I don't believe so. Back in the 80's, the high end playsets were beyond the reach of most kids so shelfwarmed to clearance and these days, I think they'd sell even worse.
With the rising cost of plastics, an intricate playset like Fortress Maximus would retail for several hundred dollars, just look at the price of the Car Robots Brave Maximus, and at that price they compete with games consoles. Lets face it, toys can't compete with videogames and there is also the size issue to contend with. What are parents going to choose, a small box that sits in front of the TV, or a giant hunk of plastic that will dominate the livingroom forever more?
