Re: The resurgence of collecting "For Men"

Well when you have a big family like i have it's kinda hard to do everything i want to do.
Like Harry we shop at Wally World alot and i'll sneak in over at the toy area every chance i get and find alot of other guys going after the Hotwheels and Nascar diecast.
But in the last year this plane collecting must of heated up because the stores here sell out as fast as they get any new planes in.
I remember a few times i had to come in early to get i waited for the store to open at 7am and there would be 5 or 6 guys all waiting to get in there first.
it turns out these sames guys have been doing this for years going right up to the Hotwheels area and buying all the new items and if their lucky they came out with a trasure hunt car and these guys were selling them off to some big shot in the Sac area i was told.
No wonder why some local area collectors got mad at that.
