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?"

2014 old! That makes me ANCIENT haha!
