[XM Studios] Phoenix

[Silverine]

Much clearer. Just that starting a sentence with pfffff comes across as dismissive. Thanks for the clarity

Oh haha sorry for that, that was me being depressed because getting this one seems to be hard right now, sad story for my favorite character but i hope things turn well in the end. Stay positive Yo

I feel for you. She is a beauty. So far it seems like collectors who are scoring these pieces are experienced with large collections and deep pockets. Do I have a lock with a coin yes. But I also have orders on ant man and hawkeye. There is a lot of relationship selling happening and these hot items are favored to those who are doing a lot of business. If your coming in with no history and trying to get Magneto or Phoenix good luck

 

[grphyx1]

Good luck with the search

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Yeah unfortunately for me I cant afford plenty of XM pieces. Thats why it sucks that I got to play roulette for some of these xm pieces

Looks like a lot of people just really love the source material and are highly anticipating a dynamic statue bringing that character to life. Makes sense to me.

TBH i dont really care about the coin if i get one with coin great, if i get one without coin great i am lucky i only want the statue haha,
its nice and all but i am sure even if an person really wanted it he can just buy it of a collector who sells it I am sure it will happen so my advice for you collectors dont ruin your chance of getting this statue for the coin.

Yea I get what your saying but relationships is an big part in the business/marketing but i cant help shake the feeling you would lose alot of new customers this way it works both sides i gess.

If the new Guy never gets a chance you know.

The new Guy is only using him because he can't get the statue from the first 10 other choices he tried first.... If you have loyal customers who drop large amounts at your shop then it's common sense to reward their loyalty with exclusives..

 

[creature4000]

I still don't know how to get these things lol. I wish they were a bit easier to PO.

XM makes the old SS PO days seem like a cake walk!

i respect that comment, however that is not always the case sometimes people without connections are just searching for a good shop to buy the rare pieces that are only available there.

And for mine stand a view i have alot more xm statues I want xD like that Great Ms marvel but i agree with you i am not a big spender of 5k haha cant blame for that.

And i never said I was against simply toys way of business so.

 

[nemenforcer]

yeah I would just try to get in with simply toys. Or bite a bullet and get something less interesting from a retailer or broker and start building that relationship. You might miss Phoenix but to be honest some are likely already locking down Ms Marvel. Its a fast moving market and you need to get your name in the hat with someone.

Agreed, tbh if i miss out on Phoenix on preorder day those not mean you can never get her again.
I remember the original ARH Medusa i missed out on her but got her eventually for the normal price just never give up on searching for your personal grail simple as that kinda the thrill of the hunt too am i right?

Definitely, its the hunt that makes this hobby fun and addicting and makes most of us spend way more than we should

Yea I am so in that place right now xD O boy

Pretty sure just like Magneto...it won't help.

Unfortunately this will be HIGHLY sought after and unfortunately there simply won't be enough for everyone to get one. On the flip side that: this is originally what made collecting so fun...the thrill of victory and occasional agony of defeat in missing out. The best to everyone on getting one of these.

I am kind over xm and their $1000 price tag (after shipping). If I get it great if not I won't lose any sleep.

Every statue needs to be a perfect grail to command this kind of retail price. Reality is once you go above the $500 level, the statue market demand shrinks significantly and most times you will lose your shirt buying $1000 statues at retail. Magneto is really the exception than norm. And those are still mass produced at same chinese factory (with better qc) we are not talking anything special like the ed209/Cain puppets or Winston predator.

They need to find a real distributor in USA and get the license sorted out.
