Colossus Comiquette

[fuzzylojiks]

You aren't kidding about the growing space restrictions. I thought I would have plenty of space, but that was before the statue addiction kicked in. Since then my house is slowly being overrun by SS boxes!

Good point bro, with the glut of statues hitting recently, for those that collect multiple lines some may have to spread them out well to make it look good and space contraints may be a hassle (especially with crazy kids running around : P)

just placed the booking with secret compass

Comiquettes seem to have gone up at least 25% in the last few months. That Sideshow Sales report makes me think they have decided to skin collectors extra for what the secondary market is doing, which is fine, but unfortunately they forgot that you have to keep the product quality and value at the same levels.

In some ways it is comparing apples and oranges, or asking how long is a piece of string.... but I compare the Mystique Com with the Colossus Com and can't see the latter being worth twice as much only a year later. I compare say the Sabretooth PF with the Colossus Com and wonder why Sabretooth is only a fraction more yet is a massive statue with addtional fabrication.
To me it is detail and scale where value is present. This statue has neither when compared to other SS product and at a $300 price point is a rip. Thanos and Mistress Death combined are only $50 more....
Quality wise my own experience means that I would not have had a full return and 3 partial refunds on 4 out of my last 6 sideshow purchases. I am not a fussy buyer

Great points. Some people don't understand people having a meaningful discussion on a msg board and just go off on people or are plain rude. : ) I'm glad there are people who can respectfully discuss such topics, practice freedom of speech, and understanding the other side without having the need to fling insults or juvenile jaunts. It's been a pleasure reading both sides of this and if people don't like you expressing yourself, eloquently like you and traylorc have, then that's just too bad for them.

Marvel FTMW!

No Fuzzy we have been corrected.
From now on opinions and responses should be kept to monosyllable verbs like "Ordered" "Pass" and "Fail" in order to keep the forum interesting and fresh...

Are we allowed to combine them? Like "Fail...Pass"?

This statue was in my top couple really wanted statues.. unfortunatly due to the sculpt not being very great, in addition to the price point i am very sadly dissapointed in this offering from sideshow.

Fail...Pass!

I was also looking forward to this piece. I have it ordered by most likely I will cancel. The more I look at the costume the more I hate it and that's not a good thing.

I'm holding out for the PF

 

[Colossus]

The More I look at this Colossus the More Doubt is starting to linger about getting him, I am Very Picky about what I display and I feel that I would Not enjoy this version, Unless SS gives him to me at 100% discount, In retrospect my Fellow and Feminine Collectors would not display a piece that they where not 100% Happy with

Thinking of doing the same... I can blow lots of $$$$ and if you know I'm not willing to blow $$$$ on this, something is wrong.

 

[Colossus]

Good to see you guys know where I am Coming from

 

[Colossus]

We can only Hope they get the PF right and is wearing Black

 

[Boba Fett]

I'll hold onto this for a bit until I find out for sure we're going to have a PF of him.

If it happens, then he goes buh-bye!

 

[CelticWarrior]

I agree with everyone I will be holding out for the PF.

sorry about your luck, the PFs are jim lee versions

 

[wookielovin]

Yeah i think im going to cancel mine.... im not super impressed with this piece. Even if theirs no PF its not worth 300.00 and its the size of punisher. Which will make him one of the smallest commi. ( how does that work)
