I would say that toy collector have spend more lately. However, with few new figures coming out, even though the ones that are coming out are pricey, the model collectors will be the ones paying more in the near future. How many new toys do we even have coming out?
1/48 GBP
1/48 GBP w/ VF-1K
1/100 Monster
1/60 Monster
1/100 Macross Zero
1/72 VF-19 FP (in our dreams only)
Anything else?
If not, that's less $1K USD.
