Most likely the thing will end up losing value over time. So will the Wii, but since it's not just a statue (it has an actual function) that doesn't matter. Either way, if he can find someone to trade him for it, more power to him. I'd definitely prefer to have a Wii though.

Surely any rabid Star Wars fan would jump at the chance to own that statue, meaning it would go for a steep price.

Then he would have plenty of money for a Wii60 combo. If that Statue is really worth $900 why doesn’t the person just sell the statue themselves?

I personally collect PVC Anime statues that an Asian store sales, but it's never over $50 per statue and if there's a good game out, I buy the game instead.
