That's a good way to look at it if you have a collection of production pieces, even an extensive one. A screen used prop for a room full of toys you could buy any day of the week would be a FANTASTIC swap, if you could stomach trying to rebuild it all over again that is! I think it's a no brainer if you have a set of carded figures or a loose set though and I believe you can still pick up single props for the price of a high grade loose set (well maybe just one..and a small one but still!).
