Stealth Iron Man 2 hour window.

The first flipper speaks out. Geeze, a second ago you were ready to order two. Do you like this thing or not?

Yes, I do want the statue. I want it very much. But, as I just said (and now say again, since you apparently missed it the first time), I have a hard time with the idea of paying 20-30% more than I need to to buy statue. Maybe you have bags of cash lying around, to the point that $50 here or $75 there is inconsequential to you. Unfortunately, that isn't the case for me.

If the ES is low enough that I believe that the price I would get from Sideshow is the best deal in the long run, I'll order it. Otherwise, I'll wait, and get one from eBay, and save that $50 for something else.

One thing you dont take into account Robodad is that We are talking about a Sideshow Marvel here...Rarely does a Sideshow Marvel piece devalues a lot...This aint Star Wars crap...

I personally hope the ES is really high so that I can just log on easily tomorrow and get out with my order. Screw ebay-I just want my Iron Man with lights....(it's not really stealth).

Couldn't agree more.

Here is the low down and dirty truth.

Sideshow is going to lose either way with "collectors"


If they set the ES high then the people who actually wanted this will rejoice while the scalpers b!tch and moan.

If the ES is too low the scalpers rejoice (robodad) and buy two while the poor people on dial up can't get through and miss out.


There is no magic number. Either way I am staying out of these threads once my order is in. I don't have the time or the patience to hear the same complaints over and over again....Have you guys seen the Frodo and Sam thread!?!?!

I really don't care either way as long as my order is in. The ES could be 5 or 3000 -just give me my "Stealth" IM.

I think there are more devalues, than values. You have the LSB, and Archive sets which are selling for discounted prices on the market.

Only thing I wish SS had done with SIM, was make a SDCC exclusive PO version.

i couldn't agree with you more Rory!

I won't complain either way. If is is a high ES I won't order, if it is low I will flip. No biggie either way.

If they made a SDCC ex. version, there would already be a thread 100 pages long *****ing about it.

Higher the better..Means we get ours..way to go Dusty..=)

agreed! thanks Dusty! :chew

 

[Ktjn]

does dont count.Why? cause I said so.

Heh. But they're so nice, and detailed.


Now that I think about it, since the ES on this will BE HUGE. I wouldn't doubt SS will go and make the IM LSB go stealth with an es of 100. Since, no one buys those anyways

No, she was talking about the toe fungus problem she has been having....maybe it was about you.

 

[galactiboy]

$299. You getting one?

Thanks for the info, but no... I was just curious about price. These are pretty awesome, but not really my thing. Hopefully everyone who wants one can have success tomorrow

Yes, these will be included in the total edition size, as it is a domestic exclusive, not a true Sideshow Exclusive. I *can* say that we would have a HUGE riot on our hands if we limited this piece to what was originally intended, not only from our collectors, but from our overseas distributors as well. The overwhelming public reaction to it, along with the completely unexpected final bid for the red/yellow light up version during the Diane auction, has been the subject of much discussion around these parts - one of the HUGE benefits of waiting to decide on an edition size until after the Con.

The Powers That Be at Sideshow DO listen, and do want as many collectors as possible to be able to get it without resorting to the secondary market, while still retaining it's value. Admittedly, that's a hard line to toe, and there's no way to please every single person, but we're hoping that all the listening has done some good and the majority of our collectors will be happy.

These threads always make for a very interesting read!

Ah there it is.
