Yup. Like I said. Discussed to Death.RoboDad said:Well, here we go again with another "let's bash the people who prefer low edition sizes" thread, where a bunch of people make gross (and pathetically wrong) assumptions and generalizations about them.
Whoopie.

While I may err on the side of not caring about edition sizes, we all like the figures and enjoy them so it's probably not necessary for every other thread to turn into this![]()

The problem is it's worth far less now that is shipped.

*Datu Puti is the company and "Sukang Maanhang" is just pinoy for Spicey Vinegar. Its easy to make and sooooooo deeliseeyose as they say.

If the edition sizes are so large then shouldn't the figure prices reflect that as well? Wasn't one of the main reasons for the higher price on the SS figures due to the limited number of figures manufactured and subsequently sold?
$60.00 for a 12" figure limited to an ES of 5000 I can understand. But $60.00 for 12" figure limited to an ES of 10,000 starts to blur that whole "Limited Edition" description.
Plus, SS is selling most of these directly at MSRP which is cutting out the middle-man and thus making them additional cash-o-la.
And with higher edition sizes come more quality control issues, as has been the case with some of their LOTR poly pieces. (paint issues and repairs being glossed over, for example.)
