Maybe I read into your comment too much that 'movie toys won't appreciate well' thinking you were referring to the entire line I was just pointing out that some already have

As long as the franchise stays popular here shouldn't be significant depreciation either.

All my opinion of course :-)
Today's toys will be the vintage toys of tomorrow. Well, maybe not tomorrow, but in 30 years time they will be There will always be someone looking to reacquire the toys that they had as a kid so the demand will be there. In the grand scheme of things, the movies were, for better or worse, huge and big money spinners for Hasbro. We already know that there were people like us 30 years ago collecting Transformers for the mere purpose of leaving them in the box, hence so many MISB samples being sold on eBay. Perhaps it wasn't as common as it is now (or as popular as we know it to be thanks to the internet and fan fourms), but there will always be a demand for vintage toys. But yeah, market saturation will also determine their worth because rare items will always appreciate more (sorry to anyone that stocked-up on movie Bumblebees for their retirement fund ).
