In regards to depreciation of value of the items. Keep in mind what you are buying your figures for. For your own collection or to sell? Remember, despite depreciating in value you can still use your phone. A HT is not a mobile phone. It is a high end collectable that may or may not appreciate in value.

If you're keeping for yourself, whether the figure drops in value doesn't really matter because you purchase it solely because you love it.

If you're buying for goreng, beware, not many people are going to fork out a lot of money for something that already costs a lot money! lol!

If you're talking limited versions, your chances are fairly high. But the mass produce one? Chances slim because most die hard collectors already bought theirs.

Better take care before taking the plunge buddy.

for collectibles item actually it's depends to market demands..i never have a HT before but i'm talking from my experience of collecting Transformers..u might found a case, buy today RM100, next year the price will be more than RM150 and sometime u get it at RM100 but u can't even sell it at RM50

as Duke Beard said..u are buying for u'r own collection or for re-sell satisfaction of buying / owning the toys is PRICELESS

Damn you guys are fast. Lol. Well said Duke Beard. Earlier on i wanted to collect all those limited edition figures only where the are X number of pieces in the world but I worried then when the time comes, I wont be willing to sell them. I have loved figure since a long long time ago, remember back the day when i wanted a Kamen rider figurine and couldnt afford it. As now i am a uni student and doing part time, so got spare cash to spare. So I am still thinking what actually I wanna get but definately from HT cuz i realise they really do detail figures. The Gun Metal Edition for Iron Man looks really slick but unfortunately i cant find them on XL website.

Anyway, where u guys buy yr figures other than XL website? Online retailers at garage sales dont have?

i learned my lesson the hard way from last year XL sales. bought few 12" figures and got another 12" free. thought of bringing back MJ and wolverine to NZ hoping to make some extra pocket money... to my surprise none of those kiwis over here willing to spend huge $$$ on 12". in the end i sold off both MJ and wolverine at a loss! so my advice is check your locality before decide anything

Ya was reading back posts where u were so excited to get yr Wolverine. how come u sold? Anyway i guess i wont be in the business of buying and selling, i just wanna buy for my own pleasure now . only will be able to get 1 for this year lol since all the toys are around 600. gotta choose wisely

you can still pre-order WM and MkIV at XL ESG. The last outlet to have a few pre-order slots left.

wish to get mark3 tony's head...hehe

i bought 2 wolverines mah still have 1 in my showcase cabinet in seremban which off course not for sale

alright but may i know where is the shop? thanks

anyway guys with the MMS DX dark knight still facing the oily leak ah? any other problem besides the oil leak?
i read few posts back the thing starts to crack at the kneecap there. looks like my roommate also poison by me. lol

Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang Jaya .... XL's outlet near/opposite Toy's R US.... a LYF member here manage/works there

buy one ONLY for this year ...... I think you better not go into this hobby...why? impossible to buy one fig for one year...

The full specs for Mk. IV is still not shown yet... We still have yet to see the head sculpt, donuts, real removable chest plate/ arm missles...... I was hoping for pop up micro-munations on Mk. 4 as well. There is also the expected Mk. 6.... that may trump Mk. 4 or not......
