I really want to buy this. I wanted this so bad when I was a kid, and ended up stepping way over a line in my quest to get it that I got banned from buying anymore Transformers

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Nowadays, kids have a large variety of toys. But did you ever thought what kind of toys have had our grandparents or parents. I remember me, when I was a kid, with only two or three toys. My favorite was a doll with blonde hair. I had a photo with it and I have shown it to my daughter, she said with a cute voice,, Mommy I also want this beautiful doll,,.I started to a thought where I can find this kind of doll, then I remember that one of my work friends said me about an amazing platform . When I opened it you won't imagine but I found an exactly doll.

This is slowly becoming my favorite thread. I also played with toy. One was green and yellow. I had 3 soldiers made with plastic. They also had plastic guns. I always think it's amazing that different kids played with different toys, but they all brought us joy and pleasure to play with the different toys.
