not right away 1k. but by the fact that guile was executed better than ryu and ryu has been hitting around $900. the flippers are cry foul because they had a home run at the original numbers 350/125. with the added 250 statues, the flippers would still make out good but more like a second base hit.

Hey Min, I used to work for this industry and did marketing for thinks like SE, LE, Collector Editions, ...
If a DVD, Blu-Ray, CD... is called limited, that means nothing It's like the run is limited to for example 500.000 pieces instead of 550.000 pieces just as an incentive for potential buyers Also they are almost never numbered, so IF all 500.000 pieces would sell, they can make even more and the customer never knows about that...
So you cannot compare this.

What if the waitlist raises to 2000 people, will the ES be increased again??

Hope that the first 350/120 will get their extra though…

Regular Cammy was $199, regular Ken was $199, regular Zangief was $319, and the Ryu v. Sagat Dio was $271. That is a lot of money saved when you add those together.

Sideshow prices are high for no reason. I'll easily give up my Charlie dog tags for $50 savings!

One thing that drive me more angry then anything else is paying that much for these pieces when i know that they all come from China.

The worst thing about eBay is the fact that people are selling fakes of the ryu & akuma statues. I think alot of people dont know this. Anytime you see the serial # AP, its almost a guarantee that its a fake. Reason being is that theres no serial number to proove it that it is legit. I know that there are legit AP's, but this is the easiest way for them to sell these fakes. And people pay insane prices for the fakes. And where do they come from, CHINA.So thats whats wrong with china. These people that make these fakes over there have no morals. All they want is to make money off ingorant americans. There the ones who are making most of the money on ebay for these pieces of junk.


Disclaimer: I dont hate the chinese or their country. I hate the chinese factory(s) that make these fakes.

Oh BTY, AP's are not counted in the final production run. Example: Guile's run is now 550/175 (not counting any AP'S that are produced). The final total production could actually be 650/300 or more (including the AP's). Thats 1050+ total. And the sad thing about it is that we will never know haw many are actually produced.

Oh, and you know what's worse? Even the originals came from China? Can you believe that?
