Are there any NEW toys out there that you feel withstand the test of time? What about toys you had as a kid? Any of those still give you the warm fuzzy feelings when you look at them?
When I talk about toys withstanding the test of time, I’m talking not only about the durability of the toy, but also its subject matter, and possibly its style. As with cars, clothing, shoes, houses, and pretty much anything, there’s a certain “style” relevant to the time period. Some things fade out of style, but might come back later. I suppose this is the case with toys as well.
