$465 shipped for a future grail sounds like a good deal to me. For people
in CA who buy one straight from Sideshow it will cost at least $370 shipped
including tax.

I am still hoping against hope that I get off the waiting list, but I seriously doubt that will happen. If I could get one for $465, I would go that route. :monkey3
 
Do u think it's going to be that popular.... :monkey3

i can't see it, since there isn't a movie coming out at the same time.
they hit the market perfectly with the im statues.
It won't matter whether or not Thor is as popular as Iron Man, the flippers will drive the price up. Also Iron Man was popular before the movie came out so yeah I can see this sculpt being driven up in price on the secondary markets. You have to remember that the people who mostly collect this stuff are fans long before the movie comes out and people who buy because of the movie are usually late comers and have to pay those high prices after everything is sold out.
 
Still trying to see if I can afford my last payment on the 5th. If not, I might have to cancel. Sucks cause then I'm out the $60 from the FlexPay. DAMN!!!!

Guess I never really thought about it because I haven't done Flex pay before, do u really lose your $$$ if u decide to cancel on Flex pay?

Yeah I guess thats right on the flipper portion of it, I guess i was thinking maybe there's not as much fan base on Thor versus Iron Man... I've been a fan of comics for a while before Marvel started with all the movies so it's funny to here people in stores shopping with their kids saying, "whose Iron Man" :lol:lol:lol
 
yeah I think Thor will do nicely. High at first then a bunch of flipper dumping on ebay will bring the price down a bit and then after those dry up it will go back up in price.

i can't wait for Thor to start shipping and to be honest i'm growing more and more excited about Iron Spidey.

Yeah the Iron Spidey is amazing, I can just go on and on... Just joking I don't want to derail the thread as well but it's getting closer to the end of the year son!!! :maul

When does the Thor supposedly shipped I didn't pre-ordered so I didn't get any fancy notice...?

My nephew had never seen Star Wars (1977) on the big screen until they re-released it before Phantom Menace (1999) came out. That's 22 years and an entire generation was born between the 2 releases who never knew certain characters. We take it for granted that people have our reference point but they don't. Like I said I think that most collectors of this stuff are those who grew up with it and now have the money to buy it. I've been reading Thor since the very early days (early 1970's for me) but was too poor to buy anything like this PF until now. Thor has a fairly good fan base and they will buy this piece. Right now I'm just happy that Sideshow decided to do a different character for a change and I would like to see more.

Actually the tradition with PFs and most exclusive pieces is that within the first round of general releases the prices drop at times below retail at first and then begin climbing before leveling out. Thor was heavily ordered and at first it'll probably dip a bit from these preorder prices and then steadily rise.
 
THOR will arrive on OCT 2nd, for those who are interested. got tracking number a day or so ago for those who like to know.
