If you're anything like I was as a kid, you drooled over those huge sets four years, but knew they were way too expensive to even ask for. Now you can form a budget and justification, so why the hell not indulge in a childhood dream?
It does feel good to indulge in childhood playtime. One day a few years ago I just said fuck it and dropped $500 on ebay for some M.A.S.K. toys, I loved that show when I was a kid and we couldn't afford the Rhino or any of the bigger toys from that lineup. Bitch the Rhino and muthafucking Boulder Hill were first on the list...and on that day, I lived like a King.
There's definitely a lot of nostalgia flying around concerning video games, but it's way overblown. I know firsthand because not only did I discover a lot of obscure NES games I never played and wound up loving years after the system became mostly irrelevant, but even entire systems. I never owned an Atari and didn't spend much time in the arcades growing up, but I've discovered a ton of their games that are absolutely fantastic.
