GI Joe 40th Anniversary Action Soldier Combat Set 2004

The Combat set is oddly named as it has no weapons. It comes with a pistol belt but no pistol. Which is unfortunate as pistols are hard to come by. The least they could have done is throw in a bag of grenades. But this is a faithful reproduction of the 1964 set and it does come with some pieces that nade it worth the purchase price. The belt, canteen and cover, first aid kit, entrenching tool and backpack were well worth the $35 that this set originally costs. Plus it came with a figure and back then an original nude figure costs about $50. With some spare parts one could assemble some spare parts. This could be Platoon commander, machine gunner or anyone else who doesn't carry an M1 rifle. Come to think of it this set should also have come with an M1 Carbine which is not to be confused with the M1 rifle.
