      Most of the franchises that were supposed to make lots of money in the 2000's (D&D, GI: Joe, MLP) wound up fizzling in the latter half of the decade and into the 2010's (maybe MLP is the exception to this, but IIRC, Bronies being chuds put a huge dent in their sales)

      The success of Honor Among Theives and Barbie showed there's still elements of the pop culture nostalgia market that can be mined for profit.
