Yup. Although some sets are just plain cooler than others,
any discontinued set becomes more valuable. Today's commonplace
set becomes tomorrow's rarity. The moo-men will eventually command
the sort of premium that wolfpack or forestmen sets do today.
I'd guess that the Star Wars sets will draw a pretty premium once
they are discontinued, just as space and castle themes now draw
fervid collector activity.
