Aside from that already-mentioned point (again, you must've just missed it), no, Hasbro doesn't give a hoot about the secondary market when they made their money two steps further back in the chain.

Dude, what I'm talking about has nothing to do with "gauging market trends". Thanks for your input, though.

And Trebleshot, I'm not talking specifically about unreleased toys. Your original comment that I responded to was talking about the secondary market, so that's all I'm talking about. There's no use debating definitions.

Once again, heat on the secondary market can absolutely intensify consumer interest in the brand, which directly impacts sales. That's all I'm saying.
