The DX series is having a bit of a revival: Yamaha's Reface, Korg's Volca, and a few others. The DX are also in demand again: not so long ago I bought a TX7 for around $75, now they sell for $350. The DX100/DX27 is also desired by quite a few, it seems.

There are multiple reasons, I think: - analog got popular again because bands started using it again when the prices dropped (due to digital tech, of course) - classic synths are vulnerable, making them decent investement objects, thus pushing the price, and making them more coveted than they deserve - that left only cheap digital synths for players bands without money, much like the 303, 808 and 909 back in the day (speaking of synths that changed music...) - which makes them desirable for the trend-followers, like analog 10 years ago. - the DX series fits better in modern music than something like the early Roland romplers with their super-cheesy sound.
