Collector's Call Season 6 Episode 16 Neil LaSala: G.I. Joe

Former Marine Corps Reservist Neil LaSala may have retired from duty, but his devotion to the armed forces continues in his expansive collection of the original, 12-inch G.I. Joe action figure. Neil's home is a virtual museum of the iconic toy's early years and rare interim incarnations, and he shares with Lisa some of his most desirable items - including an African American soldier, Joe as a State Trooper complete with motorcycle and accessories, and a complete (and pristine!) run of the super-rare Photobox series. Joining Lisa is Collector's Call favorite Joel Magee a.k.a "America's Toy Scout." Joel appraises Neil's meticulously curated collection, then offers him a trade for something he ends up already owning - but with an unexpected, Joel Magee twist. And when Lisa learns it's also Neil's birthday, she rises to the occasion with a final, G.I. Joe-themed surprise.
