It's been a couple of years since the BB-8 playset, but Hasbro just released the Target exclusive Vandor-1 playset. Granted it's more cardstock than plastic and the price higher than expected for such, but it is a playset nonetheless.

Whether its hit or a miss may determine if Hasbro decides to do more playsets in the future.

This will help. Retailers seeing demand for it through sales creates the big push.

Over a year later, Toy Fair 2018 wowed us with a crazy huge HasLab 3.75 Jabba Barge. Just like Kostej said, "Everybody" who loves 3.75 (Star Wars, Marvel, DC, GIJoe) should let Hasbro know, we still exist, in this similar biased survey. Maybe we'll see a Toy Fair wowing us with another crazy huge HasLab / Hellicarrier?!?

You missed the point. I didn't say surveys don't help, I said THAT survey won't.

It asks the wrong questions. It's designed to give skewed results to reflect lack of interest and yields no data we need to get stuff made. The two questions it asked about 3.75" figures isn't enough to cause change or show demand. It asked how many have you bought and of your purchases what percentage is which based over the last 2 years of your purchases. With lower offerings on market as around Ironman 3 and Antman(more than 2 years ago), that's going to reflect higher market on the 6'' side. So that survey is going to reflect bad data and will have skewed results as such. Effectively, it's a survey to support killing the scale for Marvel material because of how the results are skewed from the questions asked, and will show it as a dying market when it's only lower because the offerings are lower.

The star wars survey asked the right questions, which is why we saw the positive effects.

Surveys do help when the results aren't skewed to reflect bad data gathering or false data. That's how markets that are still thriving end up dying.

As for the helicarrier. The most we'll get is a retool of the Avengers released one. Which I'm not actively against either. Would love that to be on market again with a newly made cabin top/side. That'd make a really epic Micro Machines playset too with some minor tweaks.
