Re: Magneto - Premium Format tease (?)
SS just found another milking cow. When XM came into the picture, SS was probably surprised that people are willing to pay more. However, they failed (or ignored) the fact that collectors are willing to pay more if they get quality pieces in return. I'm not saying that all XM pieces are several notches higher than SS but with the terrible QC SS has involving a lot of their pieces, XM was just the alternative a lot of collectors are waiting for. XM was able to deliver what collectors are craving for especially in terms of quality control and execution.
I will not be surprised if SS will place a price tag of at least $800 on Magneto with an ES of 3,000 minimum. Just like what I said above, collectors won't mind paying a higher price and probably ignore the high ES as long as it translates into superb concept, sculpt and paint. Most especially, you won't receive your piece with a lot of broken pieces, scratches and parts that won't sit flush.
