>>5914959Thats an unfair comparison, because Marvel Selects are also very easy to get and go down in price too.
It's only old stuff that goes up in price and only because they lost the molds.
Almost all western collector toys are like that, because you can preorder them and theyre available just about any comic book store in the US, if not Barnes and Noble, Disney Store, and weird Hastings/Suncoast/Mediaplay stores that sell a mix of junk.
The only western toys that are hard to get and go up in price easily are those that are made in the hundreds of thousands and millions, like Marvel Legends or Star Wars toys. They go for so much money because of how random stores at getting stock.
If every store got their 50 cases they ordered on the same day, they'd be no ahrd to get toys See most movie lines before 2012*.
addendum: first and second waves were usually easy to get, because they literally had tons and tons and later waves were hard to get because of all the shelfwarmers clogging up shelves.
