The 2011 NYCC Superman minifigure already on eBay ...

.... and I fell in love because we can't do it again and even if I am well aware by my purchase of fueling speculation around this minifigure which should sooner or later be available in mass in sets from the 2012 LEGO Superheroes range, I had to complete my trio of minifigs since I was able to acquire the ones from San Diego Comic Con, Batman and Green Lantern.

In these pages, I am always very critical about the resale at a high price of these exclusive objects or not distributed to visitors to different shows or during various and varied promotions. My collector's spirit is racing and rattling against these speculators, but I remain realistic about this too: If one day for financial reasons or other reasons for that matter, I had to resell my collection, I would like to make the most of it. possible price and I would probably go over to the speculators myself.

I do my best not to be hypocrite, many collectors think exactly the same thing and refuse to admit it publicly, preferring to pretend to be naive disinterested AFOLs. Let's be realistic, and let's not deny the obvious: In the world of LEGO collectors, speculation is in order. Just take a look at eBay or Bricklink, and you will discover a slew of merchants making very strong capital gains on the resale of sets or minifigs, who then come to tell you about their love of LEGOs on various forums. The two are probably not incompatible, but it is important not to deny the reality.

The photo above is not of me, it's the one posted on FBTB, and I'll do a group photo for you as soon as I get Superman.
