Disclaimer: this is more of a referendum on the climate and times in which we live, than an indictment of anything anyone has written.

Are we really calling figs made in 2014 "old?" It's sad how we live in an age that only exists in the "here & now." A culture that seems to only appreciate what's current. Even here, on a toy aficionado website, where old and new toys are celebrated, it's common to read criticisms of the very figs that paved the path for their latest ("greatest" ??? - not always) iterations. I like new things as much as the next person, but if I regarded every non-2017 fig as so much superannuated tech, then I may as well not collect at all...maybe I'll start a rental service for figs. This way, for the more persnickety collectors, they can rotate out their aging collection in lieu of the most current and shiny baubles. lol I think that might actually make money! Hardy! Haw! Haw!

...again, this isn't aimed at anyone here, per se. Yesterday, I happened to read a comment that remarked about "how well" the 2014 Carnage had held up and I couldn't help scratching my head and thinking, "WTF?"
