I think the value will hold true. Too many of us have kids that are playing with Joes. I had not bought a Joe for over 23 years when the 25th line showed up and started my buying frenzy. Just wait and see what the movie and video game does for the line in relation to kids. I think you may be suprised. Although there are many detractors, I bet the movie and subsequent toy lines create a new and bigger fan base.

I really hate that you think the movie is going to suck. I dont understand how you have such a poor out look on the future of GI JOE. Its really dissopointing to be on a fan website and then hearing the fans complain about the actual thing were supposed to be fans of.

I am excited about the movie. It may suck to many but to me I don't have any expectations. The Movie will be what ever it will be. I am going to turn down my adult vision and watch the movie as a child would, with the lens of innocents. If you expect this movie to knock your socks of, you are going to hate it no matter what. If you try to understand that it is a fun action packed romp through your childhood, then you will be amazed. From the moment I see Snake Eyes, Scarlet, Duke, Ripcord, and all the legions of cobra troops fighting on the big screen, I will be happy.

Thats why i avoid the movie forum lik the plague.Its 1 1 hate this thread after the other.I'm not going into this movie thinking its going to be the best movie ever,I think its going to be better than what most people want to give it credit for.Whats funny,is the people tha bitch the most about it.Will most likey be 1 of the first in line to see it.
Thats how i'm going in too.I'm just looking for a good action-popcorn-flick.I can't tell you how much crying happened when the first Transformers movie came out.I see the same thing going on here.Nobody has seen the movie,just read a leaked script.Bet yet,so many people are so postive that its going to bomb.

I buy 2 of every thing one to open & one to collect so in 20 years I can open that box & remember how they looked on the shelf. It's all nostalgia for me.

This is true but some things will always be valuable (variants and exclusives) I dont really collect planning to resell anything, cause your most likely correct Ill never get rich with any of this stuff.

Well, I think it won't be as much as vintage ARAH. If they do cost more in the future, they still won't be as much as ARAH figures because the ARAH figures are even older, which might mean more value.
