Isn't it really a matter of Economics. If you can afford them and it is not cutting into your milk money.......logic says that you would buy them. If you cant splurge then it is a pass. Then when we pass we blame it on not needing that or this or that they are useless. Toys in general are useless to grown-ups. It is a choice that Hasbro gives us and we make it. I would not blame the company for that.
In all honesty, economics really has nothing to do with it. It is the fact that the sets are garbage. What your saying is that if you have money, you will buy anything just because you have said money.
If that wase the case, why aren't rich people running around buying up piles of elephant dung? Clearly they can buy as much dung as they want just because they can and like to waste money........oh wait, that is what the 5 packs are...pure dung, and I cannot see myself spending 50 dollars on something that came out of an elephants butt.
