Am I too late to start this line? The price on the scondary market of some the pieces are ridiculous, both locally here in my country and on eBay.
I always avoided collecting the B&W line because I missed out on the 1st Edition Mignola statue and didn't feel like collecting the rest if I couldn't have my favorite piece. But then I was lucky enough to find someone selling the Mignola statue for a decent price. Then a couple months later I found a guy on Craigslist selling the Risso, Jones and Perez statues. So I guess my advice would be to start buying the ones you like and hopefully you'll eventually get lucky and find some older, more expensive pieces. You really never know what you'll stumble across.
On that note, today I found the David Finch statue for $80 at a local comic shop. I haven't decided if I actually want to keep it, but that seemed too good a price to pass up. If I don't keep it I'll just list it in the commerce section for the same price and pass along the good luck.
