Did I just talk myself into buying Lone Ranger sets?

I've been reading and participating in a few threads that talk about buying and selling old toys. More specifically which toys from the 80's and 90's are doing well today. One thing I have noticed is that it isn't always the most popular items that are good sellers: This is a lot of Star Wars figures: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Star-Wars-Darth-Vader-Case-with-23-Action-Figures-/261260471680?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item3cd4566d80 Here are some from the Black Hole: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Hole-Action-Figure-Lot-Maximilian-V-i-******-cent-Vincent-with-stands-9-total-/370867387045?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item56596b3aa5 Okay...so what does this mean? The Black Hole was a terrible Disney movie. Star Wars is arguably the greatest movie ever created in the history of the universe. Why do people want the Black Hole toys more? Well...there are less of them, obviously, so that helps. Disney? Maybe that helps, hard to quantify. But I think those Black Hole toys may end up giving us an idea about The Lone Ranger. It could be in 10-15 years people say "Disney made a Lone Ranger movie? Wow...that train is actually really cool." After all is said and done...this may be the biggest winner of this current run of sets. With that in mind...I will probably go buy one. Not more, cause, well there is always this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Mork-From-Ork-Robin-Williams-Action-Figure-1979-/200950428159?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item2ec99431ff
