It’s great to see children finally have the means to determine once and for all who would win in a fight between John A. Macdonald and Snake Eyes.
Gun play.
“It’s fascinating to see how Japan’s incredibly strict gun laws have given rise to an industry specializing in ultra-realistic simulacra of weaponry.”
On collecting.
“When we consume and dispose of everything, we throw a little of ourselves away as well; sometimes for the silly reason of simply wanting the newest or the biggest or the nicest something. Collecting old stuff helps me keep some perspective on the past and the way things use to be.”
Toy fad du jour: Bakugan.
“The collecting and battling game, designed for 6- to 11-year-olds, is a creative cross between marbles, Transformers and Pokemon. Across the country stores sell out of the toys as fast as they can get them in – often within the hour. … Recently a $4.99 Bakugan ball sold for $325 on eBay.”
