    Everybody said the same thing about muscle cars a few years ago, and that market crashed - hard.

    As long as you are REALLY enjoying your $14,000 MM, if the price falls next year to $9,000 , you will not be too overwhelmed.

    I'm not so sure about a "golden pin".

    Some people would love a serious (read: not goofy) zombie game.

    Others would not be allowed to have a serious zombie game in the house (religious or young child concerns).

    No one theme is going to fit everyone's interest.

    Well, here's the thing:

    If in 1997 a NIB pin sold for $2700 adjusted for inflation in 2012, that same pin should be selling at $3800 .

    Of course that is not what NIB pins are selling for, so we have a rapid price increase that is many times the rate of inflation. I'll leave out any arguments whether 2012 pins are worth the difference...
