Boba Fett Show of Hands

[Seretur]

Oh God, Gambit... FedEx is charging you THAT MUCH?

Why don't you switch to Royal Mail? They're about three times cheaper.

 

[KitFisto]

Well, my Fett will be here on Saturday. I am looking forward to him!

 

[IrishJedi]

As of right now it's not tanking...an exclusive just sold on ebay for $355.00.

1. It takes a couple of weeks after the hype of initial shipment for prices to begin plummeting and starting to settle.

2. I wanna know who paid $355 plus shipping for this. I have a few things I'd like to get them to take off my hands while they're gouging themselves.

wow, you really want to see this piece at the bottom of the ocean don't you? I really hope I am impressed with it when it gets here. If I don't like it I can always send it back.

No, but I am looking forward to picking one up for not much more than half of what you guys did.

If you think you're going to find this for $165, you may as well grab another pint

 

[IrishJedi]

I'm convinced I'll get one for $200 or thereabouts.

But I'll still take the pint.

I'm sure they were thinking the same thing when GG announced the Boba bust ES of 7500. Try finding that for under retail

That's my benchmark too. The Fett bust was 7500 and still goes for $200. I am not saying this PF will increase in value, but I don't think it will fall WAY below retail either. Time will tell.

Apples and Oranges.

The previous SW PFs are a much better and more logical benchmark than the GG Fett statue.

MY SIDESHOW FETT PF WILL BE HERE TOMORROW!!!!!

I disagree. I think there are some characters that have such a following that THEIR pieces speak to what the next piece from that character will do.

The Fett bust by GG was a hit. The fett statue by GG fell short of being the same hit.

MY SIDESHOW FETT PF WILL BE HERE TOMORROW!!!!!

Congrats Tom. can't wait to see pics since mine is coming Saturday.

 

[IrishJedi]

That's all well and good, but the truth is that the SCC PFs are still primarily a niche item in relative terms. Seriously, how many PFs have you seen on display in your local comic shop or hobby store? Now how many GG busts and statues have you seen? Aha!

Right or wrong, the GG statues are still more of a mainstream item than SSC's PFs. (Don't get me wrong, though, I much prefer SSC's product).

Also, The Cult of Fett is as overblown and overestimated as the character is overrated (no offense, Tom... I love ya man )

 

[Amanaman]

The GG market doesn't prove anything. Paying upwards of 10x retail is not exactly what I consider to be sane.

If it's not #42, you take it in your arms, personally go knock on Sideshow's door and launch into an impromptu rendition of Monty Python's Parrot sketch, all right?

 

[KitFisto]

Fine, you guys win. The Fett PF will be on ebay for less than a extra value meal by next week.

Amen.

Again, apples and oranges. You don't find many Kool-Aid drinkers out there like the GG completists.

Hyperbole won't make your point, you know.

BTW, was that an Arby's value mean or a McDonald's value meal?
