I think more "grown-up dudes with beards" are buying these toys for nostalgia and perceived collectible value than kids.
I think just the opposite. I'm a "grown up dude with beard", I spent 10s of thousands in SW toys and merch in the late 90s/early 2000s, I was buying action figures by the case.
When TFA came out I was excited, but very reserved with my spending, buying virtual nothing. R1 came out and I picked up a few things for the collection, but we're talking just a few figures. TLJ came out and I have not bought anything.
Am I burned out on the franchise, absolutely not, but I have had zero interest in the toys, there just isn't any hype and when I go to the store they literally just have shelves of the same stuff that has been sitting there for months
