[QUOTE="ScruffyLookingNH, post: 452634, member: 6563"] Yeah absolutely. And this "variant madness" is just another part of the vintage SW market coming of age. We all started out wanting to collect all 92/93/96/97/whatever but when you get that done, what next? How do you keep the collecting buzz going of you have everything? Simple, you look for something you [i]don't[/i] have, even if it is a slightly different colour, mould of even more crazy, a COO (no offence, Stef!). And so the birth of a new market. BITD it was VCJ v Cloth cape, Blond Luke v Brown hair Luke, Blue Snag v Red Snag.....and that was it. As the market matures we create new things to collect because we collect a dead toyline and of the manufacturers won't provide it, we will. I find the rise and maturing of the vintage SW market fascinating. In actual fact it's a perfect example of the collectibles market that's had gasoline poured on it. Would make for an interesting book.... [/QUOTE]
