[QUOTE="gammoguard, post: 542865, member: 9298"] There's also the ebay flippers who aren't interested in the item only its worth to someone else. My missus collected a monthly release of Mickey plush then a couple of years later a Minnie plush and its now a Stitch plush. The difference to collecting at the start of Mickey to the Stitch plush is an eye opener. When the Mickey plush came into stores in January 2018 you could walk into the store 2 weeks after release and pick one up off the shelf for £24. As the year went on the interest grew so more people queued at store opening and then numbers were limited per customer. By the time December came round January Mickey was exchanging hands for £450 :shock: :shock: Fast forward to now and the Stitch collection sells out in about 10 SECONDS and most are straight on ebay for £70 which only drives the price up for the collectors. Nothing can be done to stop this now so genuine collectors like us will always pay over the odds now :cry: [/QUOTE]
