Thinking about it, the only line I
haven't
seen drop in prices when a quality modern line is on shelves is G1 Transformers, they've always been expensive. Most of my Joe buying was done during the ME boom, and outside of the rare stuff, prices were pretty good. At the height of my collection, I had LOADS of v1 Vipers, all complete and pretty nice, and I wouldn't pay over $12 as a rule for a single one. Conversely, in the early days (new sculpt) I'd have to shell out an average of $18 -$20, and they've gone beyond even that now. A new product drought is good for vintage product speculation.

Thanks man, me too.
I'd actually half wondered if you were still holding as I was making this thread. I'll look it over and drop you a line!
