how do you figure? remember the 90's kids, and the 2000's kids are coming into there own now.




[/QUOTE]Oh, there's no doubt an adult collector can (and does) throw a ton of money into building a collection. That's not my point. Yes, you are able to spend far more than a kid or parent will on toys. The trick is that there are still far more of them than there are people like you and me.[/QUOTE]

this speaks to my point that Hasbro needs to take a look at there demographics. I think (as far as action figures) you, and Hasbro are wrong, I think the adult collector makes up more of the market than Hasbro is willing to recognize. if you don't believe me just look at the recent earnings report.

[/QUOTE](technically, I'd fit in both categories. I'm a father and a collector).

Using my earlier example, if Hasbro gets 80-85% of its profits from kids/parents and the remaining 15-20% from collectors, guess who they're going to cater to the most?[/QUOTE]

I doubt those numbers...(on the action figure side of things)


Y[/QUOTE]es, tech advances quite fast these days. But capitalism still takes its sweet time. It takes much longer for the pricing to drop to affordable levels for general consumers than it does for the next advancement to come out. In fact, a lot of the time it seems the only reason the price does go down on existing tech is because something better came out. Cell phones are a great example of this.[/QUOTE]

well, yeah, but I think once the ability to 3D print captivates the pubic (there is a news story about a new 3D printed gun, or something every week or so) this will spurn the big tech companies to be out front in this new field, leading to faster innovations and more consumer product quickly. I agree the cell phone is a good example, what were you talking on five years ago? how much did it cost? now what do you have? my phone dose more than my first four computers!
