Know when to walk away and know when to run.

Yakface.com | Star Wars Action Figure News!: "Yak Reader Tony Wan Kenobi sent in this report from Tulare,Ca:
Hi my loving wife again scored for me at our local wal-mart and target. First at walmart yesterday she scored 47-50. She decided to go back today and she found 51-55."

The insanity above--getting your wife to go hunt Star Wars toys for you--kind of illustrates why I'm getting out of the Star Wars toys business.

When I visited over the 4th I heard my second cousin's son (young kid) talking about a Star Wars figure he wanted. The thing was, I had two. Now, I'm 27 years old. I had two of a figure a little boy wanted. Of course, right off I knew I would send him one that I had. But the thing that got to me was the fact that they'd been hunting all over for this figure and couldn't find it.

Now, obviously I didn't buy ones they would have eventually found (especially since I bought them in Florida) but still, it made me think.

I'm not going to be into the business of buying some toys some kid might enjoy more. I'm not going to 'work' to hunt these things down anymore. If I see something I think is particularly cool, I'll get it. But I'm not going to be so focused on it anymore.
