Not at all. They were a depreciating asset.
I do have to wonder when that bubble is going to burst, because you are correct, these do have a limited shelf life thanks to a sealed battery.
I took inspiration from your prop room video and bought some big plastic tubs to store the items like boxes and old MAG projects that I don't want to just throw away - yet.
I won't be selling those Stompers anytime soon. I don't care if the price drops. I have wanted these for a very long time. I am thinking I might just have to buy one of those industrial aluminum steps (about $80, but should look cool) as a shelf display for them. I am also recycling all the 'gone into gel state" polyurethane left in the cups from sole pours, by whipping air back in and then pouring that on a part of the work bench to create a rubber replica pool of alien drool. I am hoping I can get it to eventually drip off the side so when cured, I can have it look like it is dripping off the shelf/step or what ever I end up using. I also have my "ALIEN" tile (that is not in any of the movies BTW) as a back plate and am looking at sourcing some yellow Perspex for the W of the Weyland/Yutani logo which I will get laser cut.
I am thinking shelves might be best for the BTTF 2 stuff as well.
The V3's are SO damn close to them that I am just happy to still have 3 pairs of those (all working).
Except those p1ss yellow soles. Working on more clears now. The new mold seems to be doing what is needed. I am also pouring them by their part weight now. So for example, the front oval part is 25 grams and this ensures uniform thickness from each pour.
