Re: Darth Vader life-size Bust

I tell you this bust will be delivered by July as planned.

The collectors do not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation.

Congrats on you guys planning to purchase this. If I was a Star Wars fan, I would be all over this. The only hard part now is waiting

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaactually as I usually get in two or three regular poker games a month... That's just a few wins every couple of months.

Very interesting how the stand will work with the exclusive... decisions, decisions.

If ordered through a retailer (if the 10% discount happens) then you could get the regular edition for $1080, but for an extra $170 you get the exclusive and $60 worth of SS reward points. Making it more like $1190 for the Exclusive version.

Guess it will really depend on the ES for the exclusive. If its low enough (under 200) probably worth it.

I'm curious, have there ever been photos of detail in the mask from Jedi, because this thing doesn't look like the ROTS internal design, not saying it looks bad, I'm just curious what the basis for the interior details is.

i say they charge a non-refundable down payment and set the ES to preorders up to a set date. the fact it's a year away though would make that down payment a little unfair i guess and we can't see the final production piece before we order. i wish they were further along with this piece so they could do that and ship in 6 months.

Re: Darth Vader life-size Bust

Why would you want a down payment required

Re: Darth Vader life-size Bust

to keep people from ordering and driving up the ES..and then cancel it.

Re: Darth Vader life-size Bust

Why wouldn't they already have the edition size in mind? I wouldn't think orders would increase it -- it's not an inclusive.

I would think they have an edition size all ready set.. even if they don't publish it right away.

Re: Darth Vader life-size Bust

I don't want to pay up front.

Re: Darth Vader life-size Bust

Why would you want a down payment required

Down payment required = Fewer orders placed

Fewer orders placed = Lower edition size

Lower edition size = Piece more likely to hold value over time

VS.

No down payment required = Everyone orders

Everyone orders = Higher edition size

Higher edition size + cancellations = More supply than demand

More supply than demand = Less likely to hold value over time

Got it. I collect to have the piece to myself, I never worry about factors in resale, I'll only ever sell pieces if I'm in dire need of money.

it was just a thought of mine from a previous post...i'm sure they'll just do the usual and see how many people preorder and go off of that number.

LOL! What a joke! If they're gonna do it so half-assed, why make an interior design at all?

Re: Darth Vader life-size Bust

Is it just me or does $1200 seem like a bit much for a bust? I know it's an intricate design and I'm sure it's gonna be huge but still it seems like too much.
