There are still sales being made, but I'm seeing a lot of the same pieces from the same sellers being relisted regularly.

Yup!
That is why in 2022 the plan is to clear all pre_orders, bar one. 2023 is going to feel good without the weight of pre_orders on my mind. It will mean missing out on pieces. It is the way it is.
This is also one reason why i cancelled the recent Sideshow Collectibles Power Girl PF. For the cost i expected better. It is very rare for me to cancel a piece. I guess i have reached a point where i refuse to pay for less than near perfect.
What PCS are charging for Chun-Li in a wedding dress is a.. on the high side, put it that way.

I totally feel you and I'm right there with you. It sucks that you had to cancel the Power Girl PF, but your logic is sound. As long as the pieces are produced, there's always a chance to pick them up down the line.

I would consider paying $200 - $300 for the Sideshow Power Girl, and paying to have the portrait re painted by someone talented.

The new Power Girl PF is absolutely hideous. Everything about it looks flatout horrible. I'd rather have two of these than one of each.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

I liked the prototype.
Sideshow went and posted production pics, and the piece looked less impressive in the portrait department. I cancelled my pre_order.
Today someone posted some in hand photo's and the piece looks ok. I am half tempted to pick it up now

I thought this went up ages ago. I guess not, i guess they were working on tweaks. I am not a fan of the piece, and i think i prefer the look of the original tease.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
