The ‘agony’ of waiting for new toys
The month of July is finally here! I have been waiting patiently for the July 2010 release of LEGO Kingdoms sets for the past few months. While many fans and collectors have bought their sets as early as last weekend, I have to wait for a few days more because the regular toy shop that I patronize hasn’t received their July LEGO stocks yet. What a downer!
And so I continue to wait and with each passing day, I feel myself going ‘crazy’ from over anticipation of getting new toys. The uncomfortable feeling of wanting those toys so badly gets rather intense when I admire online photos of other fans and collectors showing off their toy conquests for the weekend. And some of them pull no stops when it comes to their most passionate toy collecting hobby - they buy multiple sets! I envy their deep pockets and toy harvests, while I still have none of them in my nets…
Sometimes I wonder why I go through this agony of waiting for new toys when I know that soon after acquiring them, they will eventually be stored away after a few days or up to a week on display. Then I will repeat the vicious cycle all over again when online and hardcopy catalogs of new toy sets are released to entice and excite fans and collectors once more. When I meet non-toy collectors, I tend to advise them not to get into a collecting hobby, because it’s really a bottomless pit that you can’t get out of anymore, not in your lifetime!
Happy waiting to everyone for their new toys!

Don’t worry I believe soon they will arrive. At least have something to look forward to.
By the way my horse population is growing. LOL
Hi Hippo,
They arrived at the store on Thursday (8 July) and I got some of them on the next day
