Hey guys,
I didn't read a topic on this before, but I want to hear your comment about that. The 25th ann. figs are different from the vintage. You may like them or not (I'm still on the vintage figs) but they have a different size and mold. BUT, the 25th ann. vehicles are pretty much the same as the vintage one, with the characteristics of been:
- improved,
- not expensive,
- complete,
- in box,
- with filecard,
- brand new (no wear, no stress mark, etc.),
- not broken,
- not rusty,
- not dusty from storage.
Why would you pay $20 for a vintage RAM, $40 for a vintage VAMP, $80 for a vintage Rattler when you can get them half price for a very very very similar version?
I sold pretty much all my vehicles 5 years ago... I still have a Skyhawk, APC, ASP, Flak and some SNAKEs. Now, with the new 25th ann. line, I bought a lot of vehicles for more than half price I sold my vintage.
Do you think the price of vintage vehicles will (or already) collapse? Are you scared to see the next new vehicules Hasbro will introduce on the market? I know, collecting toys in more than an acquisition cost. But when you paid 1 year ago a Stinger Jeep $60, and you now know you will be able to get a brand new one very soon for what... $19.99? it is sometime frustrating...
What do you think?
