Of course none of this explains failed LEGO product lines like ZNAP or how dollar stores stay in business, so I realize my hypothesis, and grammar, are wide open to criticism.
Too true.
Greg, I here you. Thats why I tried to design something with a lot of play value for kids that would look equally as good sitting on an adults desk or shelf.
I do honestly think you’ve done a good job on both of those counts. It looks cool, is a reasonable size (I’d expect $35-50 price point if it did become a set) and would fit on a shelf nicely, and has play value for sure (but more huskies would help in that regard!) My cynicism stems from Big Bang Theory and Golden Girls and things of that ilk – great shows, perhaps, but really don’t see kids playing with them… it’ll just be for collectors / fans of the shows. And as cool as Ecto-1 is (let’s not talk about that crummy DeLorean model), I’m just bored with licensed everything… unfortunately, just like Top 40 radio hits, what people buy is what people sell.
You have a fighting chance, if we can get you the votes. Seemed like a bunch of people took interest at PBF; have you seen any evidence that you garnered some votes based on the weekend’s display being viewed by possibly upwards of 17,000 sets of eyes?
