Here's your dedicated thread to theorize and speculate about 2012 releases and their value at the end of 2012. Have fun!

Please post the title and the price you think it will be by 12/31/2012. 7+ months to discuss.

:D

Iron Man 1 and 2 Play.com

and theres no chance of terminator being sold out in uk. play has the worst artwork of them all.

Terminator england has embossing and the inside art that many of the others will not. As far as i'm aware only germany is releasing one with different cover art, or am I way off the mark? Anyhow, I think it will go OOS soon and shoot up in value after that, come christmas it would have doubled in value and in terms of $ it will be even more!
 
The is question posed is which steel will "rise most in $". Steels which are more expensive have a better chance of rising "most in $".

In "most in $" terms, I think that Girl with Dragon Tattoo Jpn has a good chance of being that steel. It is now the TGWDT to get for a TGWDT collector.

I would pick Iron Man Play as the steel that would rise the most in percentage terms - mainly because it has a low price base. Also, 4,000 is a very low issue number given the market demand for this title. In addition, deadly gorgeous artwork and embossing/debossing. It will not be easy to beat this steel.
 
I would be pretty certain that any Avenger related steel would be a safe bet plus my youtube videos on the UK Alien Quadrilogy and Chronicle steelbooks almost have 500 views each and are by far my biggest ratings especially considering they have only been online (since release) for around 3 weeks! I'd root for them also.

Look to future releases I would also consider any Disney & Pixar releases to be an obvious choice also. With Brave coming out in the cinema soon it should be made into a SB at some point.
 
its gotta be iron man 1 and 2 play exclusive, £50 - £75 and the avengers assemble because england as far as i know are the only country to change the title.

Not only England, but Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales too.

Sorry, I have to do this, but England does not have any exclusives. The UK however, DOES.

thank you barry i nearly put uk but wasnt sure.
the other one that will jump in value will be the avengers from germany, if they keep the cover with the characters on because everyone else has the black background with the a on

Really though do people really think its going to go for that much or is it just wishful thinking and hype because of the FS and MM Iron Mans?

Also I guess Im the only one not smitten with the artwork on the Irons Mans. I think its just ok, nothing special.

It will rise due to popularity of the steel but I don't think it be going crazy money! I think it will go around £20 - £40 around release date. Towards the end of the year about £40-£50.

Next year when IM3 hits the cinemas in the summer in 2013, there will be an increase for this because everyone would want their IM set complete :) By then it can fetch the current Thor prices of around £50 - £80.

There's my predictions. Who knows, anything can happen. No one would ever thought IM FS back in 2008 release would shoot up in value between $500 - $700 :hilarious:

I think these price/value estimates are realistic.

This seems fairly accurate to me.

I think The Incredible Hulk stands a good chance of increasing. It won't fetch crazy prices like Iron Man. But a small increase surely, providing there are no other releases planned soon.

Agreed bud, as this is the only steel released for Incredible Hulk. The problem with steel is that it's horizontal and too much going on in the front artwork. It needs to be simpler, no writing and the pic of hulk when he is a man and then after is too much information all crammed in a long with the writing.

That sounds about right Id say. I think a lot of people get caught up in the hype, gotta get this because everyone else is. Then others are hoping this will be the next one and the fact it went so fast just fuels that.

I agree I like them fairly simple usually.
