These figures are worth as much as you paid. This reminds me of the convention exclusive Mquarrie yoda and obi wa & R2 C3PO. they were going for $100 for both when they came out, now i see them for $10. I would wait a while untill people start getting theirs in. Like anything, it starts out limited then hasbro floods the market. Like the snake eyes and timber i paid $40 for that i see now for $12 woops!

Too true, worth really is in the buyer's hand. I wouldn't use the Mcquarrie yoda and Obi as an example though. I think the reason they're so cheap is because no one liked them (I base that assumption on the fact that HTS still had them for sale months after the con, while all the other exclusives were sold out within a day or less)

A bit from my childhood plays the theme "Silver and Gold" from Rudolph.

For the most part I agree with you. I do think Doc is/will be worth $50 or so
I do have to say though, that while CoverGirl is rumored, Tripwire is rumored as well and I haven't heard one thing about Airborne, so Doc doesn't come close to finishing up the 83 series. I think Doc and PDD will probably be about the same. Both are limited exclusives, PDD did see another run of figures made, but I'm willing to bet that Doc had more figures made in total. Also it's not unheard of for Hasbro to do a second run of Mail in figures (I believe they did that with the Unmasked Storm Shadow) or to release an exclusive at retail later on. This happend twice that I know of in Star Wars. Once with B'Omarr (Spider droid with a human brain) and recently with the Emporer's guard comic two pack Hasbro has confirmed the Tripwire comic pack will be coming out and dalayed until early next year in one of the Q&As. Also, Airborne is being made, just look at the Hasbro list, he is the 59th figure on the list as "Sgt. Airborne". Here is the list for series two, Excluding the Clutch repaint in tan, Cover Girl is the only one left. Maybe you see something different, if so, please explain. • Airborne (Confirmed as wave 10 or 11 by hasbro) X Destro (In Stores) • Doc (Mail-In) X Gung-Ho (In Stores) • Major Bludd (Wave 8) X Snow Job (In Stores) X Torpedo (In Stores) • Tripwire (Comic pack wave 5) Vehicle Drivers: X Ace (In Stores) • Cover Girl (Rumored and on cover of the Hiss box) • Grand Slam (silver pads) • Grunt (tan) • H.I.S.S.Driver (Wave 7) X Viper Pilot (In Stores) • Wild Bill (Wave 7) Mail-Ins X Duke (In Stores) |

i paid 10 bucks for my gold and silver destros from a scalper right after the convention. wish i'd purchased 20 gold destros lol. i remember when i bought them i wasn't sure which one would be more valuable because they were both super dope, i waited and than the price went beserk. i wonder how much that cobra commander at podium is going to be worth? i'm not going to chase that one, if i get it cool, if not it's all good, i was never able to get the piper figure, wasn't willing to pay the mark up

Look at what some people have paid on ebay to be the first to have wave 7 figures. I don't think that in the future we will see a Spirit selling for $40 or a Hiss Driver going for $60. But Doc on the other hand will not be available at retail in the next few weeks. In the long run, like all collectables, he will be worth what someone is willing to pay for him. I do think you would be wise to wait a month or so before bidding on one, however this could backfire too. I remember passing on some $75-95 Gold PDD's last year convinced that they would be cheaper down the road.
