Slightly but nothing to get excited about.

I predict over time, the plastic PVC whatevers will become nasty and sticky and finding a good condition piece will be difficult.

It's hard to say. Kind of a double edge sword. You look at the club exclusives and value goes up because of limited runs. But, we are at a point where no one wants to make limited runs. At least not regularly. So the only way to get figures is mass marketing. I'm hoping this line is still in its infancy, and it grows substantially. If that is the case, I definitely see figures in the first couple years going up in value. Especially if later runs sell more figures. If the fan base widens. As it sits right now, we're on that boarder of barely enough for everyone. Which isn't a bad place. Everything gets sold, more figures are made, everyone can order what they want.
So, if they grow the brand, value will probably go up. If it stays level, I don't think so, because we all already have them. Sometimes these things are cyclical as well. Maybe 10 years from now there is a big pop culture push. That could increase value on a lot of brands. |

I also noticed discoloring of plastic isn't necessarily due to temperature. All mine have been temperature controlled and a few still got some discoloration over the years. I looked at my Cover Girl recently and was like damn, when did her head turn yellow? |

I'd say the base troop builders will probably increase in value over time

Quite possible due to army building. |

I think the cobra island Target exclusives will go up again eventually, and some of the other exclusives as well. The regular release guys are gonna be even real I'd guess.

I agree with this completely.

Target's CI exclusive won't lose their value, I don't think we'll get re-issues of those figures like the WM line so I expect figures like Bludd to climb in price.

This is an interesting question. When I was collecting MOTUC, I started late. People told me that once the line was finished all of the figures would crash in value and it would be easy to catch up. I didn't believe them so I grabbed as much as I could, paying between retail or a bit above for everyone except Shadow Weaver and Whiplash.
Well, MOTUC has ended and the figures' value has skyrocketed. You would have to spend a fortune for these figures, even the Super7 ones. So, yes, I think Classified will increase in value at some point. Maybe not like O-ring originals, but certainly in line with something like MOTUC.
