Gotta agree with you there. I tend to be the one excited at the toy store while my kids are either overwhelmed or indifferent. The products that cater to my nostalgia always get my attention and the Masterpiece line is the apex of that idea. Takara knows this to be true and thus begat the assault on our wallets via the onslaught of this year's MPs.
Whether motivated by 3P offerings or not, one thing is certain: HasTak has got me by my plastic crack-collecting short and curlies.
