Forgotten Canadian Exclusive GI Joe Toy Sells For Over $31K at Auction

 
 

A rare Canadian-exclusive GI Joe vehicle set has just sold for $31,129 after a competitive auction.

Originally sold for just $12.99 in 1983 as a Sears exclusive in Canada, the set includes a Cobra Stinger and a black Cobra version of a weapon system.

The seller recently discovered the toy, who says his mother bought it for him when he was 10 years old but never actually gave it to him. Instead, it remained packed away and forgotten, remaining factory sealed for decades.

That untouched condition helped drive major interest from collectors, as this version of the set was only available in Canada and saw limited production. It’s also believed to be the only AFA-graded example currently recorded.

What started as a missed childhood gift has now turned into a $31,000 piece of toy history.
