Facehammer. Thank you for discussing and not attacking LOL.
Agreed
Stand 1 peg vs two peg = Variant
Blue Baroness = Error
We will simply have to agree to disagree (which I feel more and more people should look into this option daily) on the mold number. I can see why you would not think so since you work in the industry. On the retail side I just see it differently.. and it's okay, we can still be friends : - )
In my case, I do not collect for money or value and I do not feel anyone should. I feel that people who collect for future value are simply scalpers who will commit the act in the future (Date of sale)
I collect because A) I love the hobby and the toys and the idea and B) because it is my intention to catalog every variation on our website over time. I collect everything loose so I do not worry about package variants.
I agree that variants should not increase the value of the toy. But in saying that, reproduction weapons or re-used molds should not effect the "Value" of the original either, but a lot of the same collectors who do not care about weapon mold variations do not want reproduction or reused mold items, they would rather have the original black snake eyes gun.
So a "Serious" question is this...how can we as collectors not care about a mold variation but care so much about having an "original molded" part with our vintage figures?
I could be wrong on this, I am unsure, but I believe that the Doc #1 symbolized the first production run and the #2 was a second production run that would of course had been manufactured at a later date. If this is true in this case, then would people care more about it? (3rd production of course will be with the new arms)
A Star Wars note (and the reason I stopped collecting packaged items). Remeber in 1995 when the red carded figures came out. I am one of the few geeks who noticed a number on the back of the card. 1st printings of the package had a .00 at the end of the number, 2nd a .01, and so on and so on. The one that really got me was TIE Fighter pilot with 11 different printings. No one really cared or knew about this, but would it not be true that the .00 cards should be more sought after than the rest, thereby having more value? Think of a first printing of a book or comic book, are they not valued more than the later releases?
Man guys, I don't know what the answer is, but I do find all of these "different items" very interesting, and even more interesting, the perception, knowledge, and concern of the collectors. It's just kind of cool for an old geek like me : - )
