Those in need of a time-waster for the rest of the day need look no further than Merchandising Is Forever, a blog that does nothing but post pictures - and gifs - of the "minute variations in deterioration over time" on old Star Wars figures. I just...can't stop staring. And remembering how, yeah, the paper sticker on the front of the old R2-D2 was almost impossible to keep clean/dry/safe under playground conditions.
