Great thread,without getting all psychological...I JUST LOVE TOYS!!! I guess toys were there for me in my teens when i was the shy introverted kid,who struggled to socialise with other people,when i got my first G/F i gave all my toys to my brother......then she dumped me,and i swore id never change for anyone again,i jumped from SW to Action Force(GI Joe),and through the long dry years of the mid-late 90's and the early 00's i waited and waited..then the new SW hit,followed by the new GI joe,then MU/IM,my collection is a little out there,but i do have eclectic/unusual tastes which dictate my buying habits,im currently reworking my collection to include customs made by other toyfans,and my own kitbashes,but i do feel that i have retained my "child-like wonder" where toys are concerned,which is why i enjoy em so much!!!
