that is some serious will power Nacho...though it sure will be a lot of fun for him getting all that goodness at once and not knowing the pain dealing with Matty...lucky SOB
Funny thing is, my daughter (who is younger) is really more into action figures than my son. I get all the she-ra related ones for her, but she may well end up with more of them.
[Forgive the rant, this is one of my hot-button topics] Toy collecting is nigh-impossible for a kid these days. They can't possibly get an allowance that would let them get anything but a small fraction of a particular line. Then by the time they save up for something (read: three weeks) it's already out of stores and replaced by the next wave or another line altogether. A kid who saves up or patiently waits until a gift-giving occasion is destined to have a collection of nothing but peg-warmers.
When we were kids, if I wanted to buy a Joe, TF, MOTU figure... I had a window of opportunity of at least a year or two worth of birthdays, x-mas', and allowances to get something I really wanted. Now it's a week or two for the more popular items, if they ever hit retail at all. Our kids are growing up amidst a flood of great toys, most of which they'll never see in stores or afford. As a kid who collected a lot of toys in the 80's, this makes me particularly sad.
Thus I buy a crapload of toys in most of the lines I loved as a kid, and just stockpile them. If it turns out that neither of my kids likes a particular line, I'll just hang onto the stash long enough that they become rare and them sell them MOC. If my kids do like them, I'll cover them up at every occasion, spoil them rotten, and never have to worry about shopping for x-mas and birthdays for about a decade
Either way, I can't see much downside except how much I tend to spend these days. But my kids only get one childhood. While I recognize that there are more important things in the world than plastic play things, I don't want their toy-joy to be stunted by shortpacked this, and online-only that.
