Init man, prints cost a fortune.

On a separate note, i want to pick RAY up but i just bought a house that needs renevating and i gotta pay for solicitor fees and ****, so RAY may well not be an option for now..

Snake Plissken might also be getting cancelled

You wanna try collecting the art side of things, once you get that itch it's a couple of hundred here, couple of thousand there.

He is ridiculously big like but a definite must!
Prints are a set price in general unless on the secondary. Original art is crazy, people just make up amounts in their heads.
My last count I had whittled it down to about 36 originals, need to shift some of the MGS comic covers.
 
It's not official yet, but it may go that way.

Lucky thing for me is that Plissken will be around in the UK for a while i reckon, so i don't need to pick him up on release

Jed i don't have any straight up original i don't think, the prints cost enough as it is. The recent prints are £400 delivered to the UK, lord knows the cost of an OG print.

My friend who owns the company i work for got a picture of Solid drawn by Yoji they they put his name on it. That is the sort of thing that's priceless to me

That's amazing, man. I really wanted to get into prints, but it's really far out of my budget to even consider it. You can make an entire MGS collection with just one or a few rare things drawn by Yoji Shinkawa.

I've got Plissken on pre-order, but I'm really glad it's delayed at the moment, as I've got some other payments that need more attention.
 
Amen. I shudder to think how much money I've spent since 1998 on MGS. Probably enough to start my own farm or buy a spare organ.
I shudder to think how much I've spent on MGS in the last year alone, especially after paying some slight scalper (mostly on Solid Snake, and maybe later Cyborg Ninja...)prices here and there despite some sales helping. I think it may only get worse next year, damn.
 
I don't think I've spent that much this year, that's a lot :lol

Maybe if I get RAY before this year is out I'll be hitting the £1500 mark. Not sure what that is in $$
 
This hobby certainly isn't getting cheaper. I've cut down on collecting a bit, and haven't paid scalper prices in a while on Ebay, so I'm at least thankful for that.
