The RSVP page for Spiderman 2.0 updated to the item page for me when that went live. I had that open and refreshed until the queue started up. As soon as I was dropped in, it was on the item page
Elaborate
They really shouldn't.
I think the problem with that is that their ability to produce this quality at a scale larger than 3000 is probably why it's limited to begin with. That, or the strategy is to drive up interest and then release the sculpted hair version later. People who might not have had interest in upgrading now suddenly feel compelled to because it's the closest they can get to the Artisan edition.
My family and friends care! Everyone loves my collection. EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!
No, not to brag...
Just that I would know there may be a better Anakin than the one on my shelf.
I was in my late teens early 20's when MR was in full swing. I didn't have the funds to buy those pieces, wish I did but I could only afford the SS 1/6 pieces. Even PF were pricey for me. As time went on, I bought those MR pieces I couldn't and paid well over retail for some. The Falcon was the ONE I always wanted. I've paid a premium for that and a few other MR pieces. Worth it but you never know with the hobby how prices will be down the road. If you can find some MR down the road, at a good price, I would encourage it. I would sell my HT collection for some crazy future releases from EFX. Especially since we know HT will keep remaking figures with better features down the road. The replica prop game, not so much.No, not to brag...
I don't think I've really ever paid over original retail for almost everything I have. If I miss it, I miss it. I just don't want to get annoyed with myself later. SO many things over the years I almost bought that I didn't and wished I did. Especially back in the Master Replicas days. I have 6 sabers and 5 of them I paid LESS than their original retail for. I wish I got the few others I wanted and the Stormtrooper E11 blaster. And I almost even bought the Falcon once or twice. But it was when my wife was pregnant with my twins on the way and I couldn't justify the price to myself (or her).
Good times being a collector back in the late 90's and early 2000's. Patience always won out for me.
This is something that would annoy me as well since I do actually like the character a lot. I'll be fine with the current MMS as I have been, and am fairly certain there will at least be a sculpted hair version with this new sculpt down the road most likely, but I would like to have the rooted version if I can.No, not to brag...

I've been fortunate enough in his hobby for this to be the case for me as well most of the time. I used to be able to wait until something has been released and then just stalk eBay for some poor sap with buyer's remorse to sell something for below retail jus to get rid of it. A lot of my collection over the years has been bought like-new or even brand new at deep discount with the exception of a few items here and there. Not so much lately within the last year but in the past, I just usually had to wait for the right opportunity.
