should Hasbro be capitalizing on nostalgia?

[Wardah]

Nostalgia is an interesting concept.  It's totally subjective.

On the internet it's easy to forget people are different ages and when people talk about early seasons of G4 being nostalgic to them I'm like, ooooh, they're young.  I remember before 20 how huge an amount of time five years was, and it's just a blink now.

I think the broad range of ages and demographics in the My Little Pony fanbase overall probably makes Hasbro hesitant to make big moves to capitalize on nostalgia because it's so subjective.

Tbh if they wanted to capitalize on my nostalgia they would do retro rereleases of G1 LPS. Especially since it's the 25th anniversary but I've yet to hear even a peep of acknowledgement from Hasbro.

Long answer short: No.

If only I had your eloquence...

On a random note,  I just noticed the Argos catalogue has g1 design baby clothing. I had no idea they also did those, so maybe there are even more items in areas we haven't been looking.

H&m had baby rompers a few years back. There's other companies too with baby stuff... A quick Google search led me to this...

(Uh anyone wanna help me make a purchase from Australia lol)

There were also baby blankets, hooded toddler towel, washcloth, bibs, baby lots of socks, baby head bands...

We just don't seem to talk about merch often. Although I learned about some of this through the shout box

This is what I saw in our catalogue when helping sister with some research for her work...

I can't find the set I was talking about since it was out like 3 years ago, but it pretty much was this: https://www.amazon.com/Little-Pony-Rainbow-Dash-Pink/dp/B00MENHWAM
ETA: better link with the whole set: https://www.amazon.com/My-Little-Pony-Ponies-Bootie/dp/B01EF13FA6/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1496969764&sr=1-1&nodeID=7147444011&psd=1&keywords=My+Little+Pony+Baby+Girls%27+Ponies+Bib+and+Two+Pack+Bootie+Set
Glory / Starshine on the bibs, socks, and hair bows...

and Sundance on the towel, washcloth and blanket...

I know some people dislike the retro artwork... but I really like it.

But that's Starshine. Plus $7.98 is too expensive for a bib.
