[QUOTE="Twin30mm, post: 452646, member: 5949"] Above all, it's the nostalgia trip. These lumps of plastic are physical links to our childhoods and those happy, carefree times. The thrill of the chase. Bagging that elusive bargain on Ebay. You can't beat it. Finding an unexpected vintage item, out in the wild. It's a rare occurence, but it's a great feeling when it happens. Last year, I stumbled upon a small stack of vintage ROTJ comics in a backstreet bookstore. Two of the comics contained the original free gifts, which I'd been after for ages. Fist pumps all round :D Also, I love the restoration side of the hobby. It has it's controversial side, but restoring these old toys back to their former glory is very rewarding. [/QUOTE]
