I'm 21 and I just bought 2 Transformers.

I just can't help it. I don't know what it is, but its just such a huge part of my past that I can't break away from. Lego's too.

The wave of nostalgia just hits me and it feels better then any drug I've ever taken. It's a fantastic rush. I know this sounds insane, but try it some time. Go out and buy a TMNT action figure or a G.I. Joe. or hell a Barbie if you're a girl.

It's like free falling through Nirvana. I can't even describe it. It just feels... right.

Nothing wrong with that.

I'm 32 and almost shelled out $ 200.00 for a mint-condition Kenner Toys AT-AT walker via eBay last year.

Its sort of like how we just want to hold on to something in our past that just meant so much to us and gave us such joy as children or when we were younger.

It's kind of how like older generations go out of their way to find some of their old parts of their past in Ebay and in life. Like an old Hot Wheels car, or the All Mighty Mint condition Barbie doll.

I'm just glad that when I'm older, you can damn well guarantee I'll be playing some of my old favorite video games. Probably within a small wireless chip inserted into my brain. Here's hoping I live that long...

Owned. :D

What can I say, I'm a sucker for the classics. Gunstar Heroes is probably one of my favorite shooters of all time, right on top of Contra for me.

Well what about you ladies and gentlemen, what are some of your favorite old toys?

childish?

GunStar Heroes was my favourite game on the Sega Genesis, it consumed my childhood xD

I T.O.T.A.L.L.Y. understand your feeling! I too am haunted by a sempiternal, warm feeling of nostalgia. When I think of the toys, the cartoons, the movies of my youth (80's), it feels so right, like you said yourself.

No really, there's nothing to be ashamed of! When you buy Transformers, Lego or other toys, you don't hurt anybody.

pics? who'd you get?

your 21 and you bought 2? .. .Im 24. Can I haz one plz?! *big asking nicely eyes with a lil bit of a quiver to her lip* ... Oh and im serious too, i want one. I have 3 of the dino ones... xhellcatx

me too!!! :D

I think its really strange to hang on to the past like that, I always look to the future, like college and videogames of the next generation :P The past is gone, and unless your life really sucks in the present, whats the point in looking back?

It's called Materialism. Currently 99.9% of all Americans suffer from this drug addiction. I'd be concerned for your soul if I was you.RainandSunshine

Wow, did you come to this board to troll? Honestly, 80% of the posts of yours that I've seen have been about materialism.

Anyway, back on topic, that's awesome man! I know what you mean there. You get a feeling that you just can't describe! My friend used to play with Legos a lot as a kid, and he recently was fiddling around with an old set that he had and told me, "Wow, I forgot how fun these were!" He proceeded to go out and buy some more, newer sets. :P So I say if it's something you like, go for it! Don't let what other stuck-up people think stop you.
