My On/Off Desire To Collect Them Super Sentai Toys!

Well it's time for some nostalgia and yes, I am feeling old (I am after all, thirty years old) but not any wiser or am I feeling wiser? So I did learn some things about what not to do (thanks to some critics), I would also want to take a bit of flashback. Now it's time for a bit of a flashback or a huge flashback, depending on how much my mind allows me to remember and pour out.. here goes nothing...

I always thought of the time that I envied others for the toys they had. I remembered the time I envied somebody having a toy Dino Megazord and I didn't really have any expensive toys and I was just some foolish kid trying to fit in. As much as I watched some available Super Sentai, Power Rangers or Kamen Rider on broadcast I was more into reading books than comics, I did have a few toys, I remembered playing the Zyuranger game on the Family Computer thinking it was Power Rangers, later I would play other Power Rangers games on the Playstation... but I always had my desire to actually get some Super Sentai toys!

After I hit thirteen years old and the last set of toys I had were Dragon Ball Z toys, I secretly still wanted to get at least one or two. So I decided I can watch Super Sentai or any Tokusatsu, be a casual fan and not buy any toys. Later at fifteen, I always thought about the time I discovered more about Super Sentai whether it was more of the pre-Zyuranger era or the post-Jetman era, I soon thought that I still wanted to get at least a few of the toys for the sake of displaying them.


Watching Akibaranger made me want to get those toys after I saw the toys that were on display. I may be nowhere near Nobuo Akagi and Gai Ikari in the fandom but it doesn't mean I wouldn't watch some Tokusatsu in general. Watching that show, it made me think I wanted to get not just one or two but ALL the Super Sentai toys with my own money. Later I thought I'd just drop it but then, I find myself still wanting to get at least one or two Super Sentai toys then I would drop the thought again.
