It's interesting about stamp collecting - something I know nothing about . I find prices for odd figures vary dramatically , from the cheap to the ridiculous - you just have to keep your eyes open for the bargains .The Good Soldier Svjekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749564052124659180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692496090753269860.post-26349671401802735962022-07-29T06:50:06.432-07:002022-07-29T06:50:06.432-07:00Tony, thats a lovely find, well spotted.

Forget collector's values, they won't hold and will likely collapse in the near future, just as it has already with stamp collections, a massive drop from the 1970s. Its all to do with Demographics. So, these figures will only survive if they are still attractive to future generations, and their prices will still drop. Concerning coin collecting, its the precious metal content that has seen any real increases. Anyhow, as a wargamer, I want my collection to look good on the table. Hope this doesn't appear negative. <br />MichaelMGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063536309395034188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692496090753269860.post-75878723721824760652022-07-27T11:11:54.256-07:002022-07-27T11:11:54.256-07:00Yes I got lucky.

It depends if you want to keep it purely as a collectible or as a decent looking figure. Ironically, even a nice paintjob will devalue it in monetary terms but not less than what you picked the figure up for.Quantrilltoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03824237942276969880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692496090753269860.post-79227138303465964532022-07-25T13:51:55.895-07:002022-07-25T13:51:55.895-07:00Could he possibly be the long-lost son of the Walk...Could he possibly be the long-lost son of the Walkers?
