...Hasbro has tempered its optimism, expecting toy sales growth to recede over the next two years as spending on travel and leisure rebounds.
I have one response:
Maybe those fickle Black Series fans will move on to greener pastures, but don't question your ride-or-die Vintage Collection fans. Upper middle-aged dads don't care about leisure time. TVC IS OUR LEISURE TIME. Our priorities go like this:
NFL
Vintage Collection
Family
You're in the top two. Underestimate that at your own financial peril.
Next thought: I'm done with the anorexic Clone Troopers. I recently received my Vintage Collection Bad Batch 4-Pack:
While I'm thrilled to own this, I am officially done with figures based on the VC45 - Clone Trooper mold. I've had a love hate relationship with this mold since its debut. I initially hated it. Then I was convinced that it was actually screen accurate, so I accepted it. Now I'm convinced that i was gaslighted into accepting that mold. I know what a Clone Trooper should look like, and this ain’t it. VC45 needs to be retired, and it needs to be retired last week. Since a definitive Clone Trooper mold could be milked for a quarter century, there is no sane argument against investing in such.
When does the reborn USFL start? Is it today? I need it to be today.
