I've run into this a lot. I didn't start collecting Joes until this last year. I didn't keep my toys when I was a kid, and I didn't take advantage of the toys that were released from 2007 on. And lets not even talk about the Kickstarters and FSS figures I missed out on because I either didn't have money or wasn't interested in collecting at the time.
But there's nothing to be done. Stewing on it doesn't help anything, and (more importantly) it was a completely rational decision at the time. All you can say is your interests change and there is nothing more to be done. |

Hate to be the one to brake it to you. Your parents told you that because they didn't have the heart to tell you they through it in the garbage.

I remember when I transitioned into collecting. The first thing I did was get rid of my childhood G.I. Joes. They were toys that had been played with. They did not display well, and honestly they looked like garbage. They ended up other collector's customs, or restoration projects. The only figure I kept was Gung-Ho v2. The Dress Blues always reminded me of my father who was a career Marine. If you had taken the time to get them they would have probably ended up clutter at best, or in storage once again at worst.
