Will we get too old for toys ever again?

[johnmiic]

Too old? Nah. The money might run out but I will always have toys with me. It's like Baseball cards or Star Trek or Comic Books or your favorite re-runs. You never grow out of liking those things.

No, because I've been set in my ways toys and otherwise for a long time now.
I'm not able to be a full-time buyer but I'll love this stuff 'til the day I die.

This hobby is distracting to me.
I worked for the Movie Theaters , Kenner , and SFX on Indie Film.
I'm burned out. Really.
Plus I've done this for 40 years , I think maybe I'll try the guitar for the next 40.
Most of my old time guys buddies used to do a lot of Art too. Early 1980s didnt have a Hot Topic. We had to make our own props posters etc. It was great. Now most fans I know are just consumers.

I really came on board originally to learn about head shrinking. Even my teachers at "Savini High" couldnt explain it and Kenner was as tight as Fort Knox and I never did learn about how to do that on here .

I dont want to grow up neccesarily but I do want to grow.

I'm finished.

You're never too old. Look at Bob Burns and the late Forry Ackerman.
Only when you start taking other people's views on it into consideration, then you're in trouble.
If someone says "oooh, you collect...toys", in a disapproving tone, and you let it get to you, then insecurity will make you stop collecting.

My wife never had toys as a kid. Now she collects teddy bears, at the age of 55.
I wholeheartedly approve.

This said. Once my wife retires, we would like to roam the globe, and dragging a truckload of toys behind me won't work. So I might end up selling most of them eventually, even though I'd still love toys in general.....
