How OLD are you?

[Yongeltron]

Just wondering what the age distribution of the Ozformers crowd is. Don't be Shy!

nevermind

For people under 16, it is recommended not to publicise your age... as I don't want anyone targeting the youngsters here privately.

You are welcome to vote anonymously in the poll, but keep in mind that most of the people viewing this site are adults, including non-members who could be prowling toy sites for kids who are easy to contact.

Maybe don't publicise your skype info either.;)

That said, it's pretty cool (IMO) that we've got people here who dig the original Transformers, even without having grown up with them like us older types. It's easy to be fond of stuff from your childhood, but to appreciate works from 20-odd years before you were born - that's something else.

Did you have to emphasise the word 'old' in the title though? :P

If you are wondering how old everyone is - we already did a pretty comprehensive survey here:

If ya genuinely interested in knowing this stuff - just do a search :)

It's okay to have "temporal" topics and polls to be done again after a year or two, to see the changes of our demographic over time.
Since that last poll was 18 months ago (and was last active 18 months ago), it is better to start a new topic than re-awaken that one now that many people would now be in another year-group.

It's the same with those collection counts... as they change over time, so old polls are no longer accurate.

Errrr... wasn't saying it wasn't. He just seemed to be interested in particular info and was telling him a good place to find it. Didn't say squat about doing a new survey being a bad idea. Was just trying to be helpful

Might have one, but they might have trouble connecting their typrwriter to the internet.:D

On the topic of young ppl enjoying G1 figs, I was surprised to meet an American kid (through the crazy ways the internet works) who is totally into enjoying the G1s as well as the new figures. Really restored my faith in the younger generation.

Now where's my walking frame gone?

I'm upgrading to the motorized scooter myself :p

There seems to be a generational thing happen that has a lot of kids of a particular generation picking up on things that their parents liked in their childhood, because their kids then grew up with it all around them (kinda like brainwashing). So kids of Transformers fans (or 80s toys) are more likely to pick up an interest in them because it is already in their lives. Like, a lot of people in my generation (80s kids) have an affinity with 60s music icons because we grew up with our parents who grew up in the 60s, often listening to them in their adult years while we were kids 20 years later.

Just about 16 myself. :) For relevance in the near future I'll go with that.

[Handsprime]

I'm turning 20 tomorrow, so my option is still correct for another year :)

I wish could reach that age so I can buy MP-400 which is hopefully Megatron v2 :D

^ this! I was just thinking how great it would be if someone here was over 100, because it means not only have they found this site, but they have also kept their skills up to date by knowing their way around the internet and a computer. I just think that'd be awesome.
