      Yeah, this is so true. I remember when I was still in elementary when Pokemon first came out in our country, almost all of us kids wanted to have a Pikachu card..lol.. I guess nowadays, it will always be an experience of any kid to be so amazed on toys based on what is seen on the television but there are others who are already old enough are still collecting like hell. Business is business, it depends now on the parents whether they will tolerate the constant “I want this, I want that” from their children.

      Im soooo glad my son is out of the Pokemon stage. I wasted hundreds of dollars on them trading cards over five or so years, and Im still convinced he doesnt have a %^$&@!% clue how to play the trading card game.. or even if the trading card game really exists.

      The first season of Yu-Gi-Oh wasn’t all that bad; there was actually a thin plot that wasn’t about explaining the rules of the game or the cards. Oh, I had that Ace Duck figure at one time. Not sure why.

      I should point out Captain Power, which was a bit more blatant in its marketing of toys and had an interactive segment where you could shoot at the TV, which would also shoot back at you. Were it not live action, it might not have seemed so cheesy. Okay, that’s a stretch, but it would’ve been cheaper.

      There was also M.A.S.K. The toys were cool and some of the episodes were well done, but the vehicles didn’t seem nearly as cool seeing them in action of the screen.
