It will still be limited to how many people own this piece in the world so who cares 7 billion people in the world millions of Thanos fans and some hard core ones, some that don't even know that sideshow exist and might not until years from now just to see an amazing Thanos piece was released years ago and sold out lol. Even if it were 2,000 regular think about that only 2,000 out of 7 billion have that statue! I'm happy with the regular edition now would I have preferred the Ex of course but hey you win some and lose some I go through this type of pain with everything from comic variants to shoe releases it's part of the game you win or lose, at least in this particular case I can still get a statue just with an add on missing if it were shoes and they sold out then I get nothing. Plus we have the luck that there is other skilled artist out there willing to do extra pieces like heads and nobody will say hey that head isn't original to that statue but back to the shoes there is no person who could replicate the exact shoe I want and not have someone tell me I have a knock off lol. So I say congratulations to both parties the EX and the regulars we own something that a very small amount of people in this world will own. Be thankful we can even afford this hobby that means most of use are blessed with good jobs and have that type of income to spend it on things like this. Proud regular edition owner and print owner
