Has the hobby evolved past Miggle ?

I had a nice conversation with D. Jennings the other day and it made me think. Do we need Miggle anymore? It seems as though the hobby is evolving more toward the miniatures end of the hobby. We all play the game still but I know I spend more of my time customizing and creating figures and teams.

Miggle's website often goes un-updated ( same paint colors for 2 years now) and I'm sure orders are way down since they lost their NFL license.

I pose this question not to slam Miggle but to ponder whether or not they have become passe now. Does the hobby even need them? No new products, no NFL, no action on the website.... should the company be sold or dissolved? Couldn't the hobby move forward without them?

Things to ponder....
