Ok guys... so a few years back I started to show my kids all those lovely classic cartoons from the 80's since then I have brought them 25th and modern era joes! mostly loose figures etc.
Recently I have been getting them vintage vehicles as well!!
But what I would like to ask? Is it wrong? I am in 2 minds as a collector i feel bad knowing that somebody else may have wanted that figure or whatever and now my kids are playing them on the floor loosing guns and parts and wearing out the joints and paint apps. etc!!
Altho I justify this in my mind by thinking along the lines of... I would go for the best value complete vehicles probably not something an avid collector would want and also I mean damn why would I deny my kids the pleasure of enjoying something that has so so much to offer??
Thoughts?

NO!!! you're awesome!! i do this with my boys. they prefer vintage to new cartoons and toys. my boys have display cabinets and search with me to find their "new" toys
TOYS ARE TOYS and are meant to be played with!!
