Very true. I have to remind myself that it's okay that there are so many terrible toys out there. The influx of crap sometimes makes it seem that there are fewer and fewer quality toys. But the reality is that there are just way more toys in general (at least way more that we're easily exposed to). I was reminded of this when looking at the Target Earth Mecha Gorilla - I think it's terrible, a rip off, and there's no point to it. But I don't have to buy it, and if someone else thinks it's an acceptable "stand-in" for the unobtainable Mecha Jyu then I guess it will have served a purpose.

Conversely, after all this time, I am still brought down by needless negativism (and I'm not talking about constructive criticism here), collector-politics and faction mentality. People seem to forget these are toys we gather to discuss and that we have much more in common than we dont. Lets remember that its supposed to be fun to collect, learn, discourse, agree and disagree - preferably in a mutually respectful and light-hearted manner - about toys
I just want to be the first to apologize if my writing came off crassly, I'm still trying to get the hang of writing in the manner that I speak... Sarcasm doesn't come off that way on the internet, we all just end up sounding like jerks, and I'm normally pretty sarcastic.

For the record, I think you (Andy) and I are both right, I don't think everyone's personality can be explained away in a 3 minute paragraph, I do however think that 75% of the world could. There are always exceptions to the rule, and that's why there are still scientists, and psychologists trying to map the human brain, and condition. I mentioned liking Akum6n's blog, but I also follow your blog quite often Andy, and I think you provide an amazing service for those of us that are stuck in the U.S.A. during wonderfest or Thrashouts events. In saying that I realize that you are a lot closer to the Sofubi market, than I am.

I hope you haven't been personally offended, but since I don't believe in god, or divine providence, I have to believe in something. I think that science can explain a lot about humans, and our habits, whether we like it or not.
