Nope I never think that since I don't use dollars. I have thought of all the stuff I could have had if I didn't spend all these pounds.

It depends. Apart from the fact that I don't use dollars too, but euros, what do you mean by "little plastic things"? Technically speaking, smarthphones are also "little plastic things". And they are also quite expensive. smilie
If you are asking me why I spend so much money on Skylanders... Well, it's the same reason many persons spend them on movies, books, food and clothes.
They make me happy, in some way.
The true question is: have YOU?

Yes I have. I've personally had a real good reason to do so, but those reasons have been eroding away. *shrug*

Actually, I've never asked this question to myself, I love collecting them and I've never regretted spending all that money on toys.

^Win.

But for me, no, no I don't ask myself that question. I knew right away why I spent that money smilie

I have spent more money on worse things.
I enjoy them and so do my kids, we get to spend time together playing so I think it's money well spent.

Yes. Then I look at my handful of Pokémon figures and the odd pony figure that was given to me and wonder why people don't give me more convicing reasons to buy plastic toys like the Skylanders do.

Only if I regret the figure to be honest. My buyers remorse has more to do with getting the game.

Sometimes. Though usually only with a some of the characters I have in specific.

Because it is fun to get a couple minutes of fun max per new figure. (Until a new game comes out in which only your favorites and new ones get played_

No. It's quality time spent with my son. I just put away money twice a month for stuff like this (video games, xmas, etc...) The money does not mean a whole lot. I love/hate the chase for figures. It's a lot like a shirt I once saw:

"I hate being bi-polar! It's awesome!"

No . I have been collecting funny little plastic things all my life . My room is full of them .

Of course you are talking about Skylanders only so i will address that .

I think you get your money,s worth . Each figure works on multiple games , You have two skill path options to explore on the console . There is lots of mini games and quests not story related to do . If you want to squeeze your skylander to the max thats hours and hours of game play .

A young child has hours and hours of fun just playing with the figure itself outside of the game. He / She is getting more out of the figure then us AYE DOLTS who only use it for gaming.

Well the game is very good at subtly rubbing in the fact that i dont have all the toys . The variety and different options each toy displays in game just makes you want to see what the next one can do .

This plastic toy with chip in placed on a scanner is a new and interesting experience . Its different and i like different. Its quite fun playing a console game and all these toys are lined up taking up all the room on your table . You start with one or two but at the end of the gameplay there is 20 or 30 .

I would rather regret having bought the toys then regret having not bought them .
