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.
That's good to know then, maybe I'll unload some of my ML's then, as I do like the MU's a lot better, and don't care if the value of them drop since I got 80% from retail to begin with and half the time on sale.
