This could be something that you bought for a higher price than what most people would guess based on the item, or it could be something you bought for a normal price that has gained significant value as time has gone on.
What made me think of this question is a LEGO minifigure I got with my “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” disc. It is Bilbo Baggins in a blue coat that was apparently only sold in that movie box only at Target stores. Even considering the exclusivity, I would have guessed maybe $10-20 for such a tiny piece of plastic, but there are sold listings on eBay from $80 to $225. I could possibly even get towards the higher end of that number since I still have everything in the original box in good condition. It’s not worth a ton compared to some other items people may own, but I think most people would not expect nearly that amount.
I’ve seen that before! I got a Halo 3 Master Chief Funko bobblehead from my local Blockbuster when they were closing. He is sitting on my desk next to my gaming PC right now with my Atlas and P-Body Funko Pops from Portal 2. My Master Chief has gone up in price, but not nearly as expensive as yours seems to be.
That’s nice!
I actually discovered mine when I was moving. Still boxed up and everything. I forgot I even had it. Now it is sitting on my bookshelf.
