VC186 Fett Secondary Market Prices Are Relatively Low And That’s A Good Thing

The VC186 - Boba Fett figure is one of the more celebrated releases of 2021. Some consider it the figure of the year. Count me among their numbers. It's a definitive update to an already popular character whose Q Score went through the roof when he reemerged in The Mandalorian in epic fashion. These things typically translate to skyrocketing secondary market pricing. That will come in time, but for right now, the prices are so low that it's noteworthy. For a $20 bill you can easily get one shipped to your door. This is great news.

A tepid secondary market value for a figure usually indicates a lack of collector interest. Usually. Secondary market prices operate on the cruel economic law of supply and demand. In many cases, depressed prices indicate weakness on the demand side of that equation, but that's not the case with this Boba Fett figure. We know empirically that it has tremendous demand based on the figure's eye popping number of production runs. The pricing weakness in this case is clearly do to the strenght of the supply side. Again, this is great news

When newer figures skyrocket on the secondary market, it's terrible news. It means that a lot of money is being spent on Vintage Collection product, but Hasbro is seeing none of it. Those strong sales offer zero direct benefit to the line itself. In this case it seems that Hasbro found the supply sweet spot so that those who want the product are sending there simoleons to Hasbro instead of some "filthy scalper". That directly props up the line. Count this Boba Fett figure as a big win in the battle for MORE!
