I don't understand why grown men are complaining about toys for children.

I mean...they're for children, right? Not forty year old collectors who bitch on the internet about how their children's toys are childish? Right? I miss the good ol days too Ferris, when children's toys were played with by children and not some old guy with a beard who makes videos on youtube.

I mean, seriously though! I know there is a collectors market and everything, but I think some collectors need some perspective.

Yeah, I can agree to an extent, but lets be real. These are just solid pieces of plastic. I dunno how old you are, but I'm in my early 30's. I remember the good ol' days of 3-inch G.I. Joes with metal joints, meaningful Star Wars toys, metal Hot Wheels, roller wheels, and those cool Hot Wheels cities that you could fold like a briefcase. Remember Micro-Machines? With that fast talking guy who advertised for them? I love memory lane, it is so comfortable.

But, yeah, you're right, these are just for kids and that guy is acting a little goofy about them. However, in a way, I can relate. The toys of our day was so much cooler, just like our parents thought the toys of their day was better. Kind of scares me though what my grand-kids will be playing with!!
