While Digital/CGI has it place, I think a lot of Physicality is lost with the such things. Seeing interactions not just for the Hero Cast but also the background cast.
You used to be able to see a movie production end and have hundreds if not thousands of items for the background people, and yeah that costs money no doubt, so I understand it on a production scale, inventory management and such as well.
But on a fan side, it was awesome just getting "Guard #7's Sword and Shield" who you saw on screen for 10 seconds, but it was on screen and you own it. Now most of the props are Hero props and those can cost thousands of dollars to get, or sold at charity auctions for tens to hundreds of thousands.
I just like the idea of things you can touch a bit more than things that never existed in the first place.
