>>5674466>can't have em' now because lazy parents expect the government to do their job for themThis has nothing to do with why Micro Machines aren't popular anymore. Lots of toys come with smaller objects all the time. The restrictions mostly come from toys made for ages 3 and under.
And like i said, you just had more selection back in the 80s and 90s. The toys aren't anymore quality though... and are actually less.
>>5674457I sorta agree, but i think it's because it's harder to find those cool gimmicky shit in stores now. Almost all the cool shit now is found on thinkgeek and other online stores.
Of course, most of us look down on them, same way most of us looked down on Tim's toys back in the day.
They're gimmicky trinkets.
Without a doubt, some oldfag will be reviewing lootcrates 50 years from now and kids from then will be looking be saying how cool shit used to be back in the day.
>I wish I could have seen the world before the internet magnified human neuroticism by three thousand degreesMan, even back in the mid-00s i could only find stuff at conventions that i never heard about online. Nowadays even foreign websites are google-translated to make hard to find toys easier to get.
