Jerry/PCS had this to say over at statue forum in the MK Goro thread.
Looks as if many will be passing on future releases with inevitable inflated asking prices. I think a lot of people will be finding their limit very soon as to what they will accept as "reasonable" to continue in this hobby.
1:5 - $400
1:4 - $500
Maquette - $900
1:1 bust - $1000
LSF - $3000
Another two or three years of this an SS will have phased out a large portion of their collector base.
This is going to get interesting for both SS and collectors very soon.

I know there is some chatter about pricing on Goro
- Goro is huge. Bigger than Sagat. The base is also huge as his feet are splayed out wide.
- Because we are now selling to distributors around the world prices have to go up to accommodate their percentage of profit. To balance this we offer a discount when you pre-order direct through us.
- Costs are rising in China again. Factory representatives actually flew out to Los Angeles a few weeks ago to discuss with us and other companies. You will see this reflected in other companies prices over the next 12 months.
- Goro is priced comparatively to other statues his size.
- His ES, even the regular, is significantly lower than most.
As far as the hands covering the face. They really dont. Everyone who saw it in person agreed.
