Darth Maul Legendary Scale Figure

[Gruson]

Wow where did you find it at that price with the shipping if you don't mind me asking?

They are sold out now.

 

[THX-182]

They are sold out now.

Was that the question?

I get the initial sticker shock with it, but 1:6 collectors, if they added-up their collections, would probably find they paid far more that $2000.00 for them cumulatively. As someone posted a while back, if you want one piece with very high impact, you go for something like this (or wait for your grail character to come out and grab that) as opposed to say 8 or 10 Hot Toys Iron Men. The price is really relative to whatever else you're collecting or could be collecting.

Yeah it has a high impact....I guess you have to determine how high, being the statue is about 6 times the price of a 1/4 PF.

Is this 1/2 Maul really 6 times as impressive and 6 times the value of the 1/4 Maul by the same company ?

 

[the AMAZING SPIDER-FAN]

Yes.








The message you have entered is too short blahblahblahblah...

I remember reading that the LS line will be open editions, is that correct? Did they say if they will ever close it?

Thanks!

Indeed, it is a beautiful piece.

I read back about the last 20 - 25 pages and have to say I think some people are getting a little confused comparing mass produced pop-culture totems to "art". Neither one is guaranteed to rise in value (regardless of edition size) and investing in something like this and banking on its value rising in the secondary market is folly. I do get that because of the open edition size you're pretty much guaranteeing yourself a steep loss should you have to sell but... what is anyone doing dropping $2k on a huge Darth Maul statue if their position is so precarious? Leave the money in the bank, then?

As for investment it will lose value. But for collectors who want this it's a winner.

Finally went for Maul! Ordered for $1,800 shipped!

Bring on Vader next!

Wow congrats you lucky guy. I want pics when you get this one. I admit this piece will blow away any of my PF collection.

It's going to be different for everyone because so much of what makes me want to purchase a particular item or character is nostalgia. Since I'm into Star Wars, it would be kind of difficult to limit myself to say just one or two characters in LSF, but for those that can, I think it could definitely have more impact. A lot of it depends too on how stuff is displayed.

I remember reading that the LS line will be open editions, is that correct? Did they say if they will ever close it?

My understanding is that Sideshow has said that eventually the edition will close but that they won't reveal how many of that character sold. At $2,000.00 each, it's going to be a fairly small number, even if they let it run for a few years. Probably at some point there are so few orders for the character that's it's no longer worthwhile to produce them one at a time and then they'll close it. That's what I would guess, anyway.

As for investment it will lose value. But for collectors who want this it's a winner.

Yeah, I totally concur. I'm not concerned at all whether the stuff I buy goes up or down in value. Really I look at purchasing this stuff the same as entertainment or electronics. I expect it to depreciate over time but just enjoy having it around.

I happened to take a look at my flex payments for Maul today and noticed that he was delayed even further and is now scheduled to ship in November. This is getting ridiculous. It's going to be over a year from when I ordered him. Really bummed out to say the least as I'm really looking forward to getting him in hand. Even with all the announcements this is still one of my most anticipated releases.

 

[Darth Vader]

seen the maul in person looks really nice, if only that his boots are a tad large. can't wait for obi wan

 

[ambasah]

anyone rethinking this line since SS seems to be going full speed with the life size stuff?

Yup, I was all ready to go 1:2 and even have Maul on order. I also have the 1:2 Endo.

However, I just learned that it looks like Sideshow is NOT going to do the new translucent resin. That looked so cool and is a deal breaker for me. I wanted some humans in 1:2 scale as nice as that Obi. I also expected a 1:2 Vader at SDCC which we did not get.

But, we got some BIG 1:1 surprises that look amazing. Fett, Han in Carbonite, and of course Vader. I was really impressed by them and decided I will replace the 1:2 pieces with these 1:1 pieces when they arrive. It could be over a year away to complete though.

Very excited.

 

[Darth Vader]

Who said they weren't doing the intrinsic resin?? link

Nothing official...just the rumor.

 

[Khev]

I wonder if they'll do any life-size human characters.

 

[Darth Vader]

oh okay, thought someone knew something i didnt /wipes brow i talked to Tom Gilliland and im pretty positive they're still gonna use that resin only thing he said was the the head is a little bit larger than they anticipated during molding process and they're trying to make it a little smaller

 

[Awesome]

Any word if they will shrink the size of the lightsaber?

congrats on being able to score the life size stuff.

There is no way my wife would let me get them all (unless I sold most of my collection) but I might be able to get 1. I was thinking han in carbonite but vader will be it, unless the price is ridiculous.

 

[chRd]

anyone got pictures of this would-be intrinsic resin?

 

[Chaosorb]

Nothing official...just the rumor.

I heard SSC delayed this product to make it 100% anatomically correct!
