Do you usually care if you get the Exclusive or do you not really mind?

[ChunkyZergling]

I don't care. Usually the regular display is better than the the exclusive and I don't switch displays especially to something not as good. And on the secondary market the exclusively are definitly way over priced.

If the exclusive is a piece of art, like a lithograph, I pass.
If it's an extra thingy, like an endoarm, skull, I pass, who needs stuff that will probably fall, get lost.
I don't like the alternate head sculpt thing, unless they give you a stand to display the alternate piece.
I get really picky when it comes to choosing an exclusive over the "plain" item.
It's all on a case by case basis.

EX OR FAIL

Depends if I want the extra bad enough. sometimes I get the extra exclusive seperate on ebay, although prices are silly for things like that. I might have to do that with the Joker 2.0 as I have just the regular on PO and would like the Detonator and Grumpy's Clown Mask Might have to pay a small fortune for it though on the bay

 

[ChunkyZergling]

The only pieces I care about getting the exclusive are Deadpool, Batman PF, iceman comiquette, Colossus comiquette.

Love the ex man, I dunno i like anything extra lol.

If the exclusive is a switch out head or arm/hand holding a different accessory then its ALWAYS better to get it if you can.

But I'm left scratching my head by some people on this site when the EX is a slight variation of some kind and they post, "I like the regular edition better but I have to get the EX!"

wtf?

 

[Darth Madden]

I'll usually try for the Exc as long as its the same price but if I initially pass on something and the Exc price gets out of control (like Skaar) then I dont mind the reg.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Only if it's a print

 

[karamazov80]

It depends. I used to get exclusives just because I was going through Sideshow anyway to get their customer service (and rewards points). Price wasn't all that great, so I figured why not? But after experiencing some really disappointing shifts with their customer service over the last year, I don't have a strong incentive to order directly from Sideshow anymore. So, probably more regulars in my future.

EX OR FAIL

Unless it's the R2D2/C3PO PF in which case reg > EX.

Being an international customer I only go for certain ex's doesn't seem to big an issue these days, but used to mean I had to get up at 4:00am when orders went up if I wanted the ex

me too but these days are long gone and that takes away some of the enjoyment of collecting and scoring an exclusive version

 

[DarthChrisDK]

Depends what the EX is. If it's something that changes the appearance of the piece (to the better), or gives me more display options, if it's a print, then I'm all in. If it's just a hand or something, I don't give a damn.

 

[Firebird]

Will purchase the Exclusive if it is still available, if not, then I don't mind settling for the Regular version.

 

[INFECDEAD]

It's actually much cheaper for me to get the Ex than to try and get a reg from a local seller here in Australia.
Unless it's over 1k then I have to work out taxes, duty and shipping which usually makes local purchase a better option.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

If I happen to like the Ex on a collectible then I'll go for it otherwise I don't mind getting the reg.

 

[HittriX]

It depends on the EX, only if i really like it, i'm from europe so the cost difference matter.

 

[Murderofcrows71]

If it is an item pertinent to that specific character then I'll order it. Other wise I pass.
