sith-smith said:I'd guess that the much greater availability than say 15 years ago, rather than making the price drop dramatically, has made the prices in the high range that they now command. (when I put my set together in 2002 the vast majority of 12/20 were below the £500 mark.
With more available, I reckon more people are thinking that it's a set they can actually put together, so far more people are trying to put the set together. I was told it was impossible to do back in 2002, not because of demand, but entirely because of availability and that probably put a lot of people off...and as MOC go, back then they were still a lot more expensive than Kenner 12/20.
Now so many more are available of the though 5 (Luke, Chewie, Han, Leia & Ben) that more people are battling it out over them...even the more common ones and so their prices are also very high in relation to their relatively high number in existence ( though not necessarily available for sale)
You've just broken Iain's elasticity of supply/demand theory :lol:
