    70+ years from now, a restoration video of one of today’s toys will be 3 seconds long consisting of the toy being thrown in the trash because it was made of crap.

    • @imperialpresence3331
      @imperialpresence3331 4 года назад +4

      the toys of today may be crap...but they are much much safer...i remember a lot of toys from my early 70's childhood...and seeing the toys from my fathers late 40's childhood...safety was not a priority...i think things started getting carried away in the early 90's...when metal parts pretty much became a thing of the past

    • @TRGRESTORATIONS
      @TRGRESTORATIONS  4 года назад +2
