Post Top 5 Toys Blog! - 9 Feb - Nathan Aveyard
I've started up a new blog where collectors can do a little show n tell about their favourite 5 toys on their shelves. I've invited a few people through PM to be some of the first posts on there but it's open to everybody. I'd like it to be a place that you can just scroll through during the last hour of work and keep going back to check things out like a good old toy book. The commentary on each toy is something that I wanna focus on.. How you discovered the toy, how you finally got one or stumbled across it, why you like it so much, etc.

PM or email me for image specs and bits n pieces. I've uploaded the first post - a little look at Bwana's Top 5 Toys!

Post Re: Top 5 Toys Blog!
Thanks Bwana! I'm holding out for that Thrashor.. not sure when more will become available, hopefully soon!

A couple of new updates for people to check out - trying to post at least one list per day. Should have the first Skullbrainer (of hopefully many) post up tomorrow or the next day.

PM for my email address, I'm looking to get as many lists as I can. Everybody has a story attached to their favourite toys and that's the main focus of this blog, the commentary on each piece. Even if you have a favourite piece of Lego as your number #4 pick, I wanna hear about it and I'm sure many of the readers will as well :)

http://top5toys.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/top-5-toys-adam-cop-squat-toys.html

I don't care if you have 10 toys in your collection and they were all bought from Target.. if you think they are cool and have a story to tell about them I wanna hear it and post it on the blog :) This whole project is about celebrating the joy of collecting toys and exploring the art behind them! So please get those lists to me!

I'm in a special category. The special that has olympics and all.

(Loved reading about your toys G. It will be so hard to select just 5! Hard but fun!)

It was fun taking inventory of stuff mentally and deciding my all time favorites... And pulling Optimus and Snake Eyes out of storage was fun. They haven't been on display in a long while.
