Yes, I enjoyed toys because I believe people with love for life will still love childish things. I always play with my son with his transformers at home to enjoy ourselves.

I liked the toy cars and transformers when I was a kid because of the cartoons. But since my parents were not very rich then, after I asked them to buy me a transformer for many times, finally they agreed.

No, after my cousin was born when I was about 15, I gave all my toys to him in a large tub.

The main factor why people like to keep things from the past is that they can remember things years later. Nostalgia is important for a lot of people who are afraid of forgetting the time that has passed by, and also they are probably in a habit of not throwing away anything.

I believe the kind of toys children like most today derives from what kind of cartoons children have watched on TV. So I believe the cartoon figures like the Lightning, Bumblebee and the Angry Bird are among the most popular toys.

I already have a boy, 4-year-old. I always buy him the car toys and transformers as gifts. He really likes them.

Yes, I feel that most toys have only been played for just one year, and they are almost intact, so it is really a waste of money to throw them away. I always send my son’s toys to my friends’ babies to reuse them.
