But it would be nice to make a huge profit on my MIB G1 Optimus Prime.

Phantom Menace did raise the prices for SW vintage initially; by Christmas of the same year, the prices had fallen through the floor. I should know; I lost over $4K on my vintage investment selling out that year. So many people had trashed Jar-Jar and Co., that no one wanted the things anymore.
If the movie is good, we can expect a price spike in the summer, and a steady increase on 'cornerstone' pieces like Optimus and Megs. If the movie is very bad, then we'll see a summer price hike, followed by a glut of collectors selling out over the remainder of the year.

Oh I am not saying that the price hike would stay, as always it weens off after time (I should have added that in my original post... mybad).

People saying the figures are basically perfect and you get them and they're totally all loose except for the parts that have screws (which were obviously tightened) that barely move at all (because they were tightened too much).
I love reissues as they are basically the same figure for all intents and purposes and don't have these same problems (for the most part).
So, yeah, it can be frustrating, but I usually can find a pose or stance to put even the loosest transformer in on my shelf that I like. Somtimes I have to cheat a bit and use some hidden item to keep it 100% (even though the auction said it was perfect condition).
I guess the other part is it's hard to give negative feedback as in most cases they did send what they said they would and especially if they used C9 or something, it's all kind of open to interpretation...
