Just wondering what compels you guys and girls to purchase the latest GIJoes(if you dont then you can skip this thread). It used to be "I buy because it reminds me of my childhood" est est, but NOW? Why do we buy? Personally I just love toys and enjoy playing with them and customizing them but I know I am in the minority so what is everyone elses excuse?

I buy toys to fill an emotional void in my soul, left barren by years of nomadic isolation......Just joking, I just collect action figures, and that's all there is to it.

I buy toys because I enjoy the characters they are based on.
Some of the new stuff I skip if the premise is lame. But, for me, it's about all the cool characters that make up whatever toy line I'm buying in to. |

I buy them because a lot of these newer figures are cool and can fit in easily with the 25th/ME lines. I think some of the vehicles rock too. Mainly i buy them because i want my son to have the opportunity to decide what he likes from the entire Joe universe, not just the 25th/ME...

Always loved them as kid growing up in the 80s. Unfortunately, my folks can not afford much so I only acquired a select few.
Now its just about catching up with a childhood I wished I had back then! To fill that empty void.... |

I'm Elsa and I can do whatever I want.
It's a great excuse for all of my deviant behavior. |
