Do You Still Buy 'Toys'?
Just wondering if you or your wife or husband still buys kids toys. From model kits to trains to whatever soothes the savage breast of play.
There were television shows when I was a kid that didn't have a toy line. Somebody got wise and created toy lines based on those old shows. Now we're buying up them things like there ain't no tomorrow.
Wish I had kept all those toys I had when I was a kid in great condition. Each year they go for more bucks.
A friend of mine, a tv producer, to this day she still buys two of every Barbie doll they make. She must have an entire second house full of these things. Shoes, hats etc.
Another pal who is a doctor buys every 'Hot Wheel' they come out with and any he can find elsewhere. It's amazing!
Don't even talk about electric trains and slot car racing. I have pals who don't leave the house!
I enjoy collecting as they brighten up the work place, terrariums, etc. Some of these Japanese toys are so well crafted you'ld think they were museum pieces.
