It seems that all adults that play with toys are called collectors. I was
watching the History Channel last night, and there was a blurb about Lionel
trains. In 15 minutes the program did a brief history on the company and noted
that Lionel was brought back to life in the '70 when Lionel started marketing
to adult collectors.
I guess toy manufacturers think that adults are easily embarrassed.
