Darth Maul Legendary Scale Figure

[Chaosorb]

I'm still considering getting this piece. I will wait it out and watch the price fall on these and get one down the road most likely. jkno makes alot of sense; for 2k you could get some kick ass life size displays.

I think Mini-Maul will look good displayed with Iron Child.

he would prolly look better with Doom or Vader of course.

Have you seen one of these in person? There's no way 8 of these makes up one person unless your 7ft and 300lbs.

Then I guess Maul was a big guy, because it's no more then basic math ...

what makes you so sure the prices on this one will fall ?

 

[creature4000]

The price will fall on ebay a couple years from now (if many bite).. but then your risking damage goods.

The price of the Terminator Endo and Iron Man haven't held up.

How much is an 1:2 Endo now?

LOOKS BAD.

This is bordering on grasping for too much; to sink $2K into a mass produced collectible made in China when you could find a hero prop from the actual films for around that much.

 

[The Josh]

It would have to be a certain prop for me to get that. You gotta see these to understand how freaking amazing they are.

The problem comes in that the longer you wait the less of a "deal" you can get for it. Eventually SSC becomes your only outlet to pay full MSRP and their shipping. So, while there is hope to wait it comes at a price.

I guess you are right there too.

I will admit, I love the character and would love the piece. Just don't think it's possible.


Though I do see where the saber is off.

I don't question that they look amazing, the shear scale alone is bound to make an impression (I have seen the 1:2 Iron Man in person, and it is pretty cool); but there isn't even an established ES yet to the best of my knowledge. It just seems kinda off to want to plunk down that much cash on something that might be rare, when you could get a one-of for right around the same amount, and possibly be a studio piece.

I forked out the cash for the 1:1 Vader though, which isn't that much less; but I figured I couldn't get anything close to a screen used helmet for a price that remotely resembled what SS is charging (this was before eFX announced their's ). The LSF line though are just bigger PF's, not something I would put in the prop category.

considering the paltry quality of some of SSC products recently (due to overseas studios and SSC's terrible QC), i wouldn't even consider paying this price for this unless it was actually developed in a reputable studio, preferably from the SSC artist hands themselves. this price point is reaching the realms of what one would pay for art, and as of late, SSC has not been providing us with such.

Exactly, good post. Ironically though, I can see some defending SSC when the first 1:2's hit people's doorsteps and the paint apps are marginally better but not $2,000 better. You're right, $2,000 can buy a pretty nice real work of art so these better be better production all around. Though I wonder, how much resources will these overpriced pieces hog, to cause their 1/4th's and 1/6th's to remain at the current level or get worse. I won a prize the other week and still haven't gotten my email for shipment and was told they are a week behind. So I can only imagine their other departments. And let's face it, they paint these in the same shop in China or wherever, how much better are the same workers going to be?

IF and when they announce something LOTR and depending who it is I will get one. Not because its rare but because I want to have something like that. So while I would prefer ES announced at the start if they don't and I still like it I'm gonna get it. As I said getting one off prop pieces doesn't interest me a bit. Its to each his own I guess.

Pre-order would start today. So far I haven't seen it.... Isn't that usually around noon (local time) ?

 

[Chaosorb]

If it is an open ES then you can order it at your own leisure. If SSC puts an ES on this then it will be a different story but the rumor is it will be an open ES.

 

[Praetorian380]

Preorder page is up for those interested - https://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=36173&sku=400074

 

[The Chaver]

Its got to be an error but it says on the flexpay order page that there is less than 100 left ???

 

[Darth Waller]

$400 deposit and five payments of $320. That's like buying PFs 6 months in a row.
