Depends. I find the only ones of the last decade to do really well across the board (meaning: significantly more than retail) are the Binaltechs from Japan, Masterpiece line, as they are diecast, and the Classics/Generations. The vintage ones, it's all about completeness and condition.

I've gone in and out of Marvel over the years- it's best to sell them while they're hot. There hasn't really been a line that holds its retail value longer than 5 years- they re-boot the line and fans usually only pay a premium for current new stuff, or classic old stuff (say, Mego). Like, right now, MU are at their peak so to speak, ML are on the decline, with few exceptions. The time to cash out is now on MU if you're on the fence. There are a few which buck this tradition (like some of the Toy Biz exclusives, and a few of the variant MLs, are quite expensive and rarely up for sale) but for the most part, comic fans are fickle and only really pay significant premiums when something is first released.
