Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue
I think ss is bumping es to take profits from secondary market but now many of us will stop buying from ss and wait to see what happens on secondary market and look for discounts

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue
The problem that hasn't been mentioned is that these inflated ES numbers especially on Vader will affect the long term viability of the Mythos line. This means Sideshow will be less inclined to produce new pieces in the line if they can't sell out of the ones they currently have. Like it or not many collectors tie ES to price and if the ES is deemed to high for the price, the piece won't sell well.
They have yet to sell out of any Mythos piece in the line so far and it isn't because the pieces aren't exceptional because they are. I think it has to do more with price point and ES.
I guess my point was supposed to say/sound like, i couldnt care less if 4999 people have a copy of this statue, as long as i have mine.
If SSC cant shift them & they reduce the price, that's the chance i take as a collector. I buy cause i want it, not to profit later on down the road...
Im more than happy to get my order in early and secure this statue for my collection.

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue
I agree, you mention some valid points.
Call me naive, but surely a multi million dollar company like SSC has the business sense & marketing team to deliver such product at this price point & ES?
They must have reason to set these edition sizes. Otherwise they must set the edition sizes to the vocal minority on these message boards.

I want them all but don't have a single one
Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue
While 5000 ES number is high, I personally could care less if the final product comes out looking great (and has the saber hilt
)

FYI, the Greivous will be pre-cyborg, so maybe not what you might be expecting.
Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue
I just don't wanna pay $350 for a statue thats going to be worth $250 or less. Once these collectibles start losing value its over. Like the SS/Weta stuff. Once that line got over produced and lost value everyone get rid of their stuff.

Know what you mean mate, maybe it's because I've twisted the hand slightly to get a good fit? Mine look similar to some of the other guys, it really is a great piece, one thing I don't know why the base is so big, don't get me wrong I like it but its the same size as my Joker PF base!! I ove that pic of Grievous and if it comes out like that it will be awesome, lets hope SDCC has it, I think Mythos will probably the only line I collect now, it's size will suit my collection space and if the standard is kept up, some of the characters they could use will be amazing.

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue
My remark was in response to your post about "business sense".
But that was a horrible statue! This is Vader

"5K" should be a charity run, not an edition size for a Mythos statue.

Or a lot of faith the paint will come out perfect and the demand will skyrocket.

If you are collecting to make money then don't buy, if you are collecting to enjoy the piece I don't see a problem, I'd never buy a car if I felt that way, very few things in this world gain value, I buy things to enjoy them, if once I've enjoyed them I get back what I paid or more then its a bonus.
