What is wrong with you guys? This poor guy has a valid point and you rip him apart for it!
At what level are you a true GI Joe fan? Just because you bought 3 or 4 of a rare figure and you don't sell them does not make you more of a fan then a guy who buys the same and only keeps one. Look, I'm a huge GI Joe fanatic, but I am also a real, live, enterprising person! If there is demand! I'm gonna capitolize on it! What's wrong with it? That's called being business savvy.

Man, it would be nice just to have 1 for my collection. I haven't really look into Joes for a few months now. Other than on ebay, I don't think hasbroshop ships to Canada any ways.
Can't even get Doc in Canada either. |

Really. Reeeeeeaaaallly. You need to read posts fully and comprehend what is being said in it before you go off on a rant response. When the comment, and I quote "At what level are you a true GI Joe fan? Just because you bought 3 or 4 of a rare figure and you don't sell them does not make you more of a fan then a guy who buys the same and only keeps one." It was to stress that there is NO STANDARD to judge fandom and to back offa people who take a different approach to collecting then you. That was the point. Capeesh?

A good investment is something that can generate income. That said any item that fails to generate any form income is susceptible to volatile prices swings. So if you want to sell right away, you might not get the return that you want. Scarcity plays a factor too. But my main point is that toys are generally not a good investment unless you have something very rare and you got that at a low price.

since so many people have the black cc's now it kind of sucks in a way in the sense that it has taken value away from them. im glad everyone who wants one is able to get one and i dont care because im not trying to sell them like crazy or anything but its like they have no value now.
when they first dropped people were willing to pay 50.00 all day for one. atleast the blue cc's are still worth something. but my point is that they should of only made a low amount so that they were more a valuable piece. anyone understand what im getting at? Yeah the value is a bit lower right now, but I'm sure it'll go up again. I remember plenty of figures throughout the whole 25th line that started low and have gone on to crazy prices now. Then there's some that were crazy prices and dropped to low (Shipwreck anyone? ) |

Another example of that Hasbro listening to its fan base. Plus they probably didn't like the eBay speculation explosion.

I spoke with the designers of the actual figures at SDCC and a couple of the corp. wannabes.... Trust me. They could care less about anything that goes on Ebay. They have a bottom line to worry about. They make predictions and purchases for a product for a certain production run and that's it. Minor tweeks are done due to demand but just becuase a Shipwreck with an Anchor starts selling for 4X the price, they don't go running to the boardroom.

That may be true, but they did try to limit people to buying just 1 Blue and 2 Blacks per person. So they may have tried to prevent selling to folks at the convention from purchasing more in order to sell on eBay (e.g. scalpers).
