$385 is high. That's why I'm hesitating. But honestly if I walked into my comic shop today and the owner had one in the display case for that much I'd wrench my back trying to get my wallet out quick enough.

Keep that pic on hand... we're going to need it pretty often these next few months.
I'm already getting excited for DX Luke.

I've never bit the bullet and bought straight from HK right after launch. What's a reasonable price? I was thinking 385 shipped would be around 100 over SS's price with shipping?
What dollar amount is worth not having to wait for 6 more weeks?
Remember, once its in hand, after a few days and many pictures, you (meaning all of us) are gonna move on to the next thing anyway.

No, not for me, but for Coco. I can wait... BUT, it might get temping down the line with the Star Wars releases. Luke looks great, but I have like six Luke figures in my collection already. But what if they made, say, Chewbacca? The temptation would be pretty overwhelming.
There are certain figures I will poverpay for. Chewbacca is one of them. So is Nicholson Joker. Been a grail figur for me for a decade in 1/6. Have that bootleg version with serious mods (blindvoyeur pants, Les sculpt) but I still crave this HT one like I've never had a Joker before in my life.
Not sure I'd pay $100 over but maybe half that if I can guarantee it within a week's time. That's the trick -- I don't want to get stuck with some asian dealer who keeps stalling me for weeks, then I overpay for something I could have waited 2 more weeks for and saved a bundle. And when that good price surfaces, you know a bunch of people will jump on it, so your order may be pushed back into the asian dealer's "split shipment"... and what do you do?

Love the figure amazing....still not a fan of the base. It takes away rather than adds.

It's tricky... I don't have many "grails" left at this point so it's hard to rationalize.
On a brighter note today's AE newsletter said Batman should hit in the next 30 days.

You are nuts my friend... no way I'd pay an extra $120 for a figure just to get it a bit early. Not to mention you've got like 20 Nicholson figures chilling at your house already
Exercise control, patience and cheapskatery... like me
Onto the figure; Holy Hell!!! That is badass looking; love the "jazz hands" shot
This figure really seems to convey the character Nicholson created... much more so than any of the Ledger Jokers were able to emmulate his performance. When I see these pictures I can clearly hear lines from Jack.

In some way I think the figure has taken on a more sinister look since the prototype shots.

On Twitter they said they're expecting their Batman shipment by the end of March.

Really wished they did another bloody HS, I could get another HS of him, and do a custom job on the extra HS, the problem is in the movie when the joker was bleeding, his hair was a mess and sticking out all over the place, so it wouldn't look right, no matter how much I tried to bloody the mouth, his hair is way too slicked back, so it would just look all wrong....oh well.

It most certainly has. He's got that "wait until they get a load of me" look to him now. Still great, but maybe not as universal, as the more wide-eyed smilier look of the prototype.
Anyhow, so happy that this guy's been released and that he turned out so well. Now the countdown can begin for my Alter Ego Batman/Joker bundle!

These split shipments are going to get so crazy that even Cali residents will be forced to order from SS.
Unless waiting is not a big deal for them.
But in this hobby, waiting just plainly sucks.
