So Mattel just announced a program to take your old Mattel toys back for recycling. Ideally, they'll be able to recycle the plastic and metals into new toys, or at the very least, turn those materials into energy (I assume by burning them...hopefully in an eco-friendly manner). The point, of course, is to recycle/reuse, lessoning fossil fuel consumption and the associated greenhouse gasses produced, and keep this shit out of landfills. But the nerds...oh, the nerds! So far, it's caused these oblivious comments, but I expect more to come:
Mr_Scary92 - 2021-05-12 @ 2:39 am That is another aspect that puzzles me, does Mattel intend that people give back their toys without receiving anything in return?. Roadpigmaster - 2021-05-12 @ 2:34 am Ok everybody, start giving back to Mattel all your MOTU, Justice league, etc... figures for recycle... ?? Mr_Scary92 - 2021-05-12 @ 1:05 am And would this ultimately have an effect on the toys price?. It just goes to show how truly out of touch many toy collectors have become. They apparently don't realize that regular folks have kids who play with their toys until they're broken or they outgrow them, and then have to throw them away (or donate them if they're still in decent condition). Seriously, their first thoughts are of retail cost and resale value. https://toynewsi.com/241-39028 Also, here's another good one: mako - 2021-05-12 @ 3:24 am Wait. So Mattel wants consumers to buy their stuff, give it back to Mattel so they can make more stuff, then they want us to buy the stuff again!?! Only the company that created MattyCollector could come up with something like this. |

Yeah these are the sort of guys who are against recycling because its "liberal" (yes there's people who think that). They fail to realize that this is for beat up children's toys not collectible action figures. I'm no longer surprised sadly. This year has taught me just how stupid, uneducated, and selfish many collectors are.
