I agree with you on that the mass horders buying up all stock so no one else can get them and then hiking the prices is bad. I myself have never bought anything in mass bar one time and that was when the ROC stuff over here was drying up I found a nice stack of mantis attack crafts . so I bought 8 of them kept 4 for myself and sent the others to I think a few tankers here for trades more then anyting else and they woulda been one for one trade. ie awe striker for mantis . same line vehicle different wave . that sorta thing

From a hobby standpoint, it doesn't work. Look at baseball cards, comics etc. The old gems command a price because they are rare. New stuff floods the market. Some things become rare because they have a limited release. Some hoard them up to make a quick buck and for awhile everyone clamors to get one. Fast forward two/three years, the demand goes away, the price drops and people lose interest. They stop buying new stuff, companies stop producing it cause sales are down, and the hobby dies. Maybe I'm just paranoid though.
