fair enough…

Just thought of something: with the new Star Wars The Force Awakens coming out, we'll have a new onslaught of toys.

you're right about that…

off topic, but that trailer for the force awakens. looks cool and then BAM.. December 2015.

I was like wtf!?

I wonder if every child, no matter the generation, feels that he or she grew up in the "Golden Age" of cartoons/toys. Shit, mang, we had: GI Joe, Transformers (Gen 1), Thundercats, Voltron, Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo, Star Wars, etc.

i think i just got this-- hilarious, hahahaha

I think I still have the vast majority of my childhood toys at my parents place. Shit like Tomy compressor toys (anyone have a hoomdorm?) and of course the obligatory star wars toys. I think I still have a fully working ATAT, Snowspeeder and Scout. Someone stole my laser tag. I'm pissed about that.

But guys, don't even waste time thinking you can sell them. Unless they are boxed/sealed with AFA grades they are basically worthless. I have one super rare figure but it's not worth anything as it's not boxed etc, and those toys were for playing with. It makes me so sad when I see kids who have kept toys boxed just for values.

I did give away some of the more useful toys (like offroad remote control car that I built from a kit) because I knew some kid would mental for it, but the worthless stuff that I loved, I don't think I could part with for pure nostalgia reasons.

I imagine the vast majority of boxed toys are acquired after childhood from surplus inventory.

the only thing i currently have at my house from my childhood would probably be my first stuffed animal that sits in my home office bookshelf and some of my old vinyl from my dad i listened too a lot. but my parents are pack rats and have saved most of my childhood toys for when i decide to procreate someday including 24 cubic feet of lego (ahh the benefits of having 9 older male cousins......), a giant box of construcx and my old star wars figures and toys (including the deathstar play set) theres probably a pile of matchbox toy cars and associated track pieces as well somewhere down there.

Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN Yeah, I’d like to know what horrible, scarring incident in your childhood turned you into such an ignorant, intellectual-hating philistine?

Just a few books. I recently took my extremely battered copy of Watership Down to Spain with me, which I know I've had since I was 8 because my mum wrote a "Merry Christmas" message inside. It's one of the few books that I can still get lost in as if I'm still 8 years old.

Originally posted by Jon_Snow Has anyone held on to anything from their childhood? I was recently doing some spring cleaning and ran across a couple boxes of few remaining things: 1. Match box cars. 2. D&D players handbook. 3. Estes model rocket plans. 4. Star Wars/Star Trek action figures (planning on selling on ebay)

1. My Grades and Yearbooks.
2. Back-Envelope Amateur Drawings.
3. Pictures

I would keep more, but we moved alot. I learned how to be practical; most stuff is junk.
