Biggest collectors Item...

Stridex · #1 02-20-2003, 04:19 PM

In your opinion, which micro will be worth the most down the road? Not just the brand (i.e. Microsizer, ZipZap) but the make and model. Something that is actually/or was on the market.

Don't say the Bit Char-G prototype. :P

Here's my opinion, but I want to hear everyones opinion and why.

I think the original Zips that are now off the market will be worth the most. Here's why....their numbers are a lot lower then Bit's and Sizers. Thousands of people wanted them, yet couldn't find them or weren't willing to pay the ebay prices which I don't blame them, but now they're gone. I'm using this theory because of what happened with my Star Wars collection. The most expensive action figure from the original Star Wars movie is the Hammerhead figure from the bar scene. Why? Because they made very few of them, but it wasn't popular. Now you see my confusion.

Let's hear what you think.

We're at the beginning stages of a technology that is only going to get better. Which car is going to bring all us oldtimers to the auction block in 40 years?

zipzaps are junk. thousands of people wanted them because they didnt know any better.

Thanks once again for sticking to the thread topic Hogjozz.

EDIT: C'mon, then tell us what clone you think will be worth more.

I've heard the most valuable, and collectable mini RC is the Bit Char-G Disney Bus, that was only sold in the Disneyland Japan gift shop. last one I saw was going for 150 bucks.

i am. i was debating your opinion that people are gona remember those things as being good.

i imagine the automodelista set and the mario ones and speed racer will be worth the most when we are all rubbing the ben gay on our hands to be able to squeeze the buttons on our controllers.

Strange Cars

Anyone see these before besides the Disney Bus?

i think that bit char-g car that they only made 50 of will be most valuable since you couldnt buy it. so lots of people want it but never got the chance to buy it.

You mean that Toyota Voltz or Pontiac Vibe Bit? That was also a promo in Japan.

what about the xbox bit?

hogjowlz · #10 02-20-2003, 05:37 PM

look at the baseball card and comic market. they came out with so many collectible items that they brought that market down around themselves.

with these things i dont think they will ever go up in value because in two years there will be something 10x better and your current cars will be collecting dust under your couch. i run my cars until they die and then go buy another one. well i usually buy that other one before the last car dies because i cant help myself.

I think that they made more Xbox Bits. They're pretty expensive though.

The local hooby store here sold that sub

I think these will be worth nothin in the future
think of beanie babies
people were spending 2k a pop on some of them, just to have them be worth 3 bucks within a few months

stridex: theres a good chance any clone that is 35 40 45 and 57mhz will be worth the most since you cant legally import them into the us.

If you understand Disney collectables. The Disney Resort Cruiser will be listed. Disney holds to there word. Once there number is meet, either my mfg only that number or pulled from the shelfs and destroy. Disney knows how to make only a certain number out there.
