Of course my parents <i>really</i> paid for most of them. It was somewhere between the release of the 1st and 3rd "prequels" when hype seemed fierce over the series in general. My timing seemed good because everything I put on Ebay ended in violent bidding wars. Even pieces of cardboard went for 4 times my asking price. I couldn't believe it. Did I make the right decision? In hindsight it sure seems so, but who knows if the toys will see another resurgence? The point is that one may think they have picked a good time, but who knows if a yet better time will occur? You can spend your entire life waiting for such "perfect" moments. They rarely come. And if they did, you probably wouldn't know it until years later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
