Re: Collect or Play? Investment or Display?

The only things I have in boxes are those that I don't have the space to display at this time, and I might rotate to them at some point, or they are duplicates as backup should I break my original that's out.

I play with mine all the time, but I never have enough time to play with all of them.. life sucks.

They are toys, meant to play with, but some see them as decorations and never touch them aside cleaning them, never understood that, I don't get why not just get statues or actual display pieces instead?

And as far as investment goes, the market is saturated with "collectibles" and "collectors" which has devalued so much, that and the people that only exist to try and drive prices up (scalpers and the likes).

I have stuff from the 70s that I believed would pick up value.. and none really did. Heck I've considering doing a cleanup and doing a massive sales at some point, and I don't believe that I'll come close to what they are "worth" as it's not just a case of the prices you see on eBay, but to find actual buyers... unless it's sold, it's worth nothing more than what you paid.
