This hype turns into a must-have that becomes a fad. Kids want what other kids have and many times, parents want to be sure their kids do have what those other kids have. This is when consumer-buying behavior begins and the trend turns into sales and profit. Remember that a collector never buys everything from the same store. One of the joys of collecting is to search for new items to add to the collection.
Some collectors purchase by price point.
Look for displays of all the collections in a single area. There is usually a special place in the store that collectors can find new products. It takes too much time for a collector to search a whole store, if they already know that when new product comes in and you have it in one area, that will entice a collector to visit more often. Remember that collecting is for all ages. Kids learn to collect while adults enjoy it as a pastime providing an escape from everyday pressure.
