Transformer Toys - is it the right time to sell?

Transformer Toys - is it the right time to sell?

With all the hype and interest surrounding the recent release of Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen, i have been doing some research to discover whether or not this is a good time to make some money from those original transformer toys we use to love and cherish but are just collecting dust in a box somewhere.
Certainly, the resurgence in interest has put these toys back on the shelf and prices for original models have been steadily climbing over the last year. While Optimus Prime is obviously the toy to own, and i have seen bids up to $600 on e-bay for a boxed original, it is the small forgotten bots which complete a collection that have been making good money also.

My personal preference however is to hang on to any model that you may have which is in mint condition. While it may be a gamble that transformer toys will continue to be popular over the coming years, why sell things that have brought so much joys to your lives!! And if we are lucky, maybe we will be in possession of another 'star wars' style frenzy in years to come!
