Gentei literally means "limited" in Japanese, its the word for "limited" and it is indeed and pricey.So I preordered one too.

The market for them is very small, and the cache of people willing to mortgage their house for one is still smallerWhen the economy goes down, as it is now, that market is going to crack that much further as a result. Hard to justify to your wife why you're sending the kids to public school so that you can afford that Botcon seeker you've had your eye on
Autorant off: Sorry, that just comes over me at time
Preordered him. I'm really enjoying how Hasbro and Takara are taking the ball and running with it on relatively minor characters. Its really very spiffy...I just hope his targetmaster has some colors Other than yellow

Onto the subject at hand, an investment to my mind should be something that has real value. The simple fact is that an action figure molded of blue plastic has no more or less intrinsic value than one cast of red plastic. The only reason why the blue one is 500 dollars, is because people in the market are driving the price up...and I think the term we should use in describing that is a 'bubble'. Eventually, if this recession deepens, people will prioritize buying food and gas over the blue ones for 500 dollars. When that occurs persons wanting to sell it for 500 dollars will be out of luck, and the price will go down.
Admittingly anything you invest in carries associated risks, but I'm not betting my retirement on these.
Personally, I just wish people would stop inflating the bubble, and just accept that these are toys, not investments. I don't see it happening...but thats my two cents.

People come here to talk about their hobby and collections, not to receive unsolicited financial feedback. If people choose to buy figures for potential resale, that's their business. And I doubt there are too many, if any, people here who have bet their retirement on future values of figures and collectibles.

It's all Henkei-a-go-go up in my crib.

So far, the only exclusive that I don't have from the Univers/Cls/Henkei line is Breakdown, and I miiight bite...later. But the fact that he looks so much like SG HotRod turned me off to the figure and price tag. Wait...I didn't pick up the Henkei TC+SW, but I already have the us version and Botcon's.
