hhahah, good idea jaws. but the most detailed, interesting, will stand out the most. plus these statue are high end and not affordable by most thus its hard to compare comics to statue collectors.

There has been a BIG flow of new collectors in the last couple of years though.

Anyone know where wait list fulfillment for the EX is? Last person filled date and the date they went on the list?

The Ex will sell and make them money of course. But when you are seeing discounted Regs floating around on ebay, that is when people will not buy direct and will search them out for a discount on the aftermarket. Better to go a little leaner on those ES and come up with different and newer sculpts of the same characters imo. WW DID turn out fantastic thought, I won't take that away from Sideshow.
Give it a year before they announce DC. Give it a year...
SSC has the 1/4 DC license locked up for the next 3 years from what I've heard. So nope.

Lol, leave it to mark to turn the conversation to whining about edition size
Hey I support him on ES! ES is not a bad thing. Just makes things more collectible and easier to rid if we need to for life's many super hardships. I buy to keep, then if my dog dies I must sell a statue to get him medical care and you all know......

Why does he need medical care if he has died?

CBG needs to collect dog statue yo! they don't die and have a low ES. on the plus side, no medical bills, which means more statues!1

Overall, very nice sculpt

When CBG wins, everyone else loses.
CBG, now you know you are my MD homie but I had to look away from the screen and lower my face to keep from laughing out loud when I read this.

Wasn't that the tagline for the first AvP movie?

I see the point you are making. It is nice to know that something we buy at this price might maintain it's original value or go up in price.. It's just weird that we expect our statues to do that... Everything else we buy we know will be worth much less or we will even eventually throw away. I don't but a 2000.00 TV keep it in it's box and hope it goes up in value in a year. I have to wait 15 years for a car to become a classic. (Oh I think my Toyota Van will be there soon) and then it has to be the right make and in good shape.
I don't know... these are luxury items and I am happy to be able to afford them. The fact that they keep their value give or take is a bonus. I say buy what you like but like what you buy. Then you can't go wrong
You make a great point about changing what I collect... I would have to be more picky about my collection if I could not sell an item so I could buy another. But like I said.. For now that is a bonus.
all of those other things your mentioned produce value of one kind or another while you own them, where a statue simply has esthetic value. My tv will provide me with hundreds of thousands of hours of entertainment over its life time. The size and expense of the tv will invariably add to that enjoyment. A car will provide me the opportunity to actually make more money as it gets me to my job I couldn't otherwise have. My statues sit on a shelf, I enjoy looking at them, but if I had to choose between them and my car its a no brainer.

I thought of this too. Be it 1/6 figures or 1/4 statues. Yes there are more people coming in buying these collectibles, but how many are real collectors and how many are buying multiples thinking these could make them rich years from now?
Reminded me of this scene from the documentary "Image Revolution", and in it there's this footage of a young man who camped out in the long line in front of a comic store where Liefeld was about to do the signing for Youngblood #1 and he said he's getting a lot of copies because it would cost a lot someday.

I hope Sideshow does away with ES. 
I just received notice that WW is in the city north of me and out for delivery.
