[QUOTE="choffialoopa, post: 473547, member: 9813"] 90 Loose figures are much easier to display than 90 Mocs. So market segment for Mocs is much smaller and their desire is more grounded with solid veteran collectors. Hence the slower price jumps. Loose figures are marred by flippers and investors, who push prices up. Even close to Mocs. Which is indeed concerning as you point out. It is traumatic tbh. Irreversible, and harms the legitimacy of dreams for genuine collectors to one day own all Mocs. If that dream , however unlikely, fades,so does the depth of collecting and with that its appeal. Sub note on accessories: I recently met up with a company who is pioneering in 3D printing in a business venture (automobile spare parts). Out of curiosity I brought a black Endor blaster. The high end machines can easily manufacture exact texture, color and density and at least 100 times as small details as the small ruffles on the end of the blaster... (We reviewed a machine costing 600.000£ and matearial way way up there) In 10 years they’ll be mainstream. It only takes one night to produce 100 of those. The seller of those won’t make much due to material price and time investment and machine runtime etc. but some will do it eventually. The aftermath of 3D print will haunt the accessory loose figure market in 10 years time. I imagine that will impact Moc prizes dramatically upwards. My 2 cents: get your hands on your favorite Mocs no matter how scarred before those prices blow up In a handful of years and invent a cool way to display them. [/QUOTE]
