International Man of Mystery
What's something, or several things, that most adults would scoff at and consider childish that you'll never get rid of?
I have a substantial Star Wars action figure collection. Funny thing is, I bought 99% of them as an adult.
We were really poor when I was a kid, and I didn't get a lot of toys. My absolute favorite toy was my one and only Star Wars action figure - a stormtrooper. When I grew up and had some spare cash, they re-released the Star Wars movies and subsequently the action figure line. One day while walking through a K-Mart I saw a display and that childhood longing for toys I could never have sprung up again. I picked up a figure that day, then another the next week, and now I have about 300 or so.
That was about ten years ago, and although I have them all displayed nicely in my office, I'm pretty tired of them and they're going to get boxed up soon. I don't know if I'm going to sell them or what, but that part of my life is pretty much over.
