The values are so high it's hard to justify actually building it, but if it stays sealed then all you're really collecting are cardboard boxes with pictures on them.

I'll probably just keep mine in storage. Maybe in another 10 years it's value will go back up a bit.

Search on youtube. I uploaded several reviews on them. Fitment is perfect. Might have a small problem with a few missing pieces though... but usually not a big deal.

The initial release is always worth more to a collector.

the porsche gt3 i understand the appeal to adults because of the attention to details like the movable pistons
this is only really priced almost 1k because it's a star wars collectible
if it was a batmobile or some elaborate harry potter set, doubt there will be as much of a market for inflated prices
