Re: Prime 1 studio - Optimus Prime (official pictures page 1)

I don't care what Doom they release, this one is ****ing epic and will stay with me forever. I'd sell my other stuff before this statue. Not trying to make it hard for you though. You do as you like but i think you'll regret it.

and you are often more right that wrong Jay....hmmmm....maybe i'll give it another think what else can I do to raise $2k?

Sell your body?

Great idea! That's $4K right there! Hell, might even get Megatron to display alongside Prime

Joking aside, its the sad reality of this hobby for so many of us...having to let go pieces in our collection that we'd ideally like to keep. Then again, I haven't visited Jay Manors recently...I'm sure you don't have that problem eh Jay or should I call you Ted Di Biasi aka The Million Dollar Man

I don't have the money right now for Prime if he was to come out in the next few months. My dogs have stripped a big chunk of my collection funds with vet trips. Molly cut her foot and that cost over £100 to treat and Mikey had liver problems that's cost me £100's. Now i'd sell my whole collection to make sure they're fine. If i needed treatment i'd just suffer to get Prime.

Sorry to hear about the pups mate...I know how much they mean to you hope they are feeling much better.

For me, its the ****** part of being in this hobby when you realise that either you cant afford to keep up with all the new stuff constantly being released by Sideshow or any other company for that matter, not only that, but also running out of space is also another factor for us collectors which is almost like hitting your head against a brick wall cos you know that you'll have to let pieces go to make space or basically, like me, look for a bigger home!

Still, wont hurt to add another huge shipping box to mount ontop of the others...it is one shipping box for Prime right?

I'm not even joking, my shippers are piling up so high that I need a ladder just to add another to the top

Yeah he's almost better now and her foot is fine now. She didn't like having to walk around with a plastic bag on her foot that the vet gave. She kept trying to get it off. I'm sure she thinks her name is "leave it" now. I said it that many bloody times.

Yeah room is a big problem. I'm trying to sell my Hellboy but no luck yet. I think it's because it's collection only. I don't want to send it through the post because royal mail wouldn't refund a guy a bought off a few weeks back. I'm not sure if special delivery covers everything? I don't want to end up with no money and a broken statue.

Same here, don't mind posting certain things but for those valuable pieces like half scales, or your comic Dooms and Thor PFs', then it's collection all the way like you said, it does hinder you somewhat doing it that way but hell, I'd rather do it safely than have some postguy play head tennis with the box at the warehouse

Yeah it's not worth the risk. I'd rather box them and put them in storage for a year. Then switch with another statue and just rotate the collection. How much did you get for your EX Hellboy?

Ooooohhh, that was a while ago...think it was about GBP315 (mind you, that was cash on collection) nice guy come to think of it...was really happy with it. I actually liked that Hellboy a lot been tempted to get that original Hellboy PF on eBay which is at GBP299.99 but cant afford it

Yeah i like it as well but i need the space and the money would help towards Prime. I have the EX at £300 BIN cash on collection. Plus they get to meet me. That's worth it on it's own.

Hey! That's my line!

What are your plans with these Transformers Jay? Displayed on their own or a group display?

Remember my picture with the 1:2 endo, AMP suit & Hulk? All those are moving and that will give me enough room for 6 of these statues in a custom glass case. Now i just need money.

Re: Prime 1 studio - Optimus Prime (official pictures page 1)

It's a stunner for sure. Nothing i don't like about it. Only thing that could make this better is if it was free.

Re: Prime 1 studio - Optimus Prime (official pictures page 1)

I was thinking of the best way to describe how Sideshow make me feel every time they announce a new piece...this was the best pic i could come up with

Some serious Sideshow Kali Ma Shaktide! Only difference being its not the heart that they're after but the wallet!!!
