Im curious. What is the focus of your collection going to be. I couldn't imagine selling Superman but that's me.

Keewan is right. It is mostly females. The other reason i am is because of the mix media. Too much of a hassle to clean. The other reason is that also I am not a big Superman fan. Initially I was going for a League set up, but after missing GL and Bats, I dont know just yet. I also only buy within pairs. For example Lady death, Vampirella and Sonja are my non-DC/Marvel pair and so forth. But I can imagine if I open him, I probably will keep him.


I really like XM pieces, but I stick to females because it limits to what I get. I dont get male pieces because they seem the same to me. Every Hulk and Iron Man are the same imo, so thats why I go females only. So I feel Phoenix would stand out and so forth, hence why I would get the females, even Medusa.

Cool. that's understandable and sounds fun. I have never seen a female only collection. Id imagine there will be an art to pulling off the display. I found despite how awesome I thought my display room looked or how cool it was certain characters always came up. Went something like this..."Hey where is (Iron Man, Captain America, Superman, Wolverine)" People will hear out why you have Medusa or Sonja or Ms Marvel or even Phoenix but then human nature is to ask well where is Captain America, have you considered getting a Batman. Annoying but just my experience

Where can I find official product information for this statue? Preorder pages, official pics, price, etc.? Sorry for the newb question but navigating this thread is kind of a pain.

EDIT: Holy crap, just saw that she was sold out at BBTS. Was she really $660 retail?

 

[nemenforcer]

Sure was and add about 200 for all the shipping business associated with a foreign purchase

Oh God, I know. I keep getting asked who scarlet witch is and why I don't have wolverine. Now, don't get me wrong, I'd love to get some of those badasses, but they have to really wow me. Most of XM stuff has but I can't afford all of them. I will say though, if Spidey comes through, I'd invest as much as I can to that. First world collector's problems, right?

But yeah it's a little tough for female only collections. That's why I did the pairs so they don't seem out of sink. I want to avoid after market stuff, so if I got Emma, I'd probably get Jean Grey. Lot of stuff, so I really need to focus it down though.

Crazy right?

I thought BBTS already added that? I figured they just don't include customs and all.

BBTS already included all that, only thing on top of that is ground shipping and local state tax if applicable.

I thought ground shipping was included as well?

nope, only shipping that's included in the price is to get her over here from Singapore... You still have to pay to have it shipped from BBTS warehouse to your front door... I think it was averaging around $38, less if you live close to their warehouse....

Yeah I should have been more exact on words. I meant that.

I had her previously and it came up to like 681 with the shipping to get delivered.

So who is selling preorders still? Even if its some ebayer at an inflated price what's the new going rate?

One ebayer I think has it for 950 free shipping. But he is a flipper, he has a wolverine for 3.5 grand.

I think Simply Toys might still have some, roughly same pricing I'd imagine, a bit more than BBTS.

I just checked ST this morning and she's sold out.

$950 w/ free shipping is not bad of a price if you ask me. $3,500.. Now that's a rip off!

Yes last week they sold their last one in one of their shops. I had ordered her but just too late...

 

[SurlyJ]

I think secret compass or spec fiction still has Widow

Thanks guys, just placed an order through Speculative Fiction for $769.99 + shipping. Holy crap. I've got to sit back and let that sink in a minute.

If I don't and it somehow drops in price I'm going to personally hunt down and murder all you guys.

And she ships next month? Damn...........

Let me see it in person before that happens

I have one on pre-order with BBTS, but considering they will be the last ones and probably a couple months behind i may order from someone else just to get it sooner.
