I would hold on to any 'First Day Issue' ones, but beyond this no more of an investment than any other modern figures.
The 'First Day Issue' stickered figures still go for more than retail price on the bay, but its just a sticker, piss easy to make one and stick it on for unscrupulous gain if they became more valuable.

Chris I think you may find even the 'First Day Issue' sticker one's have dropped now. I struggled to sell my R2 and Luke Skywalker. Had them on at £35 for ages. Put them on as 99p start last week, the R2 went for £12.70, Skywalker £19.50.
Def not an investment, they are just like any other modern figure, mass produced and worth nothing.

There are 3 3/4" figures in the black range too, I don't think any of them are new figures as such, just re-releases or tweaks of other modern ranges.
The biker scout is cool to Captainhancock, I think the vintage Bikerscout was one of the best sculpts looks like he is keeping up his standards. Being a cool character helps too.

JuniorChubb are you a fellow Biker Scout fan? The vintage Biker Scout really stands up well against the Black series scout. I have been comparing them. The vintage gun is much better too.
I'm interested in finding out what people think is the best example of the Biker Scout in general.

If I remember rightly most of the Bikers are cool except the bow legged (to fit the speeder) POTF2. The power of the Jedi figure was ok, but not as good as the vintage. The more recent versions (Trilogy, 30th Anniversary) are quality, I think these are the same sculpt as the black series. There is also a version with a flip open mask version and a Hoth Scout too but I can't remember which ranges these are from.
Which is the best? Don't ask me I love wally :wink:
BTW welcome to SWFUK 8)
