[QUOTE="sith-smith, post: 530957, member: 43"] The 21b v 21 Fett is a good example of how rarity is not always the deciding factor in value. The Fett is a very popular piece and demand for one is high among many collectors willing to pay a high price. The same is true of the DT Ben. They maybe niche, but it's a much larger niche than the 21b fills. The 21b is rarer than a 30b Fett, but you can almost guarantee the demand for the 30b is higher and consequently the price will be. A rarity list will only ever be a brief snapshot into someone's experience which can be rendered out of date in a short period of time. Take the Palitoy VCJ as an example. There were none for long then most of us have been collecting. Then there was 1 and then within a few years there's like half a dozen or so. Rarity is a difficult thing around which to base your collecting. If you're collecting from 12-45b, then the for you, the ones you haven't got are going to be the rarer ones, within the context of your collecting. I know that doesn't help much in knowing where you're likely to be spending more money, but as I think several of us have said, rarity is not always the key. [/QUOTE]
