[QUOTE="sith-smith, post: 559274, member: 43"] In terms of the vintage line then that is a very valid point to make. We're concerned about who'll be collecting - but in reality what might be left to collect if more things like the MOC deteriorate. Ultimately the vintage line can only become rarer due to the effects of time and damage (there are so many stories of damaged items in the post or even accidents at home) I think in the end it will still come down to the basic supply and demand equation. There may be fewer collectors as the older one who grew up with vintage stop/sell up. There may also be fewer items left. Personally I can't see younger generations being as interested in the vintage. They have no sentimental/nostalgic attachment to it like we do. And there's a whole host of really cool stuff constantly being released that is more easily obtainable. The market could also become flooded as older collectors give up/sell off etc. It's really hard to predict. Who, back in the 90's, would have even slightly imagine that vintage SW toys would be selling for many thousands of pounds? [/QUOTE]
