Because adults--not children--buy toys.
If said toys are from a specific long-ago era, they are expensive because the oldsters who still(!) buy that stuff allegedly have the disposable income ..not many non-Boomers have much of an interest in, say, Gunsmoke merchandise.
Riotengine does.

You know what might be cool?
If your mail box was like this toy:

So the mail man has to push up some levers, but at the same time, unknown to him, the mail drops threw a secret hatch, into an air tube, and is sucked into the home, so it's like it really "transported".

This is on the same subject but different collectible. Baseball cards. When my brother and I decided to start spending couch change on baseball cards and storing them in a basement, we soon realized that we were collecting the wrong era. Late 80’s and 90s probably have the worst value in baseball card history. I guess every kid decided to have the same hobby and card companies overproduced and now you can go to a Goodwill or garage sale and buy a sealed box set of 1991 Score or Topps dirt cheap. The sets I kept I probably can’t even give away.
Ironically, I blame this mindset on a particular Amazing Stories episode starring Mark Hamill, "Gather Ye Acorns". I suspect many a speculator was formed that day.

Haven't seen it. Should I be afraid?
