I hear ya! Back in 1991 when I was in year 10, we went on a school excursion to the city and I broke away from the main group during lunch to go Transformer shopping. I managed to get a Classic Astrotrain with money I had from selling stuff at school (nothing illegal, just Star Wars toys and Doctor Who books which I had already read ). Because I was 16 at the time and my parents thought I should have outgrown toys when I turned 10, I had to sneak it inside the house. There was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity to buy it, regardless of what anyone thought.
