A thought that just occured to me...
When you are old and gray, where will the toys and figures you love right now be? Will you pass them on to your kids? Will they be in a box hidden away in the basement/attic? Will you have sold them long ago? What is the ultimate fate of these toys we are currently spending so much time and money on?

im guessing the trash. I have family that can barely keep their own shit let alone my shit. I don't think i'll have a family and if I do I doubt the collection will make it. so its either sold, given away or trashed. I rather it be one of the first two choices but id love to be an old dude with the toys that have made me happy for so long. but if that happens its a sad ending for them.

I think that when I am old and greyest I will treasure the Joes all the more. My boys will be out of the house and forming their own homes and families. There will be greater nostalgia for the plastic toys from my youth. I hope that I will also have more time to reminisce and replay those great battles between Joe vs Cobra from a time long ago. The plastic figures and vehicles are in the scheme of life not much, but the memories and emotions that they represent are without doubt, priceless.

One can only assume it will be fought over by alleged loved ones like every other thing of value when you pass. That or the trash.

I plan on pretending to be senile at some point in my retirement. So I will have plenty of time to once again actually play with my collection.lol

My collection will be melted down and used to make a plastic coffin in which I will be buried in.
