Greg EcklundAgreed that some of the cool poses are a factor in the prices. I put a "have to own" bid on an e90-1 Oakes a few months ago, but someone else had to own it a little bit more...Grrrr.
I think one factor that nobody has mentioned is how small some of the "E" sets are - this is a big factor for someone who collects sets (or aspires to collect them in my case...haven't finished a pre war one yet, but am down to about 15 BF2's). I think some people look at the larger sets and get intimidated, but look at sets like E95 and E96 and can aspire to completion. Pick up three T206's and you haven't even made a dent in the big picture, but pick up three E95 and you have 12% of the set or three E96 and you have 10% - this is tremendously appealing to those who like to have the feeling of making real progess toward a set.
