Toys&Games

It is interesting to see how each generation has it's own special toys that can define it. When he was a boy, my brother had two obsessions. He loved his Transformers toys and he loved the He-Man series. He had a lot of both of them, and he kept playing with both every day. But playing by himself was hard, so I tried to play with him. I wasn't a huge fan of either one, so I suspect that he didn't have much fun with me. I really didn't know what I was doing, and I didn't know a lot about the toys. He loved them though, and he would spend hours by himself with them on a rainy day.

It was a lot of fun for me to play with his Transformer Toys though. It was fun to watch how they work as they change from one thing to the other. They were quite interesting. The Transformer Toys that he received as gifts were the very same that we used to watch on television every week. They were mostly trucks and cars that turned into something else, though there were also other types you could buy. He knew he would not get every single one of them that he wanted because some of those transformers toys were very expensive.

A few years ago, I noticed that Transformers toys are making a comeback, but not at the point they existed when my brother was crazy about them. I don't know if they have a new cartoon or not, but there must be some way that children are getting interested if the Transformers toys are making a comeback. Once a cartoon is successful, the toys will soon follow. You are almost guaranteed success in merchandise if you can get a cartoon made that kids will love.

If you look in your attic and find some of the older Transformers toys, you may want to get them out to give to your kids. They will love the older ones, but you may still have to buy some of the newer ones that are in stores if that is something they are into. You could also sell the old Transformers toys, if you don't have children, to those who are now collecting them because they loved them as a child. There are always people out there who fondly remember something from their childhood, and they often like to find these things to bring home with them.
