Would you stockpile Joes for your kid?

Stockpiling?
No. If they want to play with my collection, that's cool. Not with the rare expensive stuff. If they really want those, I'll just make a custom version.
If they show a lot of interest, I might buy a MOC figure just to let them experience the special feeling we all had as a kid when we got a new joe from the store.

Joes are my thing, I doubt my kids would find them as cool as I do.

They deserve a chance to find something they like as much as I like Joes.

I've been lucky. Two boys. I just gave the oldest the Eaglehawk as a reward for finishing Camp. He said it was the best. They both LOVE vehicles.
Started them with Thomas trains to get them into a franchise with characters (MOTU was my first poison).
They love toys AND the iPad, and use them in balance (for those who lament the lost imaginations of our descendants).
I have personally only stockpiled Skystrikers and Eaglehawks. I consider it a twofer. Giving my boys great vehicles and incentivizing Hasbro to do the right thing.
But, I HAVE also considered stockpiling large Star Wars vehicles for my boys, even though I don't collect SW lines.
Finally, Macross, I've been reading your posts for years, and you always seem to do the right thing (IMO).

Just wanted to chime in to say that I read this and appreciate the thought. I sometimes think the main thing I leave behind is a record of my obnoxiousness on the internet LOL...

Course it's nothing compared to Kilcarrs.... :shifty:
