heh expensive toys I still collect...I got a few I would like to sell maybe, but the price needs to be well over 10k before I'm interested in selling. Otherwise I know in about 10 more years what I have might be well worth over 20k in value. If someone would build me a 14 x 20 greenhouse I might consider a trade

The trouble with this thinking is...in 10 years whats 20k going to spend like compared to 2014 dollars? Im thinking its a toss up.

My toys when I was a kid was dirt and sticks. Wasnt much worth saving. I do miss my Bozo The Clown bean bag target. They call it 'Cornhole' now and thats just disgusting what they did to Bozo's bean bag game. Callin it 'Cornhole' is just a reflection of the sick minds catering to children these days and we wonder why they grow up the way they do.


Just a matter of time before Ken comes complete with A script of Viagra and Barbie goes menopausal.

Well, recently I've been cleaning my living areas out, and some of the things I was selling or throwing out were some random junk and some toys.

During the clean up, I kept wanting to hang on to the Lego Bionicle toys I had. But when I counted how many within the group I had, I was missing 2 figures. I had thought that during the early phase of the cleanup, I had thrown them out in the recycling bin thinking that their canisters were empty. Frustrated, I never bothered to look in a cabinet where they might've been stored.

Upset, I tried to look for replacements only to find that they're now worth anywhere about $75 each! I never purchased new ones, and good thing too...

Sure enough, when I looked inside a cabinet trying to look for my dechlorinator, there they were in their canisters, the 2 remaining Lego Bionicle figures. I'm very glad I didn't accidentally toss them!

Now I gotta go to the nearest tropical fish aquarium and get some dechlorinators to remove any chloramines in our tap water, (needed the dechlorinator to add water for my protozoans and rotifers; I'm raising killifish). :/

At least I found some really expensive toys!
75 dollars! I shouldnt have thrown mine away then
