\"Matt loves Monster Zap cards ... He has Monster Zap toys, reads Monster Zap books, and wears Monster Zap underwear. Matt and his friends like to trade the cards at school, as the schoolyard is so empty and dirty, there isn't much else for them to do at recess. But when kids start fighting over Monster Zap and the cards are banned, Matt realizes that the school has big problems, maybe even bigger problems than the fights the cards caused\"--Amazon.com.

Using the Imagination: Consumer Evoking and Thematizing of the Fantastic Imaginary
This article explores the process by which consumers evoke and thematize the fantastic imaginary when playing a fantasy‐based trading card game. Interviews with 15 informants, all players of Magic: The Gathering, serve as data. The result is a new framework that reveals how the fantastic imaginary is evoked and thematized. A typology of thematizing strategies employed by consumers is also presented. Implications are discussed in relation to consumer research, imagination theory, literary theory of the evoked fantastic imaginary, and the imaginary in play.
