Big boys toys

When I was 10 years old my poor friends in our poor neighbourhood, my poor brother and poor me used to play a poor kids game. We’d get junk mail from toy stores and K-mart and the like and instead of going down to the store and buying the latest greatest star wars toy we would take turns flicking over the page and then each of us would as quick as we could point at the toy we wanted most on the new page calling ‘Mine!’ Much cheaper than buying a Boba Fett action figure at $1.95.

Anyway, things have changed a little and while not rich I could afford to buy all the Star Wars merchandise I wanted… almost.
