Grey Hulk Wait List Conversion

[LOTRFan]

i dont understand dropping a line just because it is slow....

imo, if the pieces released are awesome, who cares how slow it is? I rather have 2 great PFs a year than 5 mediocre ones. Also you get more time to save up and not put such a hurt on the wallet.

In theory I agree, but I would like to see the major players done before my kids graduate from college.

I'm also thinking about dropping the PF LOTR Line.

With the line being slow and so many other awesome statues coming out, its an easy pass. Theres no more excitment about the LOTR PF line. Frodo looks aweful, and thats a big blow to the line for me. Why wait and hope for a new statue not knowing if it will be a hit or a miss, when I can spend my money on the Grey Hulk.

But I'm actually dropping the LOTR PF line for the new GG LOTR stuff. And the rumour about a new SS LOTR new (hopefully Poly) is another reason to drop the overpriced PF's.

The Marvel PF line is the most well rounded one at the time. Enough releases to keep the interest, high quality stuff and more exciting pieces than recent SW PF releases. Grievous did not get as much love as Hulk is getting. Reactions have been mild at best on Luke/Yoda.

LOTR is a distant 3rd and I think people are getting tired of waiting. Not only that but the announcement of a new LOTR line tells us that SS will not be focusing as much on the PF line. That says a lot when only 2 pieces have been released so far.

due to the low edition size for the marvel line, like around 1000 to 1200 for both EX and regular but the star wars PF line made way to much edition size both combine EX and regular, close to 4000 to 4500.

I tell you this guys: if Toyfair doesn't reveal some exciting PFs (as in at least 2) for the LOTR PF line I think you may see some people dropping the line and just getting 1 or 2 main characters at most. People are already going with the GG busts and maquettes as is.

I agree the huge ES for the SW PF line is ridiculous. You can pick up any of those pieces on ebay very easily. Look at Boba Fett PF with his matching ES for both regular and exclusive. Stuff like that just should not be. I know the main point here is to get good looking pieces but I don't like spending $300 today and 4 months from now seeing the same piece for $200. Or Sideshow offering it to people right after they check out after a purchase because they have so many in the warehouse. There are many other collectibles that retain their value better that deserve my "immidiate purchase" dollars.

The new editions with regular and exclusive being the same is stupid. I canceled the new PF Luke because of the high edition size, and another Luke available at PF. Why can't they make a SW edition at 179, Grey Hulk will always hold value, and he's just as popular as SW.

See, that's what's different with the Attakus pieces. There are always 1500. No more, no less. No exclusives, or inclusives. 1500 worldwide. And sometimes an extra 200 for the Japanese market. There are several Attakus pieces selling for well over $1000. I really doubt that any SSC PF will ever hit that much. You can always say that the SSC SW PF's are state of the art. But they are seldom "rare". Making a 1500 exclusive General Grievous, just to release an other 2500 regular versions, doesn't make Grievous special, but the cape.

you guys make good points but all i want is the product. i didn't buy the first luke from SS(mostly b/c I didn't know about SS when it came out) and waited and got him and han for about $300 which was almost the price for one of them but i bought the luke/yoda excl from SS and am completely happy with it, even though i paid full price. if there were only 1500 of a SW piece, A LOT of fans would miss out and that's not a good thing. at that point we should all lube ourselves up for the flippers....just so it doesn't hurt as much.
