Exciting times. I like this new campaign. It’s a very smart platform to market products through storytelling. It’s like watching a good movie and then wanting to buy the product placements that come with it.
It does the many things I’ve been wanting over the last decade including more of a focus on sci-fi, better connectivity to the original brand identity, and a larger of volume of products that may be considered “art” (still TBD on this last one).
I recognize this is to replenish the fanbase and is geared more for the Gen Z rather than the Gen Xers, so most of this stuff in the years to come (leading up to the 2028 Olympics) will not connect with me. I understand the necessity of it and love the brand direction nevertheless.
If anything, I hope it does bring up a new generation of hardcore collectors that I can sell stuff to at super high prices when I get to retirement age in many, many years.
