I prefer the pic of the dude just dropping some Joes off into the bucket, because that's what most of us can afford or are willing to do.

It's like dropping a few bucks into the Salvation Army bucket and then some guy backs up the Brinks truck and puts in gold bars.

Let's remember that every donation counts, big or small. Most Toys for Tots locations get small donations. Every bit helps. It's not how much you give, it's that you give.

I think whether you donate one toy or one hundred toys the same thought is there; getting toys into the hands of less fortunate kids. Some collectors spend hundreds, and in some cases thousands of dollars a year on tiny hunks of plastic. I think the whole idea of this “contest” (if you want to call it that) is to think of someone else when you’re making your latest purchase. So if you're picking up a Joe or 'Former, pick up an extra one, or instead of getting two for yourself, get one for a kid instead.

All that said, kudos to the fine persons pictured above as well as anyone else participating!

Excepting the people who made that donation, of course.
