Iron Man Unique Comiquette Pool

[Tetragrammaton]

So what do you think will be the final auction price on this one?

[High Lord Apocalypse]

$7500.00

[Nightcrawler777]

I went with 8,500.00

[Gianco]

+$10.000

[cougartrace]

I went with 8500 based only from a gut feeling

[cap70]

8k

[darthmatrix]

above $ 11,000.00....:(

[El Diablo]

I went with $8.5k. But the only thing I fear with these auctions is that they`ll attract alot of attention from fake bidders who are going to bid ridiculous amounts, or at least artificially push the price up.

[zatoichi]

15,000

[Colossus]

I think 13-14k will be the end price.

[Collection King 13]

A lot more than my Spidey Bronze...

[High Lord Apocalypse]

damn, i'd rather put a down payment on an expensive car or just buy a cheaper car outright.

[risingstar]

This isn't a bronze statue, folks... It's not exactly a classic pose either. Moreover, there are other editons of this piece available as well so it's not a true one of a kind. Even under the most ideal of conditions, I'd still be surprised to see this go over 6k and that's already an insane price.


JMO


P.S. Then again, I've seen people willing to pay 1k for the chrome surfer bust so what do I know... lol

P.P.S. For 10k, I could get several amazing class Kirby pages. I'd totally prefer that.

[darthrobbler]

One of a kind. I say over 10k.

[bruceb]

...7,000...

[Tetragrammaton]

I think the fact that this is a 2 of a kind, with the other one in the possession of Robert Downey Jr, is pushing the price up.

[Trilogy]

$8,500

[k-9]

its past 6000 now...:redface:

[risingstar]

You're right, hence their motive behind mentioning it.
However, at the end of the day, this is a variant and not a true one (or two) of a kind.
The hubbub would be far crazier if no other edition of this piece existed.

[Tetragrammaton]

The most exciting part for me is where they felt the need to specify "The Iron Man Comiquette will never be offered for sale with the red/gold color scheme and working lights...".

Now, I may be reading too much into this but doesn't this suggest that other Iron Man statues with different color schemes and lighting are planned for the future?

BTW its at $6100.

[risingstar]

BTW its at $6100.



:D

[geto10]

Voted for $9000, but I think it might fetch up to $15000.

[woodsy]

I thought it would hit around $11,000 in the days leading up to the auction and if anything that figure might be a bit low.

[JSA]

I'll say it'll end up over 11k.

JS

[Viking28]

I did 10Gs, dang if I had the millions! would of been cool if they base also would of lite up the cracks.

[risingstar]

Yikes!

[toe]

i'm guessing 12 G's

:buttrock: For Diane and kids :buttrock:

[Ink]

I voted for $9,000

[bomen]

People are so dumb. Going at it the wrong way.

Me? I'm going to send cheap booze, some crack, and (2) hookers over to Downey's pad. Then sneak in 8 hours later and steal the other one.

Cost? What...like $400-500....tops.

My plan now. Don't steal it.

that might do it...:laugh:

[titan7170]

I said it yesterday in the other thread $12,000

[Daxion]

I hope my first guess $10k holds up so it will belong to one of our forum members and we can get some highly detailed pictures:)....instead of a non-participating collector keeping it all to himself.

Absolutely this is Downey we are talking about here

[geto10]

$7000 already.. Damn! :)

[sheople]

$11k

[IronFingaz]

About $10-$12000 is my guess.

[[SS]Hellboy]

Guys if you really want the pice just go to Rob's house with a bottle of jack and few grams of coke he'd give it you

[JadeGiant]

There may be small imperfections, but that is part of the charm of owning this unique collectible. :laugh:


LMAO ...


not for me at this price ... buy the new stealth and paint it back to red gold and viola - you have one and can save several grand

i know i already have that planned. question is how many of the stealth are gonna be available?

[Tetragrammaton]

Honestly, if I was the high bidder and saw the Stealth announcement, I'd be a little miffed.

miffed! thats a funny word but i'd probably remove my bid were it not for a good cause.

[Ink]

the price will hit the brakes right....about......now lol

[Hellboy]

I guessed 8k but who knows. All bets are off now with the Stealth announcement.

[woodsy]

the price will hit the brakes right....about......now lol


No kidding! Can't figure out why SS wouldn't have waited until the auction was over before making this announcement.
Tough decision though...do you pay 10-12G's for a red/gold IM or do you buy the stealth and paint it red/gold for under $500....hmmmmm

[Tetragrammaton]

Well the auction has staled out at $7,700 since the about the start of SDCC.

Now is this because those who would be bidding on this piece are busy with the convention or the announcement of the Stealth has taken the steam out of the desire for the unique comiquette?

I thought it would have been really good of Sideshow to include a low numbered Stealth along with the Comiquette for the winner. In fact, I asked them about if this was a possibility.

This was their response.

We don't currently plan to include any items beyond what is
listed in the eBay auction details.

Understandable, but IMO a mistake. I really believe that including a Stealth would generate renewed interest in this auction. For the price of a Stealth, I'm sure the auction would bring in an extra $1K.

[risingstar]

Tet, I'm sure if could amass all the brain power you devote to all things Iron Man, especially towards those things you alone seem to be interested in knowing about, you could launch a rocket into space with a mere thought.

:D

[Tetragrammaton]

thanks?

[geto10]

$7800 now :)

Yeah the stealth version did take the heat off. I mean it finally has the light version, only other color. So why pay like $8000 more :laugh:

[darthmatrix]

still think this is gonna break $10,000.00

[geto10]

$8100 already. With the stealth version coming out I think this is madness :laugh:

[Ink]

yup

[titan7170]

And I quote myself

read this

This auction is for a real treasure, one of only two ever made, a prototype of the Iron Man Comiquette featuring working lights built into the armor. Excited about the upcoming Iron Man movie, the development team at Sideshow returned to the previously released Iron Man Comiquette to develop a new edition of the statue, with working lights and a new paint scheme. The working lights were developed before the new paint was ready, and two pieces were produced with the traditional red/gold armor. One of the light-up statues was given to Robert Downey Jr. to celebrate the first day of filming on Iron Man, and the other was reserved for this auction. The Iron Man Comiquette will never be offered for sale with the red/gold color scheme and working lights - this is your opportunity to own a true holy grail.

This means there must be a new edition of this statue with working lights and a new paint scheme going to be released.

they only did these because the new paint wasnt ready.......whatever that means

It also means that whomever wins this auction will pay a ****load of money only to (maybe)find out in the end that the only difference between theirs and the newly released one would be the paint.



Yes thank you ......thank you......there you have it

[taizo99]

i realy liked this but wouldnt pay that much after seeing stealth version .anyone know the price of stealth version or the run it will have

[Hellboy]

I believe the price was confirmed at $299. The ES is still TBA as far as I know.

[Tetragrammaton]

Less than four hours to go and currently at $8,600.

(I told them they should include a stealth!)

[geto10]

With Stealth coming out this won't go for as much as it would've! :)

[bruiser72]

Well its sold for 18,100. Way more than I thought, I mean holy shat! that is a lot of quid. Hope they enjoy it and sideshow does not get shafted on payment.

[kingdomhearts]

I rather buy myself a car with 18 grand.

[Daxion]

Aprox. ~39k raised in these auctions. That's pretty good IMO.

39k is good enough for 1 year college tuition

Not bad! :laugh:

[swim]

WOW awesome for the family! Who would have guessed that much. That's alot of donuts..

[Tetragrammaton]

It's nice that in addition to the items being auctioned, Sideshow is matching the total collected.

[bomen]

I hope they actually get paid.

wow...talk about disposible income...

You must have inexpensive tastes in cars.

[Zer0]

At the beginning of the auction, I estimated that it would end at $10,000... and it was on track to, up until the last 30 minutes, or so.

My hypothesis is that either bidder 26 and 22 were just having their jerkass moment of anonymous internet fun (in which case, the statue'll default to the last legitimate bid, or be re-auctioned), or someone extremely wealthy got wind of the auction at the last minute and decided to opt into the action.

Maybe Robert Downey Jr. really, really didn't like the idea of someone else having the duplicate statue? :tounge:

In any case, I have to admit, I'm a little curious as to who dropped what is likely twice as much as the statue was likely worth on that auction.

Any way you look at it though, it was an excellent development for the fundraiser's bottom line.

You must have inexpensive tastes in cars. Or... really good taste in motorcycles?

[Tetragrammaton]

The winner of the auction is known to a member of the forum. Hopefully, we get some good pics out of it.

[Daxion]

Not bad! :laugh:

I think the kids are some years away from college, so maybe they can start a trust for them or something and it will grow to 60-70k...and pay for a couple years.

[Zer0]

The winner of the auction is known to a member of the forum. Hopefully, we get some good pics out of it. I wouldn't mind seeing it in better lighting, as well as up close.

I've got one of the SS exclusive versions of the "regular" comiquette, so I suspect it won't be very much different from that, but I'm a bit curious as to how the light up parts look when unlit.

[Vracula]

my car is worth 1000$. :-(

[patrickwm68]

Wow, $18,100.00.

he probably already tossed it in a closet, or gave it away to a nephew :D

[cap70]

Wow, 18K! I was out by 10k only, not bad! :laugh:

Good for Diane! :thumbs2: :thumbs2:

[Statuesque Fellow]

I'm surprised none of you bid on it. Some of you must have $19000 available amongst your various credit cards available limits :confused:

[Ridimous]

I wonder if SS has another statue with only 2 existing in the world?!!

[Hellboy]

I wonder if SS has another statue with only 2 existing in the world?!!

Robert Downey Jr owns the 2nd.

[kingdomhearts]

Actually, I am the second highest bidder :thumbs2:

SS did an excellent job for Diane

[Ridimous]

Robert Downey Jr owns the 2nd.

No I mean another different statue with only 2 made in the world. Like Doom PF with light up version or something.
