AH! Tomb Raider: Lara Croft & The Guardian of Light PF

Re: AH! Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Premium Format

Hmm the price has taken a bit of gloss off the excitement levels for me. Was really looking forward to this and even willing to risk buying something i do not have space for and a piece that does not really fit into my collection. If it was cheaper I'll probably get it without hesitation since i played many TR games when i was younger and Lara croft is a real video game icon.

But at 350usd, I'm not too sure. With the huge edition size, It might be difficult to offload this piece if i decide that it's becoming a white elephant in the house.

Re: AH! Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Premium Format

I have actually decided to not order this from Sideshow. I can't justify the money. Huge TR fan but $350? Really? For a print. I know everyone loves AH, and that's great and all. But I just can't do it. I like only getting exclusives when I can but this will be one I try to find on the secondary market and just get the regular.

Well said plus do not forget for people who are outside of USA (Ex:Canada) this 350$ ends up being 500$ with Custom Fees + Taxes so yaaa .

I believe they put up a poll on the SS site where they asked people what exclusive piece they prefer better... a print piece was one of the lowest in the results if I remember correctly. Hope they take that into account for the future exclusives.

You should see the price including shipping, fees, VAT, taxes ect for a piece like this if you're in EU like me, we're taking approx $600

And since I don't care for a print I'm gonna order a regular from a EU seller like Space and get it cheaper than from SS.

Re: AH! Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Premium Format

were the h*ll do you guys live? we are usually cheaper with buying directly from SSC. We usually save about 10-15euro getting the excl instead of the regular edition :s

Re: AH! Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Premium Format

I just ordered the EX. I think it will display nicely with the original Lara PF.

Re: AH! Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Premium Format

pre-ordered excl
the excl says : Fine Art Print by Adam Hughes / TBC

To be concluded... so maybe there is still something coming

An excample - my latest arrival was the Neytir polystone figure ex. That cost me:
SS Price: $299.99
shipping: $53.11
Tax, VAT, FedEx fees: $126.99
Total: $480.03

Had I bought the regular from Space (in Germany) I would have paid 279.00 euros (=$404.83). No shipping (if the order is > 250 euro), no tax or VAT.

Re: AH! Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Premium Format

I also agree that the price has gone too far up. I can see may be a $25 increase, but to go up $50 from where their PF price point used to be is a bit much. Sure the base is big, but there were other PFs that had light up features or large bases, recently, that still stayed at the $300 mark. I hope this $350 price isn't going to be the norm for all the new PFs coming out.

Re: AH! Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Premium Format

I added the ex only when I saw TBC. So I hope this means we'll at least get the Parrot!

I saw the TBC next to the Fine Art Print and immediately thought PARROT!!

You said it. I wish the bottom part of her shirt was tighter around her abdomen. Just that little thing would look sexier.
Oh, yeah, and; Ex ordered. Woot!

Re: AH! Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Premium Format

IMO, the parrot just adds to the piece and stays close to the control art.
