The red 45 has the date on it, 23's dont, at least in the pics here:

Good, no need a date on the regular 23's. You'd need a calendar for Mike.

Apparently a lot of people since its already sold out

Apparently, these are all signs which mean people don't want the 45 versions and aren't willing to pay top dollar for Jordan figures...

You guys ignored that I meant "without warm ups".

Without the exclusive warm ups included in both #45 versions, I don't think they would be as sought after. Not for $400-$700 anyway. If the normal release #23 versions came with the same warm ups, I'd guess there would be a whole bunch of peeps passing up on the #45 versions.

I don't know if they would be selling out as fast without the warm ups at BBTS (there's a whole bunch of collectors out there), but I'm guessing there would be much less peeps scurrying to BBTS, trying to place a pre order, if they knew the #23 versions were planned.

This white #45 Jordan is the FIRST we are able to order here in the states. After what happened with the red #45 and the way they sold them as well as taking into account how most of us are a "give it to me now!" society. All of the above speaks to the fast sell outs as much as anything. If they released all 4 Jordan's (white/red #45/23) at once I bet the #23's would be gone faster than the #45's. Infact with so many of the #45 being made they would probably be up for sale for a while. Good marketing on Enterbays part..

Warm ups or no warm ups its hard to pass on getting your first high end Jordan.

It's tough to say because 2000 red/3000 white 45's may seem like a lot, but worldwide, for the very first 1/6th version of MJ, it's really not that much. I look at these MJ figures like Hot Toy Iron Mans. Before it was re-released, the MK II was fetching for well over double even triple its og price. Same with the SDCC Gunmetal one.

They were basically the same figure as the main MK III but people love variants and there's no denying "completists" and "late comers" will drive continue to keep value rising. Worst case scenario, you won't lose your $400 you paid from BBTS should you decide to sell it later.

^^Prime example.

Not to mention, for some, myself included, 45 marked the return of the greatest basketball player of all time. The warmups are great and I like them, but I like the 45 jersey quite a bit too. Considering the amount of MJ fans out there and the limited qtys of these, I most definitely see the value of these rising. Not to mention the head sculpt unique to the white 45 and the shoes might be unique to their respective 45 versions. Those factor in as well to uniqueness and desirability for collectors.

I really wonder if the warm-ups are indeed exclusive to the 45's, or if they will ever be included with other Jordan releases in the future. Is Enterbay known for playing that kind of card with collectors?

 

[Jaycepticon]

Yeah, I wonder that too. And does anybody know if you get both colors of XI's with the regular white #23?

 

[Lawrence]

I guess they could include some kind of variant warm ups (how many warm up styles did the Bulls have during those years?) with the #23 versions. To straight up re use the "exclusive" warm ups for the #23 versions would be poor taste on EB's part. Although .....

I wouldn't mind

Unless it goes for $700 on eBay

I don't think they will straight up re use the warm ups for the #23 versions, but then again, I wouldn't be overly surprised if EB pulled something like that.

I think we will be seeing the white #45 head sculpt again for sure. It will come with the '92 Olympic Jordan. Seems only logical as he had a goatee then. They seem to be using the same head with the red #45 as with the white/red #23's?

No Enterbay usually don't cross that line.
If their HD line was any indication, the exclusives that came with Joker, Batman and Bruce Lee were limited and when gone, were gone.

I doubt they'd market the warmup as exclusive and then include it with the 23.

 

[Lawrence]

Remember that "exclusive" 'Game Of Death' head sculpt that was meant to be limited to 300 SAB? That's now the head sculpt (minus the battle damage) for the 'Black Label' statue, & I think the number for the exclusive sculpt went from 300 to 450 or something.

I'm simply saying I don't think EB isn't above doing dodgy stuff.

Edit: You reminded me about our WotD situations. I'll update there

I had the chance to see this in hand yesterday, since my friend got it. Feels very sturdy and heavy. Joints are firm and the paint on the shoes arent sloppy at all. Heck, they even printed on the 'MJ's accomplishment' lists on the bottom of the shoes which was a nice touch, although i did nottice the jump man logo was a bit out of placed.

Ha, they included the BR Mask (not the socks) with all of the N.A. releases. Just sayin'

Nice. Not as nice as owning it yourself, but still nice that you got to see it in person.

 

[DeathlyFighter]

Anywhere reliable to order this from?

 

[Lawrence]

Not if you're a Sonics fan .....



BigBadToyStore is pretty popular, if you're after the white #45 version.
