Balto plushes and figures are rare. Not made anymore, and even when they were mad,e they were still a little rare. Balto is a movie with a growing amount of collectors. I have all the Balto plushes but muk, I paid over $200 for the collection all together, and that was a good price. the think is with Balto plushes, I love them all and actually, I did not spend more then $60 per plush and in my opinion, thats way too much, but it's worth it. These plushes are very collectible. There are also many people who want them because they are fans. I'm a huge fan and a collector. I had to jump through hoops even to find any on ebay. they are very rare! ...and yet, I found my laying Balto at a thrift store, not to mention the other 60 animated plushes in my collection.

They are collectible items. This means they are very rare and therefore very expensive. Not to mention they are old and not being sold by company from years which makes them even more expensive.

oh , ok. thanks.

Because these items are rare, and are probably considered collectibles. Price can also play a factor on the condition of the items.
