You still have the original? If so, don't spend 180 on this...use that money for something else. I never understood why people buy two of the same thing. :S


shut up james :monkey5
 
James, go get the Hot toys superman, or you suck.

For a back up/insurance. I wouldn't do it for many things, but for an all time favorite like the Takara BB, I like to have a back up piece in case something happens to one in the future. In fact, I had my original in a display case that was involved in an accident, but luckily nothing happened to Bats.

He could and would have been destroyed though (had he not been on the top shelf), and this was at a time when everyone was sold out and getting another would have cost $300+. I realized then that if the chance ever arose, I'd get another just in case. Plus this guy offers the option of displaying him with a different look from the movie, as well as an unmasked head. So thats another incentive.

I've done this a couple of other times, like for the Masterpiece Optimus Prime. But not too often. It'd be a FAST way to run out of room, and thats a rare commodity these days as it is :eek:

I would buy two Primes simply because I want one for the long haul. I wanna be able to play with the other Prime until it craps out, and have a second one.. but then I think to myself, that he goes for 250+ with the trailer and that's a PF right there! That's a quarter of a grand! I much rather throw that money towards a new collectible altogether.

And you shush Chase! :moon
 
They are still available at BBTS.

Oh I know and love BBTS but I really don't want to end up paying around $220 for this thing after shipping and customs. I think BBTS is amazing, a real decent company to buy anything from but the last thing I bought was a bit more hefty with customs.

If I ever pay over $200 for a figure I wouldn't be able to open it up and we know that would be useless being that this figure is simply stunning!

Same here but if anyone from Canada is willing to part with theirs I would be all over it like a fat woman on a cheeseburger.

I see what you mean. If I were to start breaking everything down into dollars and cents like that though, I would have ran for the hills from this hobby along time ago :lol

I do have a budget though, and I don't really collect random PF's or anything like that. I know what I want thats out there and whats coming. So even if I could have gotten a new...whatever that I didn't have before, I'd rather have 2 of something I really care about in this case. Your reasons for another Prime are mine for another Batman as well :D
 
i had 2 of these preordered, but had to cancel.. one.. definitely going to get a second tak bb figure no matter if i have to pay $250 incl shipping. but i dont think that price will shoot up that quick..will it?:monkey2
 
Here's my Deal,

I had a HT BB and loved it. My only nit was the Cowlsculpt and lack of articulation. So I sold it a few months ago for 190 and picked up a Tak last week... Because the HT only cost me 125 I kind of got the Tak cheap...

When HT makes a DK it will be amazing, Joker too and I'll get both but if HT doesn't remake the original BB Suit with corrected HS as it appears in DK earlier in the film, I figure I'll have the BB Tak to rep the BB Fig.
 
mine should be shipped from hong kong on monday...than take 7-10 days...
 
The boys looking over Gotham.


Ok, I'm just getting into the batman figs from SW stuff... And I have no idea who made that awesome Keaton Batman???? Can anyone tell me so I can add that to my "want but will never be able to afford" list???
