I doubt these mass produced toys will be worth very much in the future, especially the mass quantities of troop builders. You'll probably have the rare ones like Black timber or Pimp dady destro fetching nice prices, but the rest are pretty much worse less than what you would have paid in retail.
Honestly, thinking about how much one's collection will be worth is the wrong way to go about collecting, IMO. Any investment advisor will tell you that for the most part, you're better off committing resources to real investments rather than collectibles, because it's just not worth the time, effort or storage. Collecting should be about personal enjoyment. Sure, a rare painting would fetch a lot, but these aren't paintings. They're five dollar toys. If even that.
