mostofthetime 7 years 2 months ago Posts: 218	Hi All How does everyone feel about retro toys & Toys of today? Not even Versus, but just the difference Retro Toys-The toys we had when we were younger rocked & still do rock as you can still find them on eBay & other places Yet, toys of today rock as well We, having children, etc. (I do not have any personally, but I have young cousins who I buy today's toys for) still buy today's toys The new Star Wars toys and others, one of my cousin's (who I am thinking of while writing this) is into Godzilla, and so, we buy him the Godzilla toys of today at TOYS R US and other places There may be a difference between the toys of generation to generation (and there obviously is), but I enjoy today's toys as well I was in KMART today looking for Christmas Present ideas for my cousins and I was wondering which toys of today would/will be the collector's items of the next generation when the younger generation of today will be older as well Just a little spiel Let me know everyone's opinions Thank you

System 7 years 2 months ago Posts: 74809	The thing I don't like about the toys of today is that the plastic feels cheap. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a collector and love how toys look better than they did, but the plastic doesn't feel right sometimes. I'm not talking about just US toys, imported toys feels off also. Also, I'm not too much of a fan of ball joints. But like I said, I love current toys. The sculpts are very cool and look more like works of art. Retro toys will always hold a place in my heart for the fact that they'll spark nostalgic memories.

mostofthetime 7 years 2 months ago Posts: 218	ha ha ha All good points by you 3 Another area I do not like much is children of today do not go and play outside, etc. When I was younger we rode our bikes or walked everywhere and we were never home, but now children stay home or if they do go outside, they're on a laptop or a cell phone.

No kidding. I'm all for technology, but theres a time to cut the tech cord. Time to put up barriers on the technology.

genoneguy 7 years 2 months ago Posts: 117	Personally, I think toys turned to crap around 1991 / 1992 timeframe. The toys of the 1980's will, and always will be the best toys ever made.Today, toymakers are only concerned with making toys as cheaply as possible and selling them for as much money as possible. Toy designers in the 80's actually put alot of thought and effort into their toy designs. Today, it's all about money with toy designers.
	Check out my Transformer, G.I.Joe, and 80's popular culture museum http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=376688072

sikkbones 7 years 2 months ago Posts: 1263 Globally Banned	80's toys were made better and had less lead... i noticed my sons MOTU figures (vintage type) were made in Taiwain not china.... maybe lead posioning is the price for cheaper goods from communists with a free market?
