I don't think its the lineup that lost its luster. The issue, at least for me, is knowing even if I miss a game I know I can pick up the bobble for $10 eventually. Unlike 2001/2002 when the bobble were limited there are people that buy many, many multiples of tickets to resell them. There are so many bobbles now that there are not any new people collecting them. Fans who may go to their first bobblehead game most likely won't get hooked on trying to get them all. The task may seem to insurmountable. Even the retro ones, if I'm willing to wait, will be fairly inexpensive.
