Yeah, this one has been gradually increasing in value as more pics of this surface due to the incredible sculpt and use of mixed media. I knew it would be a hit since the day I ordered it but when I got it in hand I was even more taken aback by how well done it was. His cig. face sculpt to me ranks as the best ever done on a statue. Even the translucent energy cards (which I thought looked really cheesy in gallery pics) were extremely well done and looked spectacular in person. The pictures really do it no justice and it's really a miracle we see this guy in 1/4 scale glory. This will probably stay the best Gambit ever done. My only regret is I didn't get one more to custom paint :(

Other than Wolverine and the Hulk of course Gambit was my favorite character growing up. Good thing I've never had the chance to see him in person though, otherwise I would have broken the bank months ago to get him...
 
I love this statue, but missed my chance to buy it from an online retailer for retail price. I wasn't willing to buy it for $600 then and def not paying 1k for it now. I do envy those who were able to aquire this for retail though. For me personally its not worth much more than retail, but thats just my opinion.

I couldn't agree more.
 
^ Nice!

Gambit was sold out by the time I started collecting last year, so in my case it made sense to just go for a regular, which I got. I'm very happy with my decision because he was on the rise when I started and has steadily gone up since then, so waiting for an affordable Ex wouldn't have happened. He's one of my favorite characters anyway so I just had to jump on the 1st good opportunity. Even Regulars are expensive at this point. Not quite grail, but very strong potential.

Same with you, started late so was able to get the regular through some collectors here in the Philippines. It was expensive, but I didn't mind. :)
 
I actually think the reg is better. You still get the COH and personally i think the energised cards look poxy. I like the card without the cheesy pink bit, looks cleaner and more natural.

That's what I thought b4 I saw them in hand. Have you seen them IRL by any chance.
 
Anybody have a pic of Gambit packed up in the box styrofoam? :monkey3

Sold him and now I need to pack him up.

After seeing the EX in person I wouldn't be happy with the regular. The EX cards = Skaar Axe, you gotta have it.

i really love the EX cards but the regular cost me $275 shipped back in the day so hard to complain. If someone had an extra EX hand, i would totally be up for buying it.

Skaar's different cuz the axe also puts the sword on his back. You go from 2 weapons to 3, it's a bigger difference there.

I have a Reg too, got it last year and paid $75 over retail. A decent deal at the time, and you won't find that price now. Of course the EX is better, but there's a total of 1750 Gambits. In a world of Open ES and ES for EXs alone ranging 1250-2000, plus with this statue being 2 years old now and so many people still trying to get it, and the fact he's still the best sculpt of the X-Men, I'm quite comfortable with my Reg. I feel like Sarakawa, I'd like the EX hand but I'm not really checking for it.
