My thanks for the clarification. A...@ Intruder_W <br /><br />My thanks for the clarification. As a toy collector myself it's been frustrating to see so many thrifts just give up carrying action figures.<br /><br />To this day I remember the thrill I felt when I saw a pristine 1979 Kenner Alien figure sitting on the shelf at the Goodwill store back in 2008. I was almost shaking as I paid the 99 cents, plus tax, on the pricetag. It's sad that kind of thrift-store hunting is a thing of the past.Propnomiconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073463298965255652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423050459919800481.post-54032642411803894572010-04-24T14:55:49.197-07:002010-04-24T14:55:49.197-07:00That is a great piece, but I've got to respond...That is a great piece, but I've got to respond to your addendum. <br /><br />I'm a toy collector, so clarifying CPSIA regulations has become a side-job. Thrift and resale shops aren't required to test old toys for lead, as the regulation is supposed to apply to manufacturers and importers. <br /><br />Thanks to regulatory legaleese, they're still required not to sell toys with a high lead content, but aren't held responsible for testing them. Sadly, most respond by junking them "to stay safe". I'm not sure how lead leaching from landfills is an improvement.<br /><br />Snopes has a nice <a href="http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/pending/cpsia.asp" rel="nofollow">article</a> about it.Intruder_Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322242036586961094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423050459919800481.post-5077274275236320442010-04-24T11:11:28.236-07:002010-04-24T11:11:28.236-07:00A big hit !.....as it was 10 years ago.
