Also;

My son was big into Yugioh a couple years ago. I learned to play so that I could play with him, but also so that I could help him develop decks. I went nuts on eBay/Craigslist. That kinda took the fun out of it. I think it's more fun when you're banking on a little luck in your hunt. Still have them.

Bakugan- same.

Beyblade (metal)- I was ordering all of the good ones before they came to the US. I knew how to tell the real ones from the fakes by the packaging (the knock offs sucked). He hasn't played with them for awhile, but the 2 year old will be at "that age" soon enough.


My wife doesn't "collect" Disney pins, but she does like to pick up the cute pins that she comes across. We have season passes (no blockouts), we go quite often (we were there last week), so she gets some here and there. She has some from our visit to Disney's Aulani last year.


My 2yr old boy is absolutely nuts for anything cars. From the "real deal", to Power Wheels, to Hot Wheels. Somehow he knows my car is the "hot ride" (I've only driven him in it twice, maybe 3 times). He fights to get in the drivers seat, grab the steering wheel, and throws his head back screaming "Wow!", "Whooooa!", and "Cooooool!". He has over 100 Hot Wheels and is "obsessed" with his Hot Wheels Spin Storm track.





Zeldy, you may have been joking (?), but I kid you not, there was a real human skull in a cage for sale on one of the antiquities dealer sites. No longer though, I should have taken a screen shot.
