A little holier than thou? Did it really affect you personally?

I sold it because I am done collecting. I canceled all my pre-orders. I am not a flipper.
SS still has this slated for March which is right around the corner! Is PCS good at pumping their items out on the original release dates?

I hope it's still on as scheduled.
Geez, March sure is turning out to be an expensive month.

Oh no sorry to hear your not collecting anymore. Was there a reason to quit or just time to move on? As for flippers I don't mind them too much. As long as I get mine who cares for them. I sometime do have to buy from flippers but it's all part of the game. Hey if they beat me to the game then I must pay up. It's also my own fault for coming into the game so late. Btw statues are not good things to really make any money because of the very dangerous breakage issues, super high eBay and paypal fees, and they hold your money which could be really invested into so much better things. One thing they are good for is trading for missing statues we all need. Even though I think that's flipping too. I can't complain about it. It's just a part of all hobbies. My 2 cents. I hope you come back in the future to collecting. Maybe just buy a few? Come on get a wonder woman, or batman at least?

Well if selling higher then retail or market price, everyone can called flipper , I myself like and welling to pay lots money for statue cause there is value , I am selling market price cause I have to pay more money to get the one I missed before 2010, which was a lot. Also need to sell some for new po statue cause I don't have room.
I think pcs is always late for the new statue, so we have to be Patient for that.

I think Jerry said on the other forum that these are shipping from China to the US at the end of March.

Fingers crossed that the paint app is up to expectations.
My Ex just convertedCan't wait to get this now. Wondering if I should keep my reg also.
Lucky dog! How long ago did u waitlist?
I got on there 9-7-12 at 16:01:58. I think that was the day it went to waitlist.

Very cool!
Congrats on the conversion.
This piece isn't getting that much attention, but wait until those first in-hand pics start showing up. It'll be a frenzy in here.

I'd keep the reg dude. Most Sagat fans would prefer the red and blue shorts by far anyway.
You'll easily be able to make 100-200 from it.
This piece is shaping up to be another Vega/Gief.

Yeah, if I was smarter, I would have picked up the regular too.
This sculpt is amazing.

I had the chance at both but I had to go regular. Red and blue just IS Sagat. The alt colours they chose are not really a popular colour scheme among street fighter history/fans.
They should have went for the white/red championship shorts.
The limited edition long pants on the other hand....great choice. That bad boy will be worth about a thou if not more.
Speak for yourself
Google image search Sagat. You should instantly notice the two most common colour schemes are blue/red and blue/yellow.

Who needs 25 years of Street Fighter games when we can just use google eh?. A wealth of knowledge at your finger tips in 5 seconds....
The blue and yellow shorts are from Street Fighter Alpha, a much later game which was about as popular as a fart in a space suit. Nobody like it, nobody played it.
Traditionally Sagat was red and blue followed by white and red or red and green for the championship edition (why they just didn't stick with this format I don't know) since these seem to be Street Fighter 2 statue's.
Why would anyone bother then you ask? Well it's a video game statue and they are best off picking colours that represent the character from the most popular editions IMO.
Not that it would really matter to some folk, half the people that collect these things buy them purely based on looks alone - ZOMG SAGAT! BAD ***!! I'll get that one...
Don't get me wrong, it's not the worst colour choice and the second HS is a nice edition but I still like the Reg better. I think if the regular had 2 heads the EX wouldn't be shifting which is why I assume they chose to sell it this way.
I'm surprised they didn't include the extra HS with the Reg but I really don't care for the teeth look anyway. A laughing head on the other hand - I would have been all over that bad boy.
Just personal preference at the end of the day.
EDIT : Also technically, the Alpha shorts always had a slightly babyish blue to them - but that's opening up a whole new can.

each subsequent Street Fighter II surpasses the entire Alpha series in popularity. I don't agree. I've never come across another person speak so ill of Alpha.
Part of the reasoning behind the choosing of his blue/yellow colours is they represent Sagat when he was driven by anger, as does the alternate portrait. The two go together. It's also part of the reason you see so much fan art with the blue/yellow shorts. Fans love that part of Sagat's history.
