[QUOTE="Joe, post: 118651, member: 440"] SW+ POTF have always been the highest selling figures. I have a US magazine from the 90's which I bought because of the price guide, SW+POTF prices were close if not almost the same to nowadays yet ESB + ROTJ figures were really cheap, you could apparently buy a Tri ERG for $40 and a Tri Ackbar for $25 lol (I would be laughing if I could get them at those prices now) and that was across the board all Foreign and Kenner ESB/ROTJ was cheap with only the earliest and the latest releases being pricey. I think the demand for SW stuff is because it's the oldest and the demand for POTF is because they are all deemed "rarer" than other figures due to the relatively small production run compared to the other figures and let's face it ESB + ROTJ didn't really have any super exciting characters for people to go bonkers on. Each year for some reason there seems to be a surge in prices around the summer even if nothing Star Wars is happening on the telly or in the cinemas, then in the colder months it kind of drops off and you can get some bargains- Maybe its the Christmas factor with people saving? One thing is for sure, ebay is full of people with fat wallets or maxed out credit cards - I would feel terrible if I actually overpaid for something toy related :lol: [/QUOTE]
