I know that the hobby is niche and the parts only get older as time goes on, but it still feels strange to see these issues so commonplace so soon. I wonder what Bionicle parts will look like in another ten years. Will every single socket be broken? Will every Kopaka and Takanuva be piss yellow? Will it be utterly impossible to purchase any G1 parts that aren't prechewed because the mega-autists bought up all the good ones? I love this hobby but man, does it suck watching the degredation happen in real time.
