I'm considering moving, so I've been thinking about what to do with my stuff. Several years ago, my parents had a storage garage. They put my mom's Christmas ornaments in there (a shitload of them, a lot of them from her mother and grandmother), along with a friend's boat, and a bunch of other stuff. A couple of years ago, the industrial park it was in burned down. It sucked.
So, today, I just realized that all of my GI Joe toys--which included most of the action figures that the first several seasons of the cartoon was based on (and by "most," I mean all but Stormshadow), a shitload of the guys from later series, and a metric fuckton of vehicles (including the hovercraft)--was also in the storage garage.
It's worth mentioning that my OCD tendencies extend back into childhood: all of these vehicles and guys still had all of the equipment they came with. Maybe one or two of the vehicles were broken in some minor fashion, but most were still in excellent--if very played-with--condition.
I almost cried.

I even had the Sergeant Slaughter figure you had to send in a bunch of UPCs from the back of other figures to get.
but really, if you had those toys right now, would you feel a lot better?
in actuality it was just a limited edition one they made for that specific purpose and every one got the same one
but you got custom boxart with the name you chose and stuff
Way, way better.
I remember this
it's only $10
i'm planning my next amp projects

yeah but like, what would you do with them? Actually play with them? Or just be like, "man, it is awesome that I have these"
what I am getting at: materialism

I haven't listened to the demos yet, but one of the songs is called "Big Titted Sluts" so uhhh we'll see what happens.

I was trying to make a broader point about the difference between nostalgia and actual happiness

And...?
was me and four of my friends
disassembling GI Joes by removing the single screw in their backs
and making custom joes
that was so much fun.
I still had all of the weapons to all of my GI Joes.
Not to mention the fact that I don't have the rest of the set to go with it.
hey whatever floats your boat, dude
I like to not let my toys being lost get me down
I don't think I've ever even seen the show
movie was pretty good
duke lived because optimus prime died, true story
the movie was supposed to feature duke dying, by serpentor throwing a snake through his heart
however earlier that year the transformers movie came out and prime was killed in it and it upset so many fans and parents and stuff so they changed it so that duke went into a coma using dialogue spoken by a character off screen
and then at the end of the movie they were like "we just got a message from HQ, Duke's gonna be okay!"
except duke didn't appear for the entire season of GI Joe after the movie because those episodes had already been animated and so far as was decided at the time Duke was dead
:x
