Yeah, it certainly looks like it's been a downhill slide since the mid 60's. Fattening our bodies and our brains.

Re: Seen in Print
I saw in the news and in print, just today, that Toys-R-Us is nearing bankruptcy. What is happening to toy stores, these days? There aren't less children being born, are there? I wonder if F.A.O. Schwarz leaving Fifth Avenue, NYC, was part of this phenomenon. It was such an elegant, spectacular store.
And I wonder how all this affects our hobby.

Electronic toys and games on a pad have replaced dolls and trad. toys - kids in 1st grade have iPhones...
Brick & mortar stores like Toys-R-Us are getting eaten alive by Amazon and that ilk.

Re: Seen in Print
But don't children and adults want to see firsthand and touch the toys anymore?

Parents and grandparents do, but kids have moved on......
Parents and grandparents buy toys based on nostalgia.

Re: Seen in Print
Yet, I must admit, when we were first married (26yrs ago) my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed excursions to the malls to furnish our new house and our wardrobes. But nowadays, I don't think we have been to a mall for a decade. That's partly because we don't need any more stuff, and partly because it is easier to order on-line.

I think you have hit on something substantial there. Here is a photo of a cousin's reaction to the toys we gave him for Christmas. He loves trains, but his slightly-older brother has retained only a passing interest, preferring remotely controlled and interactive dinosaurs and drones (which they both got from us , too, and loved.)

Most seem to be slowly dying or they are being reinvented/rebuilt into multi-use areas - stores on the 1srt level and condos the next 4-8 stories up.
That's partly because we don't need any more stuff, and partly because it is easier to order on-line.
When you reach that intersection, and have grandkids, you buy for them, otherwise it's just living as well as you can.
