This could go with Rambo

It would be better to make another post with suggestions of only statues 1/3 of movies.

So hoping you can shed some light on the 'growing cold' thing.
Where did I say growing cold? Just frustrated with the wait is all. When you've been looking at the proto pics for 2 years the excitement wears off.

Here is my personal opinion. Even though these statues are very expensive, a lot of people (me included in the past) buy some of this stuff on impulse and "wow" factory upon initial seeing it. After the long waits interests change and the "wow" factors wears off. People have very short attention spans, especially with everything that is coming out we see the next "shiny" things that catch our attention. If we get the product faster this doesn't happen. Just my two cents anyway.

im hanging on as well and although it is taking a long time, it will be amazing, , huge fan of the character, i guess if i have to say Imo why i don't like too long of a time frame is because I'm not 30 years old LOL and may croak before i get it . lol

I agree with Big Hulk.

I posted my opinion in the Dredd thread after I saw the shipping date was updated to Q1-2018 on the website.

The extended wait times inject a feeling of dissatisfaction not with the pieces itself but the experience of acquiring the piece that unfortunately is now associated with the piece.

Good post. Thanks. Its hard for me to get my head around someone paying $1000 for an impulse purchase, but i guess it happens.

I only spend $500 or more on stuff i plan on keeping forever (well except cars)
