Go look up the Transformers G1 Shockwave or the GI Joe U.S.S. Flagg on eBay. The Flagg has had crazy prices, especially for those still sealed up.
I've actually got a HeroQuest box. I don't think it's got everything, but it's pretty close I'd say. Found it in a antique store for like $15.
I loved that game.

I have a Supersoaker Monster XL, the largest gun ever made by the Laramie corporation. Twin adjustable nozzles, 1.5 gallon tank, quick-fill attachment, and a bipod so that you can use it as a mounted gun emplacement. There's one on eBay for about $240, last I checked. I can't decide whether to sell it or to give it to my nephews when they're old enough to lift it.

Ok was thinking of rebuying one of my favorite boardgames, I still have it but a lot of the miniatures are missing and some of the furniture. This would be Heroquest. Now thankfully it was vastly more popular in the EU than it was in the US so the prices aren't as high but for an in decent condition set, you're looking at least £50.
A mint condition sets you back £125!
Looking at the US prices just...damn...a mint set can set you back a serious chunk of change, in the $200+ price range.
I'm now very jealous of a friend who managed to grab a near mint condition (everything was there but the box was slightly worn) Advanced Heroquest box from a Charity shop for £1 and it sells online for £200+.
It also surprised me, doing some research, that the US didn't get many of the expansions for it and when they did, they were in limited number.
Kellars Keep, Return of Witchking were available but Wizards of Morcar*, Against the Ogre Horde and the Adventure design kit were released only in the EU, while the two duo (designed for two players) adventure packs (Elf and Barbarian) were only released in the US. This means that the expansions (I have Kellars Keep, Return of the Witchking and Wizards of Morcar) are also fairly expansive to buy.
*Morcar was the name of the DM in the EU version of Heroquest, he was called the rather crappy name of Zargon in the US edition...why they changed this I have no idea.
