The price of most of the PF's is inflated these days. Look at Chewbacca. That should not have cost $385.

I seriously think that SS reads these posts and say "Oh, look! they think it's going to be $500 and they're willing to pay it! Make it so!"

This is so true. SS's PFs sure aren't going down in price thats for sure. I've done my research and PF's have gone up $150 over the last few years. If people continue to pay SS's prices without hesitation the standard PF will cost $600.

If you want to see inflated, look at Gentle Giant's statues....$400 for a Sideshow statue is a steal

GG charge less on their 1/4 aside from the honey pot stuff.

No a steal would be $150 for a statue. SS, GG and other companies know what people will pay for statues once they start a collection and get addicted to adding to their collection. At $400 a crack SS is still making bank on each statue it sells. And they will go up, like all company's statues will go up if customers keep purchasing without a second thought.

It's not Sideshow's problem...

Of course its not SS's problem, they are in business to make money. But its the customers who are deciding on just how much SS is able to make on its products, and how much they are willing to spend. Thats what my point is. If customers would just show a little restraint and not order every statue that comes up the statue manufacturers would level off on their prices for quite some time.

I really think the whole "customers are the problem" when it comes to pricing is getting old. It is what is its and it is unlikely to change. We speak with out wallets, and apparently we are all still buying.

So, whatevs

New customers will just fill the void the old ones left..you know how many getting out of the hobby sale threads I've seen over the years? The same amount as WTB threads..a lot

Apparently no, you should just cancel right know.

Well you are right that everyone is still buying thats for sure.

I'm not saying that anyone should or shouldn't order this. I'm saying people should think twice before ordering a $600 piece. I don't think this will be $600 but PF's are headed in that direction.

I do somewhat agree with this, but if the number one reason people get out of the statue collecting game is the prices (I don't know if this is or not) it will be harder to bring new people into the hobby if they have to start out their collection with an already highly inflated price. And with some statues in the WTB section you can actually buy the pieces for less than they went for when they cam out.

Sadly, the fact that more poeple are joining the hobby is what is driving the prices up...and the ES. In the end, the higher prices don't make me stop from buying certain pieces, it's the lack of space I have to display them.
