[QUOTE="SOJ, post: 446022, member: 5526"] But haven't the figures being discussed so far always had a certain premium attached to them due to demand? I know when I started collecting loose around 2000 Luke FB, Leia Organa were +£20 figures. The last 17 were always expensive. I paid £70 for my Yak Face in 2001 which in today's money probably is face off what being asked for one today. Spending that much on a figure for me back then was a big deal. Before the boom in 1999 I can only imagine prices were even less for these figures. I took a break between 2007 and 2011. When I came back it felt like prices haden't move much at all. And hadn't really moved much from 2000. In that decade between 2000 and 2011 my earnings more than doubled. Regards today's prices for these figures you have to hope that between the after glow of TFA fading and disney pumping out a movie every year plus inflation of over time these new prices will become acceptable and more affordable. What I'm trying to say is although the prices seem high today in 10 years time maybe they will be a lot more agreeable but the same figures will always have high demand. Between Facebook and Brexit though I might be completely wrong on this. [/QUOTE]
