What do you think will happen with prices when the collectors like us (people that actually played with these toys as children) have moved on? Comics have continued to rise in price even though the collectors that bought them as Children are no longer around will Star Wars be the same or nosedive?
its worth mentioning im 25, i guess im a second generation collector, or third generation if you see its as:
first: the kids who were lucky enough to buy and play with the toys new
second:those who started collecting during "the dark times" of the nineties when star wars was dead
third:those, myself included who started collecting since the prequels newer films released, driving all this hype everyone is talking about.
i like to think i have at least 60 years in me yet, which should give me plenty of time to track down the last eleven loose figures i need at non mental prices and start on the ships and play sets. i have no plans to stop collecting or change my area of interest, and have been collecting six or seven years, since my late teens. so no, i don't think once the older collectors start dropping like flies or put in homes it'll go back to nineties prices since the next generation will keep going. just my ten pence
