. The average German worker makes about 2/3 (66%) of what a American doing the same job makes, pays way more taxes and pays a lot more for necessities like gasoline and housing. I never got into this Comic Book Super Hero trend that swept international pop culture for the last 15 years or so, because I never was a comic book kid in my childhood. I just couldn't afford them. The average comic book back then cost about 5 to 8 Deutschmarks. My weekly allowance was 2 Deutschmakrs (1 US Dollar). Even as a kid I realized that the 5 to 10 minutes of reading enjoyment I would get out of a comic book was not worth blowing all my allowance for 2 to 4 weeks for, hehe. Most of my childhood was climbing around in castle ruins, fencing other kids with tree branches and sticks, or running around the woods throwing pine cones at each other. Sorry for boring you with this. I just wanted to point out that I'm not coming at this from a greedy rich kid perspective, at least I don't think so.

I have always regarded the U.S.S. Flagg as a work of art, and the stuff childhood dreams are made of. The arcade games in the quarters are a nice touch! Pure 1980s goodness there. Marauder is an awesome place. I tend to describe it as a "build a bear for G.I. Joes". I'm slowly making a wish list there, as I have many custom figures ideas I'd like to pursue.

Cool video I remember my Woolworth had it for 129$ canadian the box was impressive. Years later back in the 90’s I found one in a garage sale bought it for 20$ but was missing a lot of pieces especially the 2 big plates plus small parts Im still missing 13 pieces to complete mine but I wonder if I will be able to complete it one day.

I'll admit I was born in the late 80s so I cant imagine kids in the 80s was acting when this came out. My dad did show me the show and my mom bought me a few gi joe figures. I thought they were so cool. Now seeing this as a ln adult I can see how kids were bugging their parents to get this lol. Parents back then were probably so annoyed with all of this

I remain astonished that some madlad hasn't taken out his tape measure, modern power tools and maybe a 3d Printer and built himself a 1/12 Scale GI Joe Classified USS Flag. I mean just from looking at it it's really not that hard of a Modeling Project. With a CNC Lathe or Lasercutter you could probably even bang it out in kit form. And for those wondering what to do for Planes? Those 2 larger ships from the Lightyear movie paint up into excellent 1/12 Joe aircraft. Plus there's always the 2 seater GI Joe Snowspeeder.

Hi JEFFREY. I unfortunately don’t have any measurements/schematics. I had to set up the FLAGG on a large blank paper then trace out all the footprints (trusses, bow, stern and shape of ship) that way the base matched perfectly. It is a pain setting it up and taking it apart to accomplish this but absolutely worth it! Good luck and Happy Holidays!

I think its a bit underwhelming. It's got it's big size but nothing much can be done with it or move it. I think a C-130 that could fit a lot of figures and early vehicles like the VAMP and AWE, had guns and bombs like the AC-130 spectre, etc would have had more play value
