That was a good read and i agree with it.People refuse to spend money.Thats not helping anybody.I try to spend money every chance i get(not just on the basics).The recession will pass like it always has,we just have to wait.

good read.
do e-tailers count as toy stores 'big and small?' do Wal-Mart and Target count as toy stores? we all know TRU used to be a toy store. LOL. |

credit seems to be the biggest issue, most people live off credit these days.
and if you consider e tailers to be actual retail toy stores, then i'll place a lot of it on them for their 25% to 50% mark up on retail just to price gouge collectors.

i dont have a problem with buying toys now. i cut back cause some toy companies have not been making things i want to buy. i collected star wars heavy in 07 & slightly less in 08. i have bought maybe 3 sw items this year because i do not like most of the stuff they are releasing. i bought some of the comic packs cause i like them for the most part. things like marvel universe dont interest me since i have most of those figures in a better more detailed 6 inch scale.
its a good article but really it a toy and it costs money. i am not going to blindly support something. |

Eh, I am not going to waste money on toys I don't want just to help some retailer remain afloat. Other than the basics and a select few toy items I really want, retailers can count me out for the rest of this year. I'd rather hang onto my money and let it earn at least some interest.

I'd be all for buying Joes, if there was actually anything new or worthwhile to pick up on the shelf. That being said, I haven't bought anything new in almost two months, when I found the Tunnel Rat and Shockwave packs.
