Star Wars: Frames

[icruise]

It would be funny to see it go up for gift card use. As if saving a maximum of $100 on a $4000+ item would be a big incentive.

With prices this high, you know that fakes are practically guaranteed to come out. If the prices were more reasonable, that could not happen.

Yeah but people probably wouldn't even pay for the fakes.

Did you report it as SPAM? I did pick up the LE Sculpting a Galaxy but it was from another retailer and discounted 50% (only $150). I think expecting us to drop $4k just a teensy weensy bit ridiculous. The Frames set is nice, but not $4k nice. I've also been noticing that when I go to the site this past week, the Samaritan Ex video pops up and starts auto-playing. I think they're stepping up advertising, trying to move the higher-end items but still nobody's buying due to the recession. Then there's the $18k bronzed chocolate Vaderbunny .

 

[icruise]

I know, I thought the "express update" email for the Samaritan and the auto-playing of the video were signs that they are desperate to get rid of those things.

 

[Kenbenobi]

I didn't get that email, but I do find it amusing. You'd think $1500 off would be a bargain! But not when they start at $5500! I know it is big and heavy, but seriously?!?!?! I remember when the Limited Edition Pop-Up book came out for $300, and I thought that was ridiculous. This brings ridiculous to a whole new level...

I did see this at SDCC, and can state it looks awesome. But this item is meant for Hollywood stars and famous musicians to purchase, not the standard Sideshow Freak...

Definately struck me that was as well. I called it too, I was sad about cancelling my Sam order; but I knew they would be around for a long time.

[BadMoon]

Hmmm....they still have the ones for only $4000.00. Guess I know what I am buying everyone for Christmas.

 

[BadMoon]

Just wanted to update you guys and let you know that 1 thru 250 is still available.

 

[Darth Madden]

There is a shocker. I bet they are a lot closer to 1 than to 250 too.

 

[The ill Jedi]

Great idea and awesome box with a "WTF!?!" price.
