I guess the thrill of the hunt for that more limited toy is the real pleasure for me. Having collected sports cards for years, I understand that we do this for the fun, thrills and friendships that come out of the collecting community, not as a retirement fund.

Any other comments/advice are welcomed.

honestly, i wouldn't take resale value into consideration at all.

just collect what you like, and more likely than not, most of what you acquire will have some resale value.

you may not get the highest return on something, but at the end of the day, you acquire enough stuff, you'll be able to make a decent amount back.

most of the higher end figures will raise in value. so, the way i see it, just get what you enjoy, and being able to get any money back for them will be a bonus.

and this is obvious, but make sure you don't break or lose anything.
