That really depends: display or open, for investment or enjoyment?

The Joes are for future display and enjoyment/nostalgia.
The set of 3 ROTJ figs are for nostalgia/investment. The Luke Skywalker is the "crown jewel" I've been wanting since I started collecting but someday it may pay for my kids college education...nostalgia/investment...

Sound like you should go for the Luke.
Go after the figure that you won't be able to get again soon. The joes will still be around, and it really sounds like Luke is important to ya.

I'd say if you care so much in investment you should probably actually invest. Toys are a really shitty idea if you're trying to make your money grow.

Yeah, you'll never make back what you spent on them. Buy the ones that suit you're fancy.
Ha, fancy.

Yeah, put it in a 401K, if you have one. Buy it if you want to reward your hard work. Don't buy it as an investment.

Voted for joes, but after reading your response, get what your heart wants...the Luke.
