[QUOTE="tobeshadow, post: 493033, member: 10643"] Everyone is different and we all have unique and intensely personal connections to this line. Even the tiniest things that might seem irrelevant to most people can be so very important. For me, these toys are far more than just plastic representations of a 30+ year old trilogy that I happen to like collecting and I don't collect out of misplaced obligation or stubborn will. To badly paraphrase Mad Men, these toys are a time machine, they let us travel back and forward and back again, if only for fleeting moments, to a place we yearn to go again. This journey has to be genuine and untainted, meaning simple things like the adhesive holding an original plastic bubble down, that was once nothing more than a function becomes the very fabric of the collecting experience. People will try to fake anything, but you just can't fake true nostalgia. [/QUOTE]
