It's the same old story. Whatever kids love but adults deride as junk so ends up being pitched in large numbers ends up highly prized as the kids "mature" and start looking back at the treasures of their formative years. The same thing has happened to My Little Pony; junk 35 years ago but a treasure today.
If though something is an "instant collectible", it's hoarded at issue and stays worthless.
