Re: Iron Studios - Spider Man Legacy Replica - 1/4 Scale from "Far from Home"
So the only ones to chime in are three Australian's who also happen to like diorama's. I wonder if it's a national quirk.
And what's worse is that we probably have to pay more get this statues in anyway, so high prices are nothing new due to our falling currency and the increase in shipping costs etc.
Just in the last 5-6 years, statues for us have literally doubled. For example premium formats when I first started collecting were around $500-$550 AUD at Popcultcha (Australia), and now the newer ones are going for $900-$1,200 AUD. Whereas during that time the retail price was probably just under $400 USD and now they're $600-$700 USD.
So while US residents have had to deal with a 50-60% increase, we've been dealing with a 200% increase. So we're probably long used to getting ripped off on these so called collectables.
I’m guessing an edition size of 300. I’m another collector that has this on order, the light up features sold me on this piece, and like Phoenixblazes like a good diorama. For me because I only get movie pieces, I guess I have more room in the budget to pay a little more. Not collecting comic statues saves me in the long run.
I'll definitely be getting this. I don't have it on preorder yet. I'm waiting to see when the rest of the End Game pieces come out so I don't have too much overlap.
I really love the base on this, I like a dio type base when it works for the character. This does.
