If you have about 60 Blade figures though, you could probably sell them for enough to buy a new car.
I passed on blade a couple of times. Just don't care for that fig. But you're right about the hype. If you want to sell for max profit you have to strike while the irons hot know whats popular and sell to the need to have it now crowd.

Some of the old stuff is 1000's of dollars for just 1 figure, give it time and you will see your investment grow. But it's not going to happen over night and your MU stock may go up or down, but the longer you wait the sweeter the rewards maybe. I was reading an article about a guy who bought a rare video game on ebay for $14,000 turns out it was even more rare then the seller even knew and the guy who bought it tuned around and relisted it with more accurate historical information and got $210,000! If you truely want to see the future for MU watch ML.
I don't agree that in 30-40 years these things will be worth what the toys of the 60's and 70's are worth today. back then there was no such thing as collectors. No one kept anything in the box toys were meant to be played with so they were. That's why there worth so much in good condition. Starting with the 90's people started holding on to everything MOC. Take the SW POTF line. Big hype and prices out of the gate and now you can't give them away. There making too many MU figs and we are keeping them MOC so they will never be as rare as out parents toys.
