Premium Format The Incredible Hulk The Avengers

[isculpt]

Wow and Shai thought that it would take 1000.00 plus to scare people off. I took just a little more then half that price to send people running.

I think it's a steal because I was ready for worse. I also think it's a steal because it's a true 1/4 scale Hulk and the best Hulk statue that is out there IMO. I have been selling stuff to get ready for the SDCC. I knew it was going to be a hard hitter with Batman PF, the droids PF, Hulk maquette, and the Joker that will be on the way. So I sold stuff. Made money as well as room and now I am all set for this Hulk!!!

A steal would have been 500, but 650 was a blatant mark up, which leaves me sour grapes. The funny thing is Skaar probably takes more resin, more paint detail, better accessory, and is probably heavier than this. Ugh...

Its not the money I have a problem with. If there are doing open edition to all there maquettes, this is no longer a collectible thing. I don't really want to buy something & in a few years if I decide to sell it (for whatever reason), lose money on it.

SSC could had made an exclusive & kept the regular as an open edition. It's just not good business sense to do open ES because I can not imagine they will get many orders. People will be hesitant to buy now.

DCD has gone to not numbering there statues and now has a "limited" tag on every statue they produce. Without a number edition, it could hurt this business. Look at the comicbook industry back in the early 2000s. Companies such as Image started to make variant covers & endless reprints. It saturated the market & eventually people stop buying. DCD will falter beyond believe by taking this same route and SSC may soon follow.

I don't mind to pay a little bit more money for this if they can make the ES lower than 500. But I know that won't happen.

For $650, I think they should make the ES of 1000 or 1500 max.

If they make it open ES, $650 is TOO MUCH FOR COLLECTORS IMO.

The Hulk Maquette will be priced at $649.99 and will have payment plans available. Make sure you log into your newsletter account on July 26th, 2012 to secure this piece for your collection.

Yes I know, I have posted many times here on how it hurts the hobby. I am extremely anti-open.

Yeah.. I mean Rhino is only 399.00.. this can't be much bigger?

 

[yeek]

I really wish there was an exclusive of some sort...something like purple pants would have been awesome and made my day...

 

[divo]

Its up $649.99. ouch

Whoa. That's pricey.

If they really put up $599 before and now $649 then that's MESSED UP!

Yes, and is a result of so many people saying they would pay more.

Pretty much... what a bunch of twonks!

far from a steal, especially if it has no EX. and an open ES

No I'm not paying 650. Maybe if I could find him at another source for cheaper but I won't support this blatant mark up.

All the other Avengers PF and Maquettes are limited to 1000 or 1500. If this has an open ES at $650 then Sideshow should seriously ____ off!

Skaar at $379 with way more detail and extra weapon accessories is a steal imo.

Clearly the twonks in this thread had an impact on the price. This should be the same price as the Destroyer, not a penny more. Destroyer even has a light up feature. Congratulations dudes... you really ____ed this one up!

And so the sad song begins. Some over excitable turds really screwed-up, & worse, will continue to do so! Sideshow completes the perfect brainwash, when most are squealing with glee for a $650.00 price tag!!!??? Some of you fools are a marketing team's ultimate dream. But sadly this nightmare has just begun, as pricing will continue to be way out of whack. Congrats to all you silly, squealing, little clowns!

 

[Gates70]

But nowhere has it said it was an open ES yet

 

[VS1976]

Your paying for the name "Legacy" which is attached to this statue. It's probably add an extra $100 to the original price.

 

[Kibishii]

I don't mind the price at all; it's the damn open edition size that I refuse to support.

 

[VS1976]

It will not just hurt the hobby but the company that produces it. SSC must rethink there business model if they think this will help grow there business.

 

[Mamba]

True, but we all have that feeling

What is a Sideshow statue with no EX that has a closed edition other than bust? Anyone can name one? Why I could not think of anything.

So the sky is falling on a feeling

The only other statue will an open ES is the Storm Trooper PF. Who knows how many they will ever sell. I for one will not buy it.

I know it is tough hearing the truth. I forgive you.

Would SS please show the production peek of a true hulk statue? (Either World War Hulk or Planet Hulk)

Enough already with the avengers movie PF's. The fade will run its course in do time.
