Does Anyone Invest In SW etc, Minifigures Like Sets?

Does anybody buy minifigures when they have just been released or at great prices, let them appreciate for a few years, and then sell them large gains like you do with sets? (I know that a large gain with a minifig isn't the same as a set, because a high priced minifig usually doesn't top $30) There is an unofficial "Lego store" where I live, which sells custom models and minifigs at exorbitant prices. For example, he has a Santa Yoda in his $25 case! This could be an example of investing in minifigures, because idiotic mothers pay 3x actual value for minifigures. However, IrishGuy66 and I manage to pull a profit on this guy by trading in some of our junky minifigures for good ones. (I just got a K-3PO) In the end, this dude still makes a profit by selling our figs at crazy prices. Do you invest in none CM minifigures as well? Thoughts?
