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.

I'm not talking about people who re-buy their original childhood toys which is fine and understandable. It's about those people who are signed in one of those stupid subscriptions clubs or buy any overpriced modren adult collector representation of childhood toy/character. Also, I completely disagree with your statement that toys in the past were garbage, even compared to our time. Toys back then were much more creative, unique, high quailty, durable and affordable. I like adult collector toys too, but still prefer playline toys because they're the real toys! This notion that adult collector toys are the better toys just because they have better articulation and details, is wrong. Toys meant to be played with, they supposed to be durable and affordable, which adult collector toys aren't.
