[QUOTE="monkey_roo, post: 124140, member: 2414"] I would love a specific Modern sales section (or something like that). Having recently sold some modern stuff here I do think there is a place for it and while the bulk of the stuff is 'nice' but not particularly valuable there is a subset of modern as mentioned, like the convention and US retail store exclusives that are designed specifically for collectors and are valuable and in some case becoming as costly as some vintage stuff. Try finding a 2007 Legacy Collection Millennium Falcon for less than £150 (last one I saw in forbidden planet was £215, even if you remove his mark up you are around the £150/£175 mark, can’t even find one on evilbay) that’s more than a vintage one. Of course it is all relative, so if you don't like modern stuff to begin with, it is worthless, but as a SW fan overall the modern lines have allowed me to collect figures/ships/sets etc. that Kenner were never able to produce as the technology just wasn’t there for them and the specific collectors pieces are done very well (this year’s comic con set for example). Anyway, always happy to stand up for the modern line, of course the hypocrisy of my stance is that I am selling a lot (not all) of my modern stuff to fund a bit of vintage buying, (although I am not selling either of my legacy falcons, they’re for my kids when they are bit older).
