Surprises and Collecting

[UltraMarginal]

I do remember the good old days as a kid when I'd walk into a store and suddenly the new TFs were on sale and I had no about any of them.

The closest I've come lately was when I saw RID Sawback on the shelf. Hadn't been paying any attention to the Minicons and though the little Wolf looked great.

What I do though is never watch any of those video reviews where people show the transformation of a figure. That's something I'm happy to wait and see in person.

pretty much this for me.

though I had a good trip home from Baseball on the weekend, I stopped at a couple Big W's a Kmart and Toymate and they all had stuff on sale or clearance that I had been looking at getting so I enjoyyed the thrill of the hunt that day a lot.

Thrill of the hunt does it for me, weather looking in store or online.

I remember the awesome feeling as a kid when my father would come back from a work trip with a Transformer. I remember getting G1 Tantrum well before it was released here.

As an adult there are less and less surprises in life and I mostly like it that way, it makes the few surprises really special.

So to answer your question mate, no I wouldn't pull back collecting for that feeling. Instead of receiving the surprise I now give the surprises to my son. That itself is far better.
