Well I've got a bunch of vehicles I'm giving to my nephew that are just taking up space here and I don't want to sell em so I figure he can get some play out of them [Mainly my Iron Grenaiders Vehicles,and Gi Joe APC and I may give him my Battleforce 2000 Vehicles too]
Anyone else do that? It feels good to give something like that to a younger generation so they can find out how cool the vintage stuff so when they get a hold of the ROC stuff they'll chunk that stuff and go right for the good stuff. |

I grew up playing with the joes [and being the terror I was with toys smashing them to bits and pieces torturing them by pulling their bodies apart]
My brother I played with his toys when I was little so I feel it's a good thing to just give toys like that to my nephew plus my brother wants the APC I got anyway cause it's in a better condition than his old one. But it will clear me at least a shelf worth of space... |

I buy the new ones for my kids, so decided I might as well take my old ones out of storage for them to play with as well. They like to see that daddy played with cool toys too.
Although, I am a bit more protective of the originals and have talked to them about playing rough with them... |

My son is really into Legos, so I gave him those, and gave all my old joes to my ex's kids, and still do since I gotta work with her LOL
But I let them go through the bucket of weapons and they get really excited to pick & choose.

Don't have any kids, but I do give some to my nephew and others to a friend of mine whose Joe collection is in it's infancy.

My son is only 10 months old right now, but I plan on giving him my vintage collection plus all the 25th / ROC stuff I'm picking up right now. I hope he gets as much enjoyment out it as I did. Once he's old enough I'll start him on the cartoons and comics to build his interest.
