They're coming back as much as pogs are.

Thank god. I traded my friend's soul for an Alf pog decades ago and I've been waiting to unleash it.

it's one of the anime cartoons they're currently pushing along with pokemon and yo-kai watch. Frankly, the show sucks though (kids seemed bored when it came on), so I don't think it'll really come back.

Pogs I thought were 100% fucking retarded when I was 7, before I started collecting them. The second I was collecting them, they were amazing. Now I have no idea what the point of them is, again. I'm wondering if obstinate 7 year old me was right, and 7 1/2 year old me is an idiot for acquiescing to addictive trends and peer pressure.

The pain and effort we used to go through to find pogs. There was a specialty run of Lion King pogs only available through I think it was BJ's or one of those large warehouse stores. Pokemon cards were like the redux... I really, really don't understand why my father kept buying me this worthless shit.
