Is the Hobby at an all time low?

It's one of those pieces that appeals to movie and comicbook fans, these tend to sell way better.

Furthermore Exclusives are always sold out first and often pretty quickly, Bane PF EX is long gone, CE still in stock, same goes for many other statues.

Here in the EU we basically can't get Exclusives btw (unless we buy directly from SS, which is really expensive).

I haven’t been checking the forum much lately as my collection seems to be coming to a close.

The SW OT doesn’t really seem to be getting the kind of love I’d like. The franchise is going in a whole new direction and frankly if there is no plans to get deeper into the gritty stuff like Favreau seems to be doing i may actually lose interest.

MCU is a toss up. Who knows where the stories will lead and Disney’s recent SJW push has me on fence. I don5 care about captain marvel and Valkyrie. The GOTG are awesome but is it kind of played out? There isn’t enough steam 8n the engine for another solid ten years of MCU films. They may lose me fast.

DC is just a complete catastrophe. Gotham has ended and the movies are just horrible. The one shining beacon is perhaps the Joker and it won’t be enough to carry the franchise. Oh, the franchise that could have been...

It just feels like SS is winding down also. Retailers can’t afford to carry the pieces. This may turn into a lost hobby.

I've noticed this forum seems a whole lot slower than it used to be, that's for sure.

That's mostly due to many switching to Facebook.

Prices doesn’t help either with the constant increases.

Yup. A billion groups on fb with much more traffic.

At times though I do prefer the simplicity of the forum compared to a 100 different topics/posts made per day on fb.

I’ve tried Facebook, to me its like driving through Dallas, Texas. There’s a ton of people on the road and they’re all kinda crazy.

I think a lot were persuaded to FB groups due to promise/assumption of open conversations and most were met with censorship there as well.

Grass isn't always greener. I still check several now and it is a PIA...
