Yeah they go for pretty cheap since Matrix is no longer "cool" in some peoples books ;)
Whatever enjoy it! I also got mine for fairly cheap and it's really cool!

Agreed. That really is a great statue and you got if for a great price. Now you really do need to go out and get Trinity on Bike. Talk about a gorgeous statue.

You should see it in person. The pics don't really do it justice.

Talk about a gorgeous statue.I already have the Trinity on bike statue (since yesterday), and it truly rocks! :buttrock: I saw the neo at the store where I bought the Trinity but it didnt actualy apeal to me. But for $59.99 who could resist, especialy being a matrix fan.

I'd probably have had more interest in the line were it not for Matrix 2 & 3. I may still get these two but that would be it.

I'd probably have had more interest in the line were it not for Matrix 2 & 3. I may still get these two but that would be it.A lot (if not most) people share that opinion but I for one LOVE the 2nd & 3rd, even more than the first. Ok so after the first one it wasnt "new" anymore so the warschawski bros couldnt wow you anymore with the story. But I mean come on, the action! All the martial art fights, the whole highway escape scene + fight on the truck, battle for Zion, final showdown between Neo and Smith, the burly brawl... I mean I could just watch them over and over again! Plus you just gotta love the whole "matrix feel", you know the long coats, the sunglasses, the green code, the theme music.........hmmm, all this talk about it...I think I'm gonna watch it right now! :)

Just my 2 cents...

Right there with you bro..................the brothers delivered............what was established in the first..............was done by the end..............for me the whole trilogy is a masterpiece...................... :buttrock:

Spenk is right, dont think, get her TODAY!
I paid $300 for her and still think she's worth it. Collecting is expensive if you live outside the us :(

I'd only consider the trinity. Only really enjoyed the first movie, allthough I like Keanu here and in some other movies, somehow I wouldnot be keen of having him around as bust or statue :D

In fact I had won trinity earlier but somehow the seller decided not to ship it and to play deaf and mute, at least got my money back through paypal...

No. Neo is one piece. He is connect by a rod to the base. That's three pieces total, however Neo is one solid statue. It does wobble a bit, though.

I thought about getting this one. Focus mostly on the SW Gentle Giant product but also have all the T3 and Matrix busts. I do like the statue....I just have a feeling that later on I might find it for a good deal. Like my SW CLone Wars Grievous maquette....got it for $50 shipped.

Sounds almost like the c3po statue. I would bet that there is a seam somewhere in the legs an they are not glued that well. I had ordered the C3PO statue and returned it 4 times because the legs where never on. Finally I just gave up returning it and glued them on.

the trinity piece is just a massive box.....i jhipped one from jersey to cali and it was 26.00 for parcel post, no insurance so it hurts to ship this piece...also, cost on it was high enough and the initial shipping from diamond was brutal as well.....tough to make money on this one with the ebayers selling em for low prices...

Yeah..$60 for a $150 statue. He has to be taking a loss on every one or got some deal from someone else. I don't even know if you could get that cheap if you were GG direct.

Thats the way it is with 90% of these items now. Not worth it at all. I am stuck with 15 of each vader n yoda gg busts cause ebay sellers are selling em between 20-30 bucks.....not to mention a ton of other stuff.......i just don't get it. someone on the bowen board stated they got a pre sale of the vision statue delivered for 84 bucks. i just got mine from diamond this week and delivered it was 109.....i just don't get it... :confused2
