bought a box of action force/gi joe figs which arrived a couple of days ago. only really bought it for some Enemy figs i wanted to customize and planned to sell or swap the rest on but made the mistake of showing them to my son whos 5. to avoid a temper tantrum i let him pick a couple of figs thinking he would go for the joe or cobras but he went for all the older figs (had to pull some crafty moves to get the only shadow off him). his fav was the orange diver. just went to check on him and found the crafty young pup had snuck out of bed raided his toy box and had them all lined up beside his bed with Baron Ironblood lying beside him on his pillow. the next generation of fans has arrived

Not such a bad thing really, mind you, she does like her machine gun

i dunno what it is but kids just dont have the attention span. i remember playing for hours with diff toys at diff times but my kids seem to be into a different thing every week. ben 10, star wars, transformers, pokemon. bought a load of justice league toys for my brat last year a few months before christmas but when we did santas list all he wanted was ben 10. a mad rush and a fortune spent on ebay sorted it but it cost me a fortune-twice.

define kids ?
I still had toys when I was 15, then I discovered "other" things.
however when I got to about 25 and produced offspring, I rediscovered toys and became a kid again !
spooky ?

I haven`t grown up yet

My mum still buys me toys, she`s had her briefing and keeps an eye out at the charity shop
