[QUOTE="Nita Nitro, post: 531385, member: 7495"] Most of my reasons have been stated by other folk already but I guess I can add that I never stopped collecting the toys, just slowed down when they were no longer in shop shelves in the 80’s and had to rely on collector shops in Glasgow in the 90’s to find any stuff for sale. I go through peaks and troughs if activity and I am not a high end collector, by any means, but the enjoyment that is gotten from holding and looking at the toys never seems to diminish. There’s an especially strong connection to the past when I hold my original childhood toys, which I’m fortunate to have most of to this day. Still need a couple of figures to complete the original run, but I can wait until I get rich or prices come down as I don’t think I’d enjoy spending hundreds for a Yak Face, especially as I have no emotional connection to the figure because I never saw/held/played with one as a child :) [/QUOTE]
