G3 Market Collapse

[Rarityfan2011]

G3 is still sold at malls in our country.

I have found quite a few G3 at yard sales this year compared to last. I would have kept them all to eventually trade them, but I have sold them locally because I needed the money. Their play value is the best thing going for them at the moment. I only held on to 4 doubles 2 pegasi, a winter pony, and scented citrus sweetheart that I felt were more popular or htf. Kiwi Tart happens to be my favorite pony find of the year.

I've found some still in stores as well.  But it is not that often.  I am not sure what will happen in the future but there is a chance that they will become more rare and sought after in 20-30 years.  Population growth might increase demand for them too as new generations decide they want collectors toys.  Aren't there a good number of young collectors after G1s?  Or am I just assuming there are?

There are a few people who focus on G2 and G3 but I would say that 85% of the collecting community either collects a mixture of all gens or G1 solely.  There is a smaller demographic, maybe 15-20% that collect only G4 but many of them eventually start adding other gens to their collections.  I would also estimate the number of collectors younger than 18 is much smaller than the number of adult collectors...  probably 10% compared to 90%.  Only time will tell how this trending will settle!  But I do think that G1 will always be the major player in MLP collecting as it is the original line that started it all.  :-p
