"Collectibles. In the past few years, the price of little collectibles and things of that sort has gotten incredibly high. I'm talking cards, Legos, action figures, you name it. Whatever your hobby is, people are dropping your entire salary in just one day for related collectibles."
"Nerd paraphernalia like Star Wars or Marvel/DC stuff (action figures, comic books, etc.). Used to be just a fun hobby for kids and kids at heart; now it's almost totally purchased by rich, dedicated speculators solely for profit."
Prices for small collectibles have risen sharply in recent years. Cards, Lego sets, action figures, and similar items now command high prices. Buyers sometimes spend an entire month's salary in a single day on collectible purchases. Pop-culture paraphernalia such as Star Wars and Marvel/DC action figures and comic books have shifted from casual hobbies to assets targeted by wealthy, dedicated speculators. The market shows increased investor-driven demand that prioritizes profit over enjoyment. The speculative focus reduces accessibility for casual collectors and can inflate values beyond hobbyist-driven interest, altering traditional collector communities and behaviors.
