I was thinking that a new section we could add is about toys based on the Banjo-Kazooie section. We could have it split up into areas like plush toys and action figures. If anyone thinks this could be a good idea I will go ahead and begin taking pictures of my own Banjo-Kazooie toys. Or we could just make it Banjo-Kazooie Collectables instead of just toys and have magazine covers, and toys, and posters, players guides, etc. Thanks, {{User:Dekudan312/sig}} | I was thinking that a new section we could add is about toys based on the Banjo-Kazooie section.

:Sorry, but to tell the truth, I kind of prefer the one we have now just because it's large, easy to read, and links for beginners are placed right in the path your eyes would likely take.
