...predicting that we’ll all actually go—and not just because the dining halls close tomorrow after lunch. I’m looking forward to Yardfest, not to take notes, but to join thousands of Harvard students and form like Voltron in front of Memorial Church for an un-ironic, actually fun musical experience. Tomorrow, I’m going to hear one of my favorite groups for the first time through loudspeakers instead of my headphones, enjoying music in a democratic sense, unlike my sophomore-year forays in metaphorical-alias-related snobbery.

They have been popular for years on eBay, where nostalgic adults buy boxed He-Man figures for $60 or a complete Optimus Prime, the truck leader of the Transformers' Autobot heroes, for upwards of $150--eight times its original value. Sooner or later the toymakers had to notice and start making the items again. Trendmaster's mini-replica of the robot Voltron ($29.99) has completely sold out since its release...
