Re: Sideshow Spider-Man Comiquette
Yeah, just pick up the new Com if that works for you. The reason some of these older pieces cost so much in the aftermarket is because something about them really appeals to collectors. Some peeps just look at a piece and know deep down they really have to have it. No other statue will do. I feel that way about the original Spidey Com and the Koto Spidey. For me personally, I'm blown away by these 2 Spidey statues and had to have them in my collection. Even if I didn't have them already, I would hunt them down and pay the aftermarket prices for them because I just haven't seen another Spidey statue that grabs me like those 2 do. However, there is nothing wrong with saving some $$$ and picking up the new Com if you like it. It's still a nice looking statue and if I didn't already have the first Spidey Com, I probably would have picked it up.
Oh well, the price for this piece is a bit high. Other than the hulk vs spidey (which i think is one of the best pieces ever made) and the retro spidey, this one is 3rd in terms of pricing.
I might just use my budget for the new comiquette which looks just as amazing + the rumored ASM2 piece for the price of this one. I have some disposable income right now but might not have it in the future.
I don't think spending over $1k for a piece is that justifiable in real life unless you have loads of money to spend.

I'm running out of room to put these as well
I know it's a lot of money, but it was one of those pieces I had to get.
OUCH!
