interesting. This same scenario played out in 1999-2001ish, with wall street in a bit of a panic about dotcoms and toy companies panicking about video games, as they are in 2012. They jumped up the prices in 2000, thinking parents and collectors "will just buy them anyway" and it came back and bit them in their asses. Almost every major retailer had intense clearance sales in 2001 and scaled back almost every line.

And then in 2002, we saw a HUGE price *decrease* across the board... first Hasbro then Mattel followed suit... As well as a huge quality decrease as well.
