I think one of the biggest reason I like the 25th Collection is how it is affecting the Vintage Joes. I just watched a Battle Bunker AFA graded 80 go for 35 bucks and loved every minute of it. I have been watching these sorts of auctions ending with similar results, I mean god forbid they make an Attack Glider (I pray everyday they do) I mean those things are 4k each WTF anyway watching the Vintage fangs end at 15 bucks with no bids to me is just great. I hate the markup you see in these AFA Joes I mean I AFA but to see that someone wants 4k for a glider? I like to AFA just to protect my figures or Vehicles and that’s it.

Thank you 25th!!! I've never been in it for an "investment," just the love of ARAH. The more prices go down, the faster I can complete my collection.

Yeah.. no wonder some people say the 25th line sucked.. they invested too much in it to see it drop.

I don't think the drop in vintage prices is due to the 25A line as much as it is to the global recession. People have less cash to spend on non-essentials now.

I don’t know when I use to see a FANG complete I would almost wet myself and could not wait for it to go off, or how about a SNAKE armor I mean I don’t even want vintage anymore why would I? And I had a bunch of them… (Them being vintage Joes in general) Now don’t get me wrong I do like the loose vehicles that are complete that 25th has not put out or would be putting out.

It might also be who the seller is sometimes. I saw a MIB APC go for $910 and a MIB FANG for $220. I have also seen some go way lower than they should. Hopefully I can get some of the carded figures I have been wanting for a decent price. And those gliders too, I always wanted one of those styrofoam POS's.

I just like the vintage vehicles since the 25th isn't up to par on vehicles yet. As far as the figs I just buy 25th for my son. No point of paying ridiculous amount on the bay for figs that my son is just going to play with.

At first I got into the 25th line for investment. Then all my childhood memories cam back and i remembered the fun I had. Both of my boys love the 25th figures. I have waves 1-12 complete and put in star cases. One day I will breal them out when my boys are older. I have some of the varants also, but I can't wait till we bet older and break those out. I remember the feeling I got when my mom brought my 1988 Tiger force figures out. I almost crapped my pants. It was a awesome feeling. My boys can pass them down to there kids.

Hmmm...I dunno about AFA or carded stuff, but I'm constantly watching loose auctions on ebay, and I haven't noticed much off a drop off.
I just saw a complete BUGG go for $150.00+ last night actually...
