Thanks Elwood. I find it hard to make things clear sometimes. There are some products that have been out for three or more years without an edition size being declared.
I am known to be wrong on many occassions. For example, as far as I knew 1/6 Frankenstein had never had its edition size declared. Reading another thread, Dave made mention that it was 25,000. So what now, it still isn't listed on the Sideshow site in the archives. I find that strange. It may have gotten under my radar, in a newsletter update at some time. Dave has many sources that I don't. Keeping on top of details is a hard task when there are so many changes to keep on top of, and only a finite number of staff and hours in a day. Information is power. How it is weilded is another matter. I am not particularly interested in Star Wars and am sorry if I have diverted the topic of the thread somewhat. Which is the Maul bust more than the edition size and it's ability to promote sales of a product, and how the release of this information, at an opportune time, can change perception of the situation.
It is virtually saying 'here you are, it is a big edition size, that is almost sold out in four months. Better get it while you can' If you haven't ordered from Sideshow, better get to your distributor, or log onto ebay, pronto. Without this information you may have missed the boat, and seeing how popular it is, the secondary market may just as well be more costly.
