Those idiots contribute to the rise in prices of toys (see figma for exmple,from 22$ to 55$+ for 1/12 scale figure with few accessories, that's a rise of about 250% within 9 years! What joke), because they just can't say no at some point and have no boundaries.

I have zero nostalgia for the toys of my childhood. ZERO. Honestly, the toys I played with as a child were garbage compared to all the awesome stuff we have today. I own only one of my childhood toys- my original 1982 mail-away straight arm Cobra Commander. Otherwise, I give no shits.

However, I don't hold it against people who DO run around re-buying their childhood action figures...everyone has their "thing," but when you get down to it, we're all just a bunch of grown-ups who collect toys, and that's cool.
