I think it can be hard to get shelfspace back once a toy company chooses to forego it.I do understand that feeling of being overwhelmed, but collectors need to remember it's okay to take a break. I collect Transformers too, and that is a toyline that I don't think has been on hiatus since 1997. The trick is to self-regulate. It's okay to skip the latest show or not buy the latest toyline . . . it's okay to abandon the message boards or not update your toy blog . . . Take care of yourself and give yourself a "vacation from toys" if you need one.
The thing about brand fatigue and My Little Pony is that it is primarily a toy aimed at the 3-8 age range. Which means that there are always new kiddos coming in to the brand all the time. So while brand fatigue could apply to the older fan base, there will always be room for ponies on the toys isle. Even if it’s down to only 1 shelf now.Really I think PL is as much a break as Hasbro is ever going to do at this point. And since PL isn’t really my cup of tea, I’ve been treating it as something of a break.

The influx of comic movies these past five years comes to mind when every three movies is a comic movie, and two more are announced in the making whether they're made or not.TTG has had schedules that took up literal days at a time with very little inbetween. Absolutely insane. The mane suxx is ignored on the shelves and little kids pass by without sparing it a second glance. Going for toylines with more variety. So yes, kids do get tired of businesses hyper obsessiveness.
