Current Events > My biggest first world problem regret

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is not taking better care of my toys as a kid. Like, not only were they really cool, but you can't find them anywhere for less than 90$ dollars. I could've made bank.

It doesn't help people in the third world to pre-emptively trivialize your own concerns by calling them first world problems.

It's weird that that's what you draw from this.

Power Rangers, mostly the Zords, and Transformers, mostly Beast Wars. And that one Aliens ship that they put hella money into designing, but then the cartoon never came out so no one will ever know what the fuck I'm talking about. I realize now that zords got fuckin' weird later on, but I still miss em. And the season 2 metallic Transformers, holy shit. Megatron was possibly the coolest toy ever.

I still have the Pyramid Zord and Serpentera, at least.

I got him from my aunt, cause she married into money and my resulting cousin would get basically any toy he ever wanted, and recommended them to me.

Most I got from my grandmother, who pretended to buy things for me to get me to do things I didn't wanna do, but basically spent what little spare income she had to buy me gigantic power rangers things. I had no concept at the time, so I didn't question it.

If I miss my abuela I will watch like half the first season on Netflix. It's all on Netflix, last I checked.

You cannot underestimate how fucking huge Serpentera was, even in toy form. Not my pic, but look at the TigerZord for scale:



I pretended to ride this motherfucker when I was little. I would've sat on it if the spines didn't hurt my taint.

This motherfucker was even bigger. Bigger than any other Zord ever, I think. Which he had to be, Cause he had to be able to fit all the zords in or on him.

I had Fireball Island.
And Hero Quest.

I barely remember that even looking it up, but goddamn, production value.
