Yes Supply and Demand, and I feel a good thing is to go with your gut, there have been several times I have walked through toys r us and I wanted to buy something but held back only to shake my head later at the ebay prices. I have actually did pretty good over the years with the stuff I have bought. All I can say is if I would of saved that money it was not nearly as much as what it is worth in plastic lol and I had so much fun doing it

I actually think this is the reason to invest. With us hitting our 30's including myself we have just entered careers. Money is tight for alot of us. Its when the kids are grown and out of the house that alot of us go back and try to capture our childhood.

I agree with you guys 100% but.. im not a stock guy and I really do get much enjoyment out of these toy lines He-Man, Star Wars ETC. I feel or know alot of people that buy these just for the pure fact that they have not reached there full potential value wise. Just wanted to see some thoughts I by know means wanted to make anyone angry with this post.
Another thing you have to remember, is that just 'cause something is popular now, doesn't mean it won't get replaced with something better later on. For example, vintage Joe prices took a nosedive when the 25th line hit its peak. Not a lot of collectors went back to the vintage line, and a lot of collectors likewise parted with their vintage figures, usually pretty cheap. Sure, there'll always be some dorks with money who will be willing to buy for huge amounts, but then again, you'll never be the only one selling a particular item anyway. So, take it from me, a seasoned toy collector. If you want to make money on anything, invest in something else, and do a lot of research. Believe me, if toys were so valuable, everybody would be doing it. The banks would be allowing you to invest in action figures rather than stocks. It's just not going to happen. But if you don't believe me, go ahead and try it! |

Anyway, I wish I could go back in time and buy up every MOC Storm Shadow that I could find! But I remember back then, he was so hard to find! I was stoked when I finally got one for myself. |

I don't buy toys to invest in them. I buy them to enjoy them.

I'm mainly investing in my children. I believe the children are the future. We have to teach them well, let them led the way....
