I can understand why one would do that, because they want to sell the thing when it's valuable. However, that's what you do with things like coins, cards, or stamps. Toys are not meant to be collectibles. In some cases, such as static figurines (Like my Death Note ones, Sheena, or Mateus) I can get that. But articulate toys? No. Not happening. |

Most of the TF community that I know of would happily take that guy that snatched the toy from the kid out to the parking lot, and bludgeon him with a Masterpiece Prime. (large heavy die cast figure) This is the kind of behavior we expect out of the Hot Wheels collectors. Mad props to guy that did right by the kid. That's how an adult should conduct himself! |

I've heard horror stories, about the Hotwheels guys. They're widely considered to be the reason that stores put anti-collector policies in place. |

Mostly restrictions on buying more than two of certain items, policies against looking in the back, if there's already product on the shelves. |

TF collectors wuill often buy three of each. One for robot mode, one for vehicle mode, and one to keep in hte package. Who they're reallt trying to stop with the are the scalpers, who will buy nearly all the available stock, and sell on ebay at inflated prices. |

[Um...honestly, why would anyone need 3? I mean, I could understand 2, one in package, one not in package, but 3 just sounds like too many to me.] (shrug) |

Obesity has hit a disturbing level: 500 pound inmate smuggled in a gun under a roll of flab. Man gets arrested, man is searched. Man is booked, and searched again. Man is transported to lockup, is searched again. Man is in shower bragging about how he got the gun past the guards. Guards strip search him, check the usual places. Guards lift flab. Find gun. |

'Thanks to advances in voicemail and call-waiting technology, you rarely hear that annoying broken tone any more. Unless, of course, you're voting for "American Idol" or listening to Pink Floyd.' Is it a sign of age if you snigger a bit at that, knowing the reference? =p |

Well, I can sorta vouch for the floppy thing, cause when I first actually heard of a thumb drive, I was like 'buh? what?' Though, since I hole myself up in my room, I don't know very much about what goes on outside it. |

End of an era. Those of us in the states have all likely seen or heard of Reading Rainbow. After 26 years, the book has been closed. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...oryId=112312561 |
