Quoted from TigerLaw:I generally don't disagree with anything you are saying but let me address the above and draw a distinction.
Nostalgia is built on movies based on where you were at in your life when you first saw the movie and who you saw it with.
Pulp Fiction can it the nostalgia bug quicker than Toy Story can because people were going out on dates and what not to see the edgy Pulp Fiction movie and it's juicy dialog. They were already late teens (17 or older) going to see that movie.
The people who will feel nostalgic about Toy Story will be those that went to theaters with their parents when they were 10 years old and were amazing by the tech. Those then 10 year olds are now 32. There are 32 year olds in the hobby but not many buying NIB games.
I'm 37 and enjoyed Toy Story when it was released and in awe of the technology used, but it's not a theme that is an insta buy. WoZ is currently the exception to the rule in my collection. I bought it for the gameplay and features and see it as a cinema classic, so it slipped in....if I will fill my cinema/games room with the merchandise, chances are I will want the pinball.
Back to the Future is a great example. Love the movie, still buy Back to the Future related items and hope to one day own a new Back to the Future pin or find the Data East version as a last resort.
I'd be more excited over a Wreck It Ralph pinball as opposed to Toy Story. I loved that movie with the video game theme and some cameos from old favourite video game characters.
