Can someone please explain when and why Tri Logo MOCs became more desirable than Kenner MOCs?
This is not ment to stir emotions up, just a question that has been bugging me for a year or so now.
When I first collected MOCs (1980/90) the ones to go for were the Kenner ones, you almost couldn't give a TL away, if there was a choice everyone went for the Kenner ones.
I only ever had TL MOCs of figures that I could not afford to by on a Kenner card.
I don't know why this was, for me the bubble condition was nearly always better, and the figure seemed to "fit" the bubble on a Kenner card. Where as on a TL the figure would be rattling around in a bubble that was often too big, and the bubbles often damaged even back then.
Having been out of collecting for 15 years the whole collecting thing has been turned around and TL are prefered to Kenner.
Is this because of Kenner's yellowing bubbles or is it a case that the TL are rarer so more desirable, or have I tottaly got it wrong!
I can understand the Palitoy ones with the logo on the front being very desirable and rarer, but again why are Palitoy ones without a logo on prefered over Kenner ones, I can't remember anyone caring back then?
Is this just a taste thing, as there is no logo on the card front?
Just wondering when all this changed and why?
