Sideshow GODZILLA Maquette

[Centurion]

Oh LOL!!

Well the seller was cool and offered almost 300.00 back so I took that.. Much better then trying to ship it again and worry about all of that... Now I have to figure out how to make some tiny claws .. Either way I feel better about the deal now.

Sounds like a cool deal.

Where did all the excitement go for this piece?
Did the soft details and short tail scare everyone off?
Or was it that he's not colorful enough?

Still excited. It's been revealed and it won't ship till July, not much else to discuss.

Think it was the price

Looking to get this locally once I see the production piece.

Indeed. Still looking forward to this as well and hope it doesn't disappoint.

Waiting for coupon and es.

This is one piece that a huge ES will stop me buying.
High ES means local retailer discount later.

I know that was my case indeed. All the excitement went away instantly.

Same here.

It'll either be a low ES or in hand pics that sells this to most people.

For me it's if i can get one on the cheap down the line lol.

Lee has this up for a great price.

It's a tough call. Can't see there being huge demand for a very expensive, smallish, Maquette but they need to produce enough for Authorised Dealers all over the world and direct orders.
Hopefully they reveal soon.

I think a lot of people will be surprised by the size in hand, the Knifehead was endlessly belittled for only being 17" Tall, but in reality it is a huge piece that takes up a lot of space when you take all dimensions into account. Zilla is Bigger. I expect the ES on this will be quite low.

 

[Collectorcol]

Yeah, girth counts

 

[Asdf]

Yeah, girth counts

Indeed

 

[Centurion]

I have to agree with everyone here.
In my case, since there is no EX, I would be buying this out of state (to avoid taxes)... assuming it's worthy of purchase.

I'm not paying £500 for it. At this point it's not worth £500. If i can pick it up for around £300 on ebay or something i'd take a look at it for that.

If it sells out and the price goes sky high and i never get to see it in hand...not that big a deal.

I wanna see it hand and see how it comes out more than i actually want it....if that makes any sense.

 

[para50]

I refuse to pay £500 for it too. It's not that I can't afford it, it just isn't worth that much. I don't understand how people can be so unhappy about the price but say they'll just suck it up and buy it anyway. It's basically letting Sideshow know that they can bump their prices up at will if they ever want to add a nice chunk to their profit margin. If everyone refused to allow this and didn't buy, they'd realise that they can't get away with ripping us off. This stuff is already expensive enough.

Good luck with that.

You didn't order the P2 Maquette then?

 

[para50]

Nah, I like it but the price just seems like a joke. When I look at it, I don't see something that's worth 3 x the value of other statues I've bought.

None of us do, it's called self restraint... we don't have it
