Edition size for Exc. Sentinel Dio#3 set

[RoboDad]

logic like the fact that prety much anything with Wolverine in it sells at above average numbers?

Yeah, that too.

I remember when the Wolverine Comiquette went up for pre-order, there were LOTS of people who said they didn't like it very well for one reason or another. Like a fool, I fell victim to the group-think and canceled mine, thinking I might be able to get a deal later. Now that comiquette sells for more than double its original price, so I doubt I'll ever find a good deal on one again.

Make that 874 people who liked it, I bought it hoping it would be a smash hit and I could trade it for a SSW piece

I never said the people who liked it all liked it as part of their own collection. I would hazard a guess that if it does turn out to be a smash hit, and you can use it to barter for a piece you really want to keep, then you will "like it" for having served that purpose, no?

Ummm... No. That would be the REGULAR edition, not the EXCLUSIVE. The ES of the EXCLUSIVE edition is 875, and it's sold out.

ummm, you're right. the exclusive version isn't available at a retailer. but your logic is flawed. 875 people that like it not counting flippers.

Which I am sure was at the heart of the decision. Let's remember back when Sideshow cared about a low ES like in the Wolvie Vs Sabretooth Ex or the Wolvie Comiquette Ex...

You can blame them but at the same time (from a business point of view) you can not. Regardless, the days of classic/negative Spideys and Grey Hulk Vs pieces with low ES are over. This just confirms it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sideshow still throws out a super limited item every now and again. Of course you are probably right since Stealth Iron Man was supposed to be this years super low es item.

Watch them do a SUPER LOW ES of this statue (like 50) that has lights. I might just cry if I don't get one of those.

No, it's the ONLY thing.

Yeah, that too.

When it first shipped you could have gotten deals on it. It didn't go up in price for a while. I think it was waiting till I sold mine for what I paid. Then it went up.

Yeah, that's what usually happens to me, too.

Ya know, after seeing this a few times now, I actually like it more than #2 - they both are lacking, but at least Wolverine on his own (with his mask ON) looks cool...

I guess all of you really didn't hate it like you said.

 

[RoboDad]

I guess all of you really didn't hate it like you said.

1) It's Marvel

2) It's Wolverine

3) It completes the Sentinel dio line

4) 'Nuff said
