I don't see it that way. Sure, there's inflation but we're not talking about gold or some landed property. The figure, whilst great is just like any other consumable asset, like cars. It will:
1. Deteriorate over time, no matter how good one keeps it
2. Colors will fade
3. Technology will be improved e.g. articulation which will render the old model obsolete once the new version is issued.
Of course, this is just from an outsider (non-collector) perspective. I've seen the values of some old models of Hot Toys go to WTF
prices, so in terms of supply and demand, there's still (limited?) demand even at very high prices. I wouldn't pay at those prices though, couldn't afford to either.
Having said all that, I still find it hard to resist.
Well said bro.. But i'm referring to the inflation of money - The general increase of price over time.. Not the appreciation of value of the figure.. RM1 now may not be worth RM1 in a few years time.. How i miss those days where u can buy an ice cream for only 20 cents 1. Deteriorate over time, no matter how good one keeps it

Just imagine if HT were around in the 80s.. It would have cost only RM50 each
