    Dying, I mean why is there this resurgence? because the 40 to 60 years old's who grew up in arcades have money to spend on this hobby, the kids of today will not buy and collect pins, maybe some will but not enough to warrant multiple manufacturers if even only 1, I love that its happening but it won't last, I live in TO which is the 4th largest city in NAmerica and 20 years ago arcades were abundant and now almost non-existent, OK barcades are springing up but again those are catering to that same demographic, if anything good should come from this its that the developers realize whos buying these pins and continue with more classic titles, I'll tell you if Stern did a Tron VE based on the 80's film they would sell 80 SLE's, if they did ST VE based on the OG movies again 80 SLE's and the LE's would gone as well, so Stern get to work on those would ya.
