[QUOTE="jayums, post: 542232, member: 7190"] I totally agree . I see kids into things like Pokemon cards etc when nostalgia kicks in for them , it will be for whatever they are into . And it sure as heck won't be vintage Star Wars figures. Of course that mint graded 12 back moc will always highly prized - its pop culture history - but I think you'd have to be deluded to think your run of the mill figures will be worth more (relatively speaking) in a decade or two than they are at the moment. It's a bubble cause by demographics. Pay what it's worth to you. Enjoy it (display it if possible). The true value is the pleasure it gives you now from owning it. If it happens to be 'worth' more in the future then that's a bonus, but I wouldn't rely on that as a reason to pay over the odds now . I just ask myself - in the next ten years if you knew this stuff would be worth half what you paid for it, would you sell it ? The answer for me is no. [/QUOTE]
