All of this is basically nostalgia bait. When people go in their thirties they want stuff that reminds them from their childhood. You are currently witnessing this with Harry Potter. I wouldn't even mind but the new stuff rarely catches the lightning in a bottle that the originals did.

Same with LEGO: People who have pristine, untouched kits from the past, could sell them for a fortune the last few years, even before COVID. People who buy LEGO today as a long term investment? I don't see that end well. Starting with the computer games going mainstream, LEGO is a lot less popular, there just is too much else to mess around with. An investment would be what the current 6 to 12 year olds today have. Which would be Paw Patrol, maybe? Minecraft stuff?

> All of this is basically nostalgia bait. That’s definitely true of Picard, but is it for the rest of NuTrek? It’s hard to see how Discovery, awful as it is, is nostalgia bait. > lightning in a bottle Do I spot an RLM fan?

I haven’t thought or cared about Harry Potter in about 10 years now and I initially looked over the game when I saw it in the steam best selling. But I decided to to give it a shot any way after seeing the good reviews. I’m shocked. I usually struggle to play more than 30 minutes of a game without getting bored, but I ended up glued to this game for 10 hours over the weekend. This isn’t just a cheap cash in on some old IP, its genuinely one of the most fun games I’ve ever played and still would be without the IP.
