There was a time when this hobby was simple – walk into a retail store, and you had a fair chance of finding a Star Wars item you wanted to buy.  But for a lot of collectors and kids, those days seem to be a thing of the past.

Is all of this Hasbro’s fault?  Probably not.  But a lot of collectors, like myself, feel that most of the issues with the hobby today rest squarely on the shoulders of Hasbro.

This rant is my own opinion, but feel free to chime in with your thoughts in our forums – even if you think I’m crazy.   Because sometimes the truth hurts.  Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts.
