I really don't think its an issue of prices changing.

Its just that Johnigoe has gone a bit nuts over the last 6 months and personally raised all the prices by outbidding everyone.

Zackfan did much the same thing and had the same effect before him when he went on a mission to build his red army...

Supply and demand? look where that's got us. It's time to nationalise your Red Shadow Army!

I think prices are dropping across the board. For Action Force and others. There's always the exceptions, but I seem to be seeing a lot of figures listed at the moment that I watch and then think they've gone for a rather reasonable amount and kind of wish I'd bid.

AF seems to be holding up to a certain extent, but in other ranges I keep an eye on prices seem to be on the down. When I was trying to build my Dukes of Hazzard collection I really struggled to get an Uncle Jesse, but I've just accidentally picked a second one up for less than half of what they were going for six months ago (the old "I'll have a cheeky bid, just in case it is in better condition than my current one" and then I end up winning it when i thought i had no chance).

Times are hard out there guys - and even if money aint tight lots of folk are worried it's going to be, and the hobbys can sometimes be the first thing to cut back on. If you're watching what's in your wallet it's doubtful you'll splash out a few extra £10's here and there just to swell the army!

Serves the seller right for charging £9.99 postage maybe when the buyer receives the item they will ask for some postage charge back as well.

I sometimes wont bid on stuff on principle if the postage is hiked. SAS batch on Ebay just finished - postage was £15! I did bid on that one, but only as I desperately wanted the Hawk with complete engine cage. Even so, I was tempted to bid retract when i noticed postage costs. Luckily I didn't win, although not a bad end price.
