Yeah, I think you may be right there but then again it does not matter what it's worth but only what someone is willing to pay! Even now you can see some of the Big Chief figures on ebay, asking for 1000 Dollar as they are sold out and rare to find. And they are only a few years old. Some desperate people then pay that insane price. It is not right.
Even my small Stargate figures, which did originally cost 15 Dollars, go for 100 and more Dollars now. As I only recently started to buy the small Star Trek figures, I also had to pay quite a lot for some that are rare.
There are people who never take them out of the boxes, as they will be evem more worth if they are mint in package. But I want to play and have fun. I don't care about the value. Although I won't take my expensive figures to travels with me. I only use the cheap toy versions for that. Originally I had planned to take Sherlock and John to London but thought better of it.
It is quite an addictive hobby. I think I may have to buy the Victorian Sherlock and John figures as well ;)
I do worry what happens when I am old though. I should find a new lovely home for them, not that they simply get thrown away. That would be sad.
