And I just kind of shrugged him off and left the store. I have no idea why he tried to deter me from buying my transformer

Funny thing is that sometimes people make distinctions. A friend berated me for playing Pokemon and getting some figures (like MLP and Sentai), but yet admires Kamen Rider and SH Figuarts. I told him how hypocritical he was since he watches Kamen Rider and he said it was more mature and for adults or something. Yeah, an adult series has giant toy-like belts.

Another guy online told me about how his friend distinguishes between 2D and 3D animated movies. The CGI ones like How to Train Your Dragon are "mature" while the 2D ones like Princess and the Frog are "for kids" and this is how he justifies watching what he watches.

I was buying a 6inch Mumm-Ra when the woman in front of us was all "OMG! it's Mumm-Ra, he looks great! And he's on clearance too? OMG honey you need to check this out!" "Do you collect Thundercats toys? Do you have Lion-O too? I buy*can't remember the line*"
This went on for 10 minutes, thankfully nobody else was on line.

It was odd.

I'd actually really appreciate such company. It's always fun to see enthusiastic people.
