        A pay phone? I'd be hard pressed to even FIND a pay phone in this day and age....

          Absolutely. I was always jealous of one of my best friends whose parents had the money to pretty much buy him any mego and playset he wanted. I can still remember the day I met him. He was the new kid in the neighborhood; I was at a friend's house and he comes walking up with a red wagon filled with Mego figures. My eyes bulged out of my head....I had never seen so many before in my life. I only had Batman, Robin, and Superman but he had all the heroes, villains, apes, Star Trek, etc. along with all of the sets. I talked to him about a year or so ago about the figs and he said his mom either sold them in a yard sale or gave them to Goodwill years ago but he does remember that his parents kept the boxes. It made me laugh because chances are some of his figures are probably in some of our collections.

            Haha! I'd still collect toys. I'd buy the figures that I wanted back then at THOSE prices instead of wanting them for 20 years and buying them in the late 90s and early 00s.

            ...and I'd probably have about the same lack of luck with the girls in High School even if I went back knowing what I know now.

              Ok so at 8 years old where am I going to get the money to collect all the toys I want? I'd still have parents that would tell me NO!

                    I'd still buy toys... but I wouldn't have wasted my time and money on SOME of the toys I bought as I got older. Seriously what was wrong with me when I decided I need to own Playmates Trek figures?

                    I would have been less cranky about the knockoffs I got, since those puppies go for some major cash now.

                      If we'd stayed in NYC and not moved to CA, I might have convinced my mom to keep more of my things. Especially seeing the pathetic garbage that's out nowadays.
