Of course by then the RPG side of things might once again be in the ascendancy. The latest news is GW is releasing a new version of Warhammer FRP (you don't need expensive figures for this - just a few pounds for the main book and some polyhedral dice, paper,

imagination and lots of time).
so a non-starter commercially ;-)
Mega Blocks Dragons is very D/D, very nice little figures that fit onto Lego, all superb detail with lighty up bits etc. He has a whole pile that's been under the bed since last Xmas. It's the sort of thing that I will hide when he gets bored of it and put in the loft before he does a reconstruction of Aliens with it ("nuke the entire site from orbit"😉

Well the RPG hobby is undergoing a bit of a renaissance at the moment although no-one is making lots of money fast from it - it can support small companies especially with cheaper production costs now PCs are more widespread.

But bashing things up is half the fun. Me and my brother had a box of a 100 or more dinky toys (or other brands of toy cars) - I can tell you they were well scratched and bashed up by the time we finished with them.

should have kept them (and the box) have you seen what that stuff fetches at Swapmeets? BTW the new versions (Chitty Chitty Bang bang Limited Edition collectors edition etc etc) are exactly that and because they will never get trashed are probably all worthless. The reason old toys are worth money is that only the anoraks did not smash them up so they are now rare.
