WTF!!! I was way wrong. Alot of us were.
HOW is this only 800 bucks?? Is SSC turning a new leaf with the crazy pricing???
This is still LSF right??
No, you were never wrong. You rightly predicted that Sideshow would possibly overprice this item, as they have done of late with so many recent releases. And they still have, just slightly less than usual of late.!
I know that $800.00 seems reasonable, but in reality it is still not. The reason is simply CHINA. We would be truly shocked to know how cheap labor/production costs really are. But the over-zealous Sideshow collectors & fans have truly aided, (heck, practically begged), for higher pricing, & showed their hand way too blatantly. Well now we got it, & we'll keep on getting it. But Sideshow truly gets it all, & their marketing strategy (reverse psychology) worked to perfection. I mean people are now thrilled that a statue is being priced below 1K, & call that a deal???!!!
I mean just two years ago a 1/4 scale Venom comi was priced at a mere $250.00???!!!.Sadly, we'll never see this type of pricing again. And yes, production costs have gone up for all, but surely not by 50% in two years?! This should have been no more than $599.00.
Having vented, I still think the sculpt is fantastic, & yes I will be getting this, regardless of a still bloated price.
P.S. For all you squealing, over excitable peeps, don't forget to help Sideshow jack-up the pricing for Hulk maquette, & Apoc PF, as releases are around the corner. Oh, too late...........damage already done!
P.P.S. Yeah, 2K lsf pricing was(?)/is complete nonsense.
