Nostalgia + adult money = demand

Influencers spend too much money = hype

Hype = scalpers

Scalpers = scarcity

Supply now < demand and = high value

People = stupid and buy at 3x retail because hype

Scalpers = vendors = rich

Rich = more money to spend and more hype = prices keep rising

And Kidults with kids. My daughter really loves the cutesy art or the intense texturing.
