Re: Walmart Exclusive Generation 1 Optimus Prime Vintage Reissue Out in Canada
Yeah once a guy starts to see what they're doing to squeeze as much as they can from collectors, it makes you see the hobby differently.
Market research is quite "in your head" as in it covers all sorts of scenarios that people will put up with or such. Brand loyalty is a huge aspect in sales. And it's not just transformers. I'm talking automakers, dishsoap, laundry detergent, jeans, dc vs marvel, samsung vs apple... there is a LOT of physiological manipulation in play before any one of us buys in.
I still think the best way was like in the 80s. Tons of product, affordable, for everyone who wants to play.
