I don't get it either, my friend. Scream whatever to lay down your judgment upon others. You will look neither cool nor righteous nor any better of a collector. I am into rarities and I'm not ashamed to say it.Preach it brother, I think some people here JUST WANT TO LOOK COOL if they say they don't care about the ES.
They think they are better collectors than others if they don't care about the ES. And believe everybody who hates an open ES is a damn flipper. I just don't get it

I believe the Open ES is what kept the cost at $650 and not pushing $1k. So be it. The more the merrier. This statue is AWESOME, and that's all that matters.
Bro Vracula at SF sum it up nicely about this open ES crap:
There are different types of collectors, but all the best collections in the world are the ones with the rarest items. Its a fact. Limited exclusivety is a major drive to this hobby take that away and u have porcelain beanie babies.

I don't really share that viewpoint at all.
I collect/display what I like/want and ES has never affected my enjoyment of any pieces in my collection. Just different strokes, I guess.

Great point Barb! I recently had to sell my whole xmen collection due to an emergency with my pup, due to the edition sizes and there rarity i was able to get what I paid and more back to help with funds which in turn allowed me to keep other statues i might have had to sell, People are stupid if they dont want to get back what atleast they put to get the statue!

Great piece and one I was thinking of getting. But a big let down with an open ES.

yea, there's something to that. I'd be lying if I didn't say having certain rare items makes me feel more at ease then having a bunch of open ES stuff. Problem is, I already have a couple open ES statues
. There is a advantage to buying these though; you can save so much money getting them on the aftermarket. Besides the Wolf LSF, all my other open ES pieces, I've gotten hundreds cheaper then retail. That adds up.I don't really share that viewpoint at all.
Of course, that's why he begins his sentence with "there are different types of collectors"

If edition size is one of the main driving forces though, and price isn't a consideration, why don't some of you guys get together and commission something truly rare? Like, an edition size of 10, and they cost $2,000 a piece. I'm asking honestly. There are extremely rare 1/6 scale figures released by guys like Rainman that meet the needs of this type of collector. And I know there are guys who do one-off unlicensed statues. Shouldn't be hard to convince them to up the edition size if the price was right.
I have no real strong opinions about the whole edition size issue, though holding things constant, I guess I would rather it be rarer and thus more valuable later if I needed to sell. Doesn't contribute to my own perceived interest or value in something though.
