Trigger Mike Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I went to buy a Fort Apache for my sons and since it is no longer made paid several dollars for bits and pieces. Newer made soldiers break at teh drop at the hat, when compared with old ones. I just found on ebay a western town with GREAT pieces to it from the 60s or 70s. They want 236 and I know it did not cost that back then. Why don't they make good toys like this anymore? http://cgi.ebay.com/MARX-WESTERN-SALOON-SIDE-TOWN-PLAYSET-TWO-BUCKBOARDS_W0QQitemZ190520116433QQcategoryZ727QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m1374QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DPI%26its%3DC%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8334584017615574769 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Where have YOU been, Mike? The whole culture of the country has changed from the 1950s and the 1960s. Children are taught new values. The culture of violence is discouraged. The culture of kumbaya is here. Toys reflect the culture of the times. Probably a thesis could be written and perhaps has been, concerning the social pattern of children's toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
