Have you seen Memphis and Nashville hamburgers? I'd say they are equivalent of steak if not better and can be enjoyed by kids or adults.

At Target and Walmart they carry... well restock all the "kid" stuff I say that because I believe there is two target demographics Hasbro is trying to hit.
Generations, Black Series, Lengends and Infinite Series is what I would label as the "adult brands". We account for a smaller and smaller percentage of the pie.

Why sell a Boba Fett or Spiderman for $20 when you can sell one 2/10? I think its a very economical diving point for these stores.

Maybe seeing all of these Kickstarter toy companies make 100K in 2 weeks will change Hasbros mind about adult collectors. But I am sure 100K-200K is a drop in the proverbial bucket.

Also I am sure between the lack of "adult collector" income and the fact that 4/5ths of adult collectors publicly slander and curse Hasbro for existing and being so horrible since 2010 its hard to see why they want to cater to us at all.

Since 2010? The "adult collector" has been doing that since before 2002.
