hmm....interesting topic....
well the way i see it, vintage toys have values because of the generation who treasures them....
i mean all those cool chogos,super sentai shows, TFs, Starcom, Mask, Mospeada, Macross, etc....happened in the 70's & 80's and it is mostly (but not all) kids from that generation that appreciates vintage toys because of the sentimental values it holds...
Probably in another 10-20 years time, ppl attending macross conventions could very well be old farts with valks OCD.
and www.ben10world.com would be the coolest hang out place.....
"OMG, did u know the Ben 10 alien force V1 action figures are selling for 5000K on ebay?"......"whoa".....
