Again older pictures....will take better shots tomorrow if I can in their proper display cases. Everything in my display rooms is kind in a mess right now....im making more room for my CM predator thats on the way along with my 1/8 Reventon and other 1/12 Lambos coming soon also. These things take up ALOT of room

Thanks for the pics Chris. Have you thought of putting them in photobucket to make the pics bigger?

You are right about the details on these, they look like the real thing.

I often wonder what the marketing Department was thinking. I'm trying to understand the significant price increase over The Thing, Hulk and Thor PF's with no logical conclusion. I just can't believe that material labor and inflation went up this much. Unless the U.S. Dollar took a serious slide (which is highly possible) against the Chinese Dollar (Yuan) I just can't see it.

I agree. I think they were surprised at the price of the Hulk PF is going for now days, and they thought they could ride off it for a while. Now I am saying this of course without seeing how big this baby is and the sculpt itself. We can see when they start coming in.

Have not been charged yet. I am wondering myself ...

I know the price tag is high, and we may or may not be paying high price on this.

I think though this piece will retain it's value and actually go up in price once people see and see what a great piece it is.

When I first ordered this statue the only thing that I was worried about was that it only weighed 35 lbs since it should have weighed a lot more than the Hulk which was 51 lbs. Now that I got the same email about the weight being super heavy I'm finally relieved.

It's probably heavier on paper because they calculate dimensional weight instead of actual weight of the piece.

Now pound for pound I am feeling Im going to get my monies worth!
This guy is both huge and heavy!!

123 lbs!!!!
:buttrock: Like I said no way I will cancel this bad boy!!
I also have to say its mighty nice of SS to help the collectors!

So your saying that you think most of the weight is in styro and packaging!
Thats what aprox. 80 lbs in paper and styro! No way! I dont think so!


Its the statue! Most likly the heaviest PF statue to date from SS!!

That feeling I had that this piece will retain it's value or go up: I would like to modify my prediction that it will exceed it value! Get back on the list those of you who cancelled it, I think you will want it later, and it will be more. This is going to be a great piece!

You right on all counts aver! And ditto on the thanks to SS on arranging a good shipping discount!

I can't wait to see some pics of this guy. I cancelled long ago, because just couldn't budget it in, but it looks to be a fantastic piece, and I'm glad to see that it has some weight to it.

This sounds to be more like a coffee table piece (literally) than something that would fit in a curio or cabinet.

Bats!
Just wait till I post some bad a@@ pics with him in Battle with Gray Hulk/ rommel Hulk!

I have no doubt that at least the EX will retain its value, maybe 5yrs down the road it will be $1K! But then as everyone knows its not about the $$$ for me, its about the joy of collecting. If it goes up well then good for my kids when I die!
