I LOVE the bikes so much. I want to get one for my daughter but right now she's to little.

Better get it now while it's available and put it aside for when she grows into it. Better yet, get a second one to keep as an MIB collector's item.

That's how I cluttered up my house, with 2 of everything, one MIB, one to take out...

But the MIB stuff could be a wise investment for the future. What will an MIB RB Gen 4 bike be worth in 10 to 20 years? I suspect a lot more than you paid for it.

Not necessarily. RB does not seem like a good investment, sadly. Unless in 20-30 years you can find a collector willing to pay big money and you have the only item around.

Also, collectibles are notorious for changing value wildly. Take Barbies for example, a collectible far more popular than RB. My mom and I bought the entire line of Happy Holidays Barbies. There are 11 dolls from 1988 to 1998, and we have them all NRFB. (They still do Christmas dolls every year but they are not the Happy Holidays line.) They cost around $40 each. Back in the 90s before the entire line had been released, the 1988 doll alone was worth $1100. Today you will only get $200-500 for the *entire* collection of 11 dolls (last time I checked).

Here's the line if you want to look: http://www.fashion-doll-guide.com/Holid ... Dolls.html

Oops...nevermind! Now they're back! Amazon must've been glitching yesterday. My bad
