A shocking scandal has arisen. M has an UNOPENED ARMADA TIDAL WAVE. Ralph would quite like a minty fresh one. Should M donate his clearly unwanted toy to his chum? It's Christmas! -Ralph Legacy Universe Titan Tidal Wave looks fantastic. Can't decide whether to get it (on sale of course!) or get round to opening my original.. Armada, Micron Legend or Energon? |

Fortmax is far worse than me for opening toys. I opened FIVE toys this weekend. And four of those were carded! Irrevocable blister removal! |

Pinwig is a rampant, deranged, package ripping-open MADMAN compared to this... this scoundrel. What an insidious fiend; letting poor Pins take the heat, while he laughs, gorging on his massive unholy unopened stack. Hands drenched in lover's rosey stain.

I'm on the fence here. I see both sides. So clearly. So very very clearly.

I have mentioned this once or twice. Fortmax is far worse than me for opening toys. I opened FIVE toys this weekend. And four of those were carded! Irrevocable blister removal! Pinwig. I have been a member of this forum since 2007. I have been a regular poster and dribbler on this most precious forum since that time. I have a professional occupational and professional qualifications. I am also a learned and curious individual and, I would argue in a Court of Law, have an enduring and pressing responsibility to speak. And I speak thus: You are now vindicated, Pinwig.ON BEHALF OF THE HUB, THE PURE, THE RIGHTEOUS, THE CLEAN(ISH), THE SENSIBLE, THE OPENINGETH OF TOYS- I NOW HEREBY DECLARE YOU EMANCIPATED AS THE GUILTY OF THE UNOPENING OF TOYS. YOU DO OK. YOU ARE NOT TOO BAD AT ALL. ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT BUT GENERALLY DOING SOUND. M is the real villain; the darkness within The shadows. THE UNOPENING FIEND OF STAGGERING MAGNITUDE AND MALICIOUSNESS OF FORETHOUGHT.I declare Pinwig free... and what's more: I apologise. A yearning, exhaustive apology unhindered by mitigation. You are an innocent child, shadowed by a most hideous demon. Let us all rejoice in the innocence of The Pinwig. Lay hands upon him. |

They end up at Toy-Fu that way and we potentially get a TRDQ out of it... Except he already covered Tidal Wave, so Ralph is a good second given that a lot of his culls result in Toy-Fu too. |

If he really wanted one and wasn't just about throwing up smokescreens he'd buy from the Man from the Fu.

If the toy in its box gives Gavin joy then surely it only makes sense for him to keep it and continue to gain joy from it. Other avenues exist for someone to obtain joy from getting and opening one which do not require a zero-sum calculus here. Surely in pursuit of the greatest good of the greatest number it is logical for Gavin to keep his and for Ralph to buy a different boxed one? This seems the most equitable arrangement to me.

I think the toy is saying to M "open me, open me" and has been for years causing M an undue amount of stress and worry
Multiply that up by a yet to be determined number of other toys, likewise not opened for decades.....
