How much is shipping from Enterbay?I mean it's $400 at BBTS. Don't know what the direct pre order price at Enterbay is. I'd say no more than $300. I think it will even be less. But I guess we'll see.
And will they mark things down for customs?

Not for #23 either. Crazy price for molded plastic.
The one from Bill is the new goatee one, just a dark pic:

no, its not molded plastic, thats the problem, its really art!
can anyone mold plastic and make it look like this? NO, its the art of the sculpt and then even more so the paint application.
People spend thousands of dollars on paintings which are just paint and a canvas, those supplies are even cheaper than plastic, much cheaper.
People spend hundreds and even thousands for REPRINTS of art that is just a printer (fancy one at that) throwing ink onto paper or a canvas.
Thats how I compare these figures, to art lithographs, its just a reproduction but its art, looks awesome and in this case is a limited edition. I just sold one of my hot toys figures for $400 which will pay for this Jordan, and looking at both of them I would much rather have the Jordan (assuming there are no QC issues like broken joints or leg length issues)
Can I borrow your soap box for a minute...
Everything you said is true, from your point of view of course. The original value of these figures should hold up over time but like anything else the more they make the less value they hold. I don't want to $h!t on anyone's purchase of this Jordan because I would buy it if $400 was nothing to me. But let's not fool ourselfs either...
mona lisa is goin to hold her value a lot longer than Jordan.
#23 will really pi$$ me off its sold for more than $250! I do feel they will try for $299 and I really want a red #23 but come the F on! Really?! The prices on these figures in just the 3+ years I have been collecting has gone through the roof!!
Ya the face detail and paint jobs have deffinetly increased 1000%. The original T2 from HT brought me into this hobby. It was and is still amazing! It also cost me $169? Don't tell me the quality has gotten any better since either. That figure is still one of the best made. So why have prices doubled??
Profit margin. Simple... Supply and demand. But what happens when the supply just keeps coming? There is a lot of Jordan's coming our way for my understanding..
Dope!
