Re: Is 3rd Party in Trouble?
Yeah, it's not in trouble. It's just ebbs and flows. Sometimes there's a ton coming out, sometimes there's not much. Plus companies come and go, too, for various reasons.
Like stuff can happen that has nothing to do with if there's a market - these are all small groups of people, and sometimes interpersonal conflicts will cause rifts (see the whole thing with Toyworld's designers splitting off for instance from a few years back)
And with guys like MMC they've probably got a couple years of releases slated but factory space only frees up so quickly, as they also have to pepper in reissues and con exclusives.
