Darkness PF!!

[creecher]

Thanks Josh.

I kick myself everyday that I had Jabba/throne and Hulk on pre order. When it can time to pay I could only keep one and I kept Jabba/throne

What a dumb ***

You used to be a *******, and now you have become a dumb ***. Never mind King. Really it's not so bad. You could have ended up as P!tu's ***. Ewwwww.

Dammit! I've got a $50 G-card that expires on the 30th and Darkness is bidding me! Problem is I have mucho other things on pre-order. What to do. What to do.

 

[King Darkness]

I guess you are right Kreech

Pretty common that polystone will have little bits inside that rattle. Most of the Jabba Thrones do... its no biggie.

good to know I'm not the only one. not really worried about it though. just see what SS says. being my first PF did'nt know what to expect. it's all good as long as I don't shake him.

I'm just as dumb King. I still haven't been able to scrape the money together for one. Actually that makes me dumber than you. Too much goodness coming up that I don't want to miss out on. The regular is still available where I am, and I reckon it will be for some time yet. I just keep crossing my fingers that that'll still be the case when I have the money. Darkness is King.

I musta read the newsletter wrong. I thought it said they had some Exclusives for sale. What a ******* I am.

 

[mr.thrifty]

Dont mind Kreech, he is old and dumb, and apparently doesnt read so well either.

I need a little advice. I don't usually collect statues, but I love this piece and I also love Legend the movie (unlike most, it seems). So I've decided that I want to pick one up. I'm a little torn about the exclusive, though. Do you think it's a must-have? It's obviously very appropriate, but do you think the unicorn horn actually looks better when displayed on the piece?

I narrowly missed winning an exclusive Darkness on ebay a couple of days ago. It ended at $266.55 (plus $40 shipping). I was a little disappointed in that, but then yesterday evening I noticed that BBTS was having an 18% off sale, which by an interesting coincidence brought the Darkness PF to $266.49 (plus around $28 shipping). Since there was only one left, I decided to go ahead and put it in my Pile of Loot, but I can always cancel and get store credit (I have so many things on preorder there that I can use that no problem). My question is, should I just stick with this one from BBTS, or wait and try to get an exclusive? I know that Sideshow has the exclusive still available, but the difference in price is too big for me to get it from them (assuming I don't luck into a big gift card or something). So I guess I would have to wait and see if one crops up on ebay or the forums for a reasonable price. Thoughts?

It really depends on how you want to display him and if you think the Unicorn (on the EX) is worth an extra $100.

IMO, $266 is a great price for the REG. I say keep it.

 

[Zoomaround]

The unicorn horn was such an essential part of the movie that I had to have the Exclusive (If you're a fan of the movie, you'll understand). I guess your decision will be based on what's more important to you, the exclusive or the $.

 

[galactiboy]

Too me the exclusive looks better on display... and its just too key of an accessory not to have.

For whatever reason (as you already know) the PF is not selling well on the secondary market, so I'm pretty sure you'll find other great deals for the exclusive. I was able to score one off a board member for $275 shipped.

It's been what? 6-7 months since the release date? Give it some time.

If the secondary market sources dry up by the end of the year, then this one will be VHTF.

Oh I agree, but usually PF's will sell out and at least retain retail... this one hasn't even done that yet.

But, my statements were meant more towards icruise looking for a good deal now before prices increase on the exclusive.

 

[creature4000]

I don't think the prices will ever go back up to retail... not with the EX still available.

 

[icruise]

Yeah, I really think Sideshow overproduced this piece. It's incredible looking, but the number of people who want a huge statue of the devil in their house is apparently rather low.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, who'd have thought a giant red devil would be so hard to sell

Although the 1:1 bust is hard to find... so I think its a collectible that just needs some time to permeate. But still, get the exclusive You'll be sorry if you don't.
