I think this is really what I'm getting at. I like the large heavy sturdy
quality of the Takatoku Valks. I like the fact that such an amazing piece
of engineering -was- made for kids. It might sound goofy but I would
actually take durability (and a little too much bulk) over something that is
more fragile.

Don't get me wrong, I really do like the new Valks. I think they look great
and I really respect all the hard work the company has put into them. I'm
just a little sensitive when it comes to people dissin the toys of
yesteryear. But I'm not that worked up or anything. After all we both like
the same cartoon and -more or less- the same toys for it. We could be
arguing about....
Wheeeeeeeelled Waaaaariooors!!!
