After a lot of thought, I have decided to stop buying new toys. It is a decision that makes me simultaneously happy and sad.
I will miss the excitement of twisting the capsule toy knob and the thrill of the claw machine hunt. But, I am growing increasingly concerned about the damage these pursuits do to the planet. Particularly the plastic bits.
So, I will continue to collect toys by buying second-hand, but nothing new. I already have noticed that I appreciate my collection more because it is now very finite.
I am trying not to think about all the Futurama figures I want (thank goodness I already have a Bender!), the dunny's I will never open and the Japanese toys I don't even know about yet.
My plan is to keep the blog going with posts about toys in my collection I haven't talked about yet, and add new content as I discover new, old treasures at garage sales, antique stores, and Goodwills.
Wish me luck.
