    I don't know. Lego's target demographic is about the same, and yet they keep releasing stuff for collectors fairly regularly.
    Seems like a bit of a "You don't buy the most, so we are not really concerned with you" kind of argument when you put it like that.

    I'm not saying I like it but what what we need to recognise also is that Lego is not an American company, it has different practices and different levels of quality it aspires to. Hasbro does its market research and it knows exactly the consumers it aims to satisfy. Far it be from a bunch of collectors to judge them as lacking business savvy or being predatory on the fans.

    I'm also very interested by that last add on comment in question 16. It seems like Universe performed very well for a subsidiary line w/out cartoon support and their happy about it. Could mean a lot of good things

    Well they do say it isn't far behind. I wonder what would have happened if it was the other way around.
