A win from eBay - mint and unused in the box. Named Osservazione Meteorologica, it comes from the Polistil company who held the GI Joe Licence for Italy. The front of the box...

It turns out it is in fact this, the GI Joe Adventure Team Hurricane Spotter set...

But what you're wondering is "Did he de-card it?" Damn straight I did! Et voila...

The equipment that comes with the set - a yellow version of the standard Hasbro map case and map, a rain measure and a portable radar scanner...

Chances are that Polistil din't go to the trouble of manufacturing the contents of the set themselves but just imported them for Hasbro in the USA. Note the standard Hasbro GI Joe label inside the jacket...

The set also comes with a silver version of the GI Joe binoculars...

The set is displayed on a GI Joe Adventure Team Sea Adventurer figure...

So, a stone-cold bargain as it turns out - 24 Euros for the boxed Polistil version as opposed to around $250 for the boxed Hasbro version! Result! bounce
