Curious as to how many of your young (12-18 yrs of age) patrons that you see migrating from the current titles to avid collectors (bronze-silver-etc). Any predictions on what these perceived trends may have on the future of our beloved hobby?

 

Thanks,

They may be in the store, but they are more likely to be buying stuff like YuGiOh cards than comic books.

Collectors age 12-18 are buying Heroclix, hockey/sports cards, action figures, maquettes, bobbleheads, tpb's. I see young kids 6-11 buying YuGiOh cards & going thru the 4 for $1 bin.

Agreed. They should also relinquish their HG SA Marvels immediately.

I really really miss a good store. Tons in Boston and surrounding areas and crapola here. Half the fun is getting to know the owner, clerks and denizens. The other half is just having a place to go regularly where you can actually SEE the book in the flesh, so to speak.
