I would honestly discourage anybody from buying them for re-sale value because it's too hard to predict the aftermarket. Funko releases way too many figures and they tend to have large runs (even the Hikari, Funko's sofubi line that's supposed to have a designer vinyl thing going for it, was doing runs between 500 and 2,000).

Because of things like that, even a lot of the rare ones tend to not be super expensive. And while I'm sure that there's a Beanie Baby culture around some of them, enough people got burned by Beanie Babies that I expect we won't see the same kind of silly evaluations across the board. Granted, there *are* some supposedly expensive ones, but those tend to be con exclusives, not pre-order bonuses.

I do own a few con exclusives (ones that went to other retailers like B&N and Hot Topic after the fact), but nothing too crazy. I will admit that I bought the Iron Throne more because of a perceived rarity than simply for liking it, although amusingly enough I took it out of its box almost immediately whereas a lot of the others have been displayed MIB.

I think the only ones where I would want to buy everything of would be Star Wars original trilogy stuff. I definitely want an R2D2 one. Hell I'd like anything R2D2 related. I really want an R2D2 coffee mug. That iron throne one really does look cool too. The one I mentioned earlier is a Glowing One from Fallout 4 which I think also glows in the dark.

It's also been mentioned that Feige is currently doing tons of research on the X-Men so he can pick out which ideas to use and which to avoid, so Disney has strong motivation to keep him from getting distracted working on Spider-Man for Sony.

I hope they recast Evan Peters as Quicksilver if they make more X-Men movies.
