Normally I'm not into telling people what they should collect (what I collect is better than what you collect), but for those prices, someone could pick up 3 slabbed CGC 9.6 Star Wars 42s with the first pamphlet appearance of Boba Fett. Or they could buy 10 or so 1st appearance of Boba Fett in the Marvel Illustrated Version of The Empire Strikes Back. I know if I had a choice between the 2, I would buy the 35 year old key instead of the new variant where Boba Fett is only on the cover.
Exactly.
This book is in for some major regression.
You could buy any of the various Star Wars 1 variants featuring Fett on the cover, with similar or lower print runs, for less than the cost of this book right now.
You guys are forgetting the completionist factor for those that are collecting the action figure variants. That has a lot to do with it.
There aren't 3000 or 5000 people trying to do that. Especially not if it requires paying 80 or 100 dollars for one of the books.
i dont know... you guys have to factor in that a lot of people that buy star wars comics arent even comic collectors... theres a lot of people at my LCS that the stars wars books are the only comics they own/buy... star wars collectors are intense... now factor in all the people that collect star wars toys... now they have a comic with toys on the cover... i think you maybe under estimating the number of people that want these...
