[QUOTE="ScruffyLookingNH, post: 380658, member: 6563"] Absolutely. My mate was importing the POTFII figures from their initial release to well into the Freeze Frame editions. I used to drive him around the shows as he couldn't drive. I'd take my vintage spares along and pick up a few pieces as and when I found them (12" Stormtrooper for £2 and beautiful ROTJ Power Droid MOC for £16 are a couple of pieces I remember in particular!). He was charging £25 when the DV removable helmet Freeze Frame figure came out. Took about 120 to Memorabilia in '98 (I think it was?) and sold out. It was insane. And some earlier pieces from '97 were seeing daft price increases. Look what's happened to that market now. Same sort of thing was happening with the quad posters. I picked up a Episode I teaser poster (still have it and still love it despite the film) from a high profile dealer (still very much around) who was selling them out of the back of his van (he had 10s, if not 100s of them) for about £20 or £30. I recall at the time they were doing nearer £50 when you could find them. Again, I'm sure they're a lot less now. Although just looked on ebay and can't find one, sold, unsold or listed..... [/QUOTE]
