<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 159515, member: 23"]I could use Star Wars figures as another example. The ones made for the first movies were fewer in quantity and better in quality so they are more valuable. People who got into collecting them after the "prequel" movies came out are buying figures that were produced in larger quantities and not as detailed so they currently aren't worth as much. Also, in the past two decades, more people started collecting and keeping the figures in the original boxes on display so they didn't get played with and lost like the older ones. That means there are even fewer of the old ones in good to mint condition, another bump up in value for the ones that remain.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my nephews collected and he had a break-in and lost all his original ones.
