C.S. Lewis wrote:Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

When I started toy collecting 10 years ago, I was pretty embarrassed when I bought the toys. Now I'm 40 and I just don't give a single fok. No matter if I carry robots OR dolls.

I've got the SDCC set (along with Sludge) and their colorful counterparts (sans-Grimlock).
I walled into walmart and EVERY SINGLE TAG had a sticker on it that said *SOLD OUT* I asked Walmart's new Toy Manager, "What happened?" & supposedly they can't order any more Transformers sans Rescue Bots, because Hasbro needs to make more or open orders back up. Then she continued to say Walmart was telling her that Transformers 5 is the best selling toy in the figure isles in 10 years. With movie 1 being thr last one to best it, funny enough.
anyways this doesn't mean there are no toys in America left just thar ar least OUR Walmart can't order any Titans Return, One steps and certainly no movie toys at all! First time I ever seen that IML (tags having sold out stamped on them)

I don't get it so much in actual toy shops for some reason but at car boot sales I do. Cos some of the parents act like I'm trying to grab all the cool cheap TFs for myself. One started talking to me friendly at one point and then looked at the figure I had in hand and said "oh, are you buying that for your child?" and i replied "my inner child, yes" and she got a bit snarky.
