Toyfare's presence helped encourage the idea that toy-collecting was an acceptable adult hobby for me. while every other thing like Tomart and Beckett existed, Toyfare was the one having fun and making fun. I was kind of devastated that Wizard decided to be an online thing, because nothing online sticks out like a magazine in the magazine section does. I even collected Anime Insider because of those damn word balloons they'd throw in.
However, as time went on, and discovering /toy/, the magazine stopped being useful to me. jokes got stale, news got old, articles got kind of boring...but i still keep my old issues in a box under my bed, and got the last one before it was gone for good.
>>5895383im pretty sure the last issue was this one.
