[QUOTE="Simply Sci-fi, post: 326182, member: 5480"] There are some really good points here. A lot really does depend on what kids build an attachment to in the future. I picked out HM Armed Forces because it’s a toy that I doubt is being kept in mint condition by anyone. Using Madelman as a guide, a fairly small pool of collectors have pushed prices into the stratosphere. Perhaps even a niche demand for today’s toys in the future will make them worth something. I was surprised to find that there are Ben 10 figures available from US Ebay sellers at £50 plus with a “Wildmutt” going for £400. I think I’ll take more of an interest in this year’s boot sale season! Prices for Lord of the Rings figures are pretty high also. Frozen is popular but doesn’t it mainly appeal to girls? I don’t mean to be sexist but collecting is on the whole a man’s pastime. I suppose the closest thing to Star Wars for the younger generation must be Harry Potter and like Star Wars there seems to be fans of HP who have clung on after the films have ended and are still collecting. There are some pretty healthy prices being charged for Harry Potter figures on Ebay – up to £50 for a MOC from The Philosopher’s Stone (which is what I paid for my Boba Fett in 1990). There are probably too many MOC Harry Potter figures around for them to reach huge value though. The Lego Harry Potter is very collectible too. I notice that there are high prices being asked for Lego Star Wars on Ebay such as £649 for a gold C-3P0, £279.99 for a Cloud City Boba Fett and £2000 plus for the USC Millennium Falcon. The limited edition Black Series Boba Fett is going for £100 plus. X-Pack – I agree, literally everything from our childhood is indeed collectible now. With so much emphasis on Kindles and the like, perhaps the Harry Potter generation will be the last to cherish their toys. I hope not! Craig. [/QUOTE]
