Yeah, that was a creepy but business savvy dude in that second video. He's probably still sporting a gray porno mustache while kicking back on his private island in the Bahamas purchased by "MOC" vinyl caped Jawas . I liked the condescending attitude of the reporter: "And YOU are buying 'Star Wars toys'?"
I think it's clear in those videos that the "hype and demand" surrounding the toys was substantially different back then than it is today.
Yes--they are still somewhat popular with kids today but nothing like they were back then. If anything, there are more adults buying these toys now than there were back then. I think it's in large part these adults that are helping to keep the sales up.
