Got me one :chew

These couldn't ship soon enough. Missed out on the original release and although i prefer that one, this looks incredible.

what was the cost?

...best thing they could do is set a higher es and screw the flipper that bought 4.

But that would also screw the collectors that like their collectible to at least maintain it's value... The thing I really dislike about flippers, is that they always inspire other people to search for ways to neutralize them, be it with an higher ES, or a higher price. And sincere collectors are always the victim of that.

I agree,make it a high ES so all who really want one and couldn't attend SDCC are able to get one,

I say, keep the ES low, and just sell a limited number at the SDCC. Give the freaks, fans, customers that can't go to the SDCC a fair chance at it. It's perfectly understandable that SSC wants to sell their stuff to the people at the SDCC. That's part of the whole operation. But if they intend to offer some items at a very limited run, they should make sure that all those that can't be there with them, should not be left out. All attendees that wouldn't be able to buy it at the SDCC because the quota is reached, would still have a chance to buy it online.

That guy is Scott Klauder and damn if that's the edition size, may God be with all who want one. I'm ordering mine Tomorrow!!

That's right Irish! I'm not entirely sure that this situation can be compared to last years Grey Hulk event - seem to remember that it was prematurely sold at the SDCC resulting in a slightly higher ES than originally planned (that's the way I see it anyway)- but that PPO didn't even last 2 minutes. That was for 150 (originally planned) pieces, which where also $100 more expensive than the Green version. If the ES for the Stealth Iron Man indeed lies between 100 and 300, PPO is going to be rough.

I hope I can get my hands on one. Looks so cool in the boothmap video.

if you check, more often than not, the item loses it's value. true that some shoot up to almost unheard of amounts but more fall than don't. that being said, many, many people want IM stealth. imo, they should give people what they want.

I really don't understand why they don't just increase edition sizes. period. That way, the cost could stay the same, they would make more $$ and scalpers could finally go the way of the dodo.

I also am completely bewildered by collectors who don't like larger edition sizes. If you purchase something because you like it, why would you have any concern whether there were 100, 1000 or 10,000?

This argument's been done. To death. You don't care about editions sizes. Good for you. But if you don't already understand that some people DO care about them, no amount of explaining will cause it to make sense to you. Just accept it. Not everyone does things for the same reasons you do.

I perfectly understand what you are saying, but I'm collecting long enough to know how it goes, and many items in my collection would cost you X-times more today, than the original price. The ascent of an items value is definitely not the most important part, but it's a very, very nice side effect. If you "give the people what they want" like you put it, it can only cause a general decline in interest and value. Sideshow knows that. That's why they handle the subject of edition sizes with care. Don't you see the "buzz" this Stealth version of the Iron Man is already causing? It's not because there will be like 5000 of them made.

so you're saying because the buzz of a low edition size, more people want it? i would have to think some may want it because of that reason but most would want it because it kicks butt!!! i personally would want this item, whether there were 50 made or 5000.

I do think that if sideshow made 4000 of these, it will still sell out. They really hit this statue (red and gold) out of the park with the great paint and quality. But, the word exclusive will indicate that it is another piece that will cost a grand to those of us not at the con.

this is getting WAY out of control.

I don't know about that. I heard that the sun was a strictly limited edition collectible (ES of 1!), and that it will be going on eBay tomorrow for [Dr. Evil]One Billion Dollars[/Dr Evil].
