>>7222581>You picked a good time to get into collecting; it's a golden age for toys right now.We're in a retraction period right now.
Not as many lines are being made anymore, waves are smaller than ever, and availability is at an all time low with TRU gone and collector companies scrambling to get their stuff up in other stores.
Prices are also going up too, especially for import toys, since they're not selling as good as they used to.
The only companies seeing actual growth are indie lines, like with kickstarter.
Golden age would be the 80s, when toylines were mostly original and getting their own cartoons.
Highest time for the modern era was probably 2009-2013. After that, there's an noticeable decline in quality or features being taken away, plus the rising costs of toys.
You can't get awesome shit like this anymore without paying out the ass.
