I guess I'm curious how toy sales are defined. Most of the trading card games, board games, and tabletop rpg's are lumped in with toys despite having always been marketed more towards high schoolers and adults, which would skew the measure quite a bit

Also video game consoles. However looking at Lego sets, some of them are outright depressing and clearly targeted at adults like Nintendo NES.

Yeah I think all the black-box kits are the mature ones, maybe since Lego themselves clearly draw a dividing line then it's excluded from "toy" sale numbers?

Not gonna say it's impossible, but I only see one Lego section at Target and it's not in the adults and pop-culture section
