I used to Collect Mighty Max from when it was on shelves til a few years ago when i sold my entire off card collection sans a few that wanted to keep. I hate to say it but it was a good decision because the bottom has fallen out of the mighty max market and though the value for rare items has gone up there is no demand due to no reboots or new versions or even a DVD release. So a lot of the really rare production stuff is what the hardcore collectors want. Unproduced hand painted prototypes, card art official materials, etc... So even the most rare off the shelf mighty max arent as popular as they could be and the value has fallen steeply because collectors all have what they want or are only looking for very specific stuff. I honestly am happy to have some modern repros of vintage toys Like the Bandai 1/55 Valkyries and encore transformers more than vintage stuff that is difficult to handle due to age and wear. So i'll keep my small collection of Mighty Max stuff and just enjoy that along with my modern mecha toys which i can play with with little guilt. Pic related its my complete retail loose collection everything that was on shelves at least

his comment is so bad it gave me cancer. rather than just call you out on the same arguments i'll give an example.

Wanna know why most modern western toy lines are doomed to obscurity and shit value? i used to have one of the BIGGEST Mighty Max collections at least in the US (at least 3rd for sure) This was 100% complete on and off card, color variations rare packaging the works. After a while I sold it bit by bit over the years to pay for college and bills and waning interest. And i noticed something about the buying and selling habits of western collector markets.

Most of them shrink and are very niche. You are right to a certain extent about how a one off toy may become super rare due to lack of demand or an oddity. but this can happen to anything. what happens 99% of the time is any regular merchandise is bought up by smaller and smaller circles of collectors. and because nobody took them out of the box the market gets flooded with duplicates that gradually increase in price as the market for them shrinks due to age and obscurity (in this case older star wars toys/transformers that arent the originals (does anyone give a shit about unicron trilogy toys not from japan, or anything from the 90s POTF2 line?) will suffer this.

Meanwhile Japanese companies makes small numbers of better quality items aimed at collectors that don't blow fucking dogs for quarters. look at Yamatos Ingrams or Macross stuff. or Busou Shinki a line which is made of "flavor of the month pedo bait" whose entire line is now at 6x normal value. Hell, just open up the metal build thread on this very board to see how one fucking exclusive now goes for 2 grand. however this forced rarity and high price also makes it hard for newcomers to get into the hobbies and causes elitism. and yeah a lot fall ot "flavor of the month syndrome for sure"

TL;DR
Neither is superior.

Western toys are overbought and over speculated

Japanese toys are Overpriced and underproduced.

BOTH SUCK
