I'm not pointing out anyone or wagging a finger, I'm just stating what I've seen during the last 20 years which really have been a "golden age" of nostalgic collectibles. I got lambasted for buying First Gokin Krang a few years ago. "Why spend money on a fake when Classics will be releasing Krang". Now some of these same people have offered me $300+ if I'd sell mine. I've seen similar things happen with several other brands. It's the "Big Yellow Taxi" syndrome.

Great investment on that Krang, huge. I should have snapped that up. I was picky about the way it looked and the price and now it's like what the hell was I thinking!
I feel like it's going to be like that with the Super7 stuff. A lot of people seem uninterested but it could be a big one down the line.
