They had to have accidentally added an extra zero. There's no other explanation.

And?
Even still at $120?? For trading cards?

Don't care what they are worth to anyone personally, 12 packs of 8 cards absolutely aren't worth even half that.

Feels like being a fool for ever collecting any of this crap.

Maybe I missed a comment about this, but has anyone else noticed that the product page is now referring to this as "Martian Princess" PF and there's no longer any reference to Dejah Thoris?

Trading cards go for a lot if you keep them mint and best sealed, I did fund my car with the sale of Magic the Gathering cards. The older cards are worth a fortune.

Just an example of: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Unlimited-BL....c100677.m4598
This one is "just" graded 7 and "only" an unlimited Black Lotus. If that was an Alpha or Beta you could add a zero.

I bet these will sell fast and if you keep them in store you will get a lot more for them in some years.

That’s interesting. I’ve been watching YouTube videos from Comics Matter w/ ya boi Zack and he was talking about making John Carter comics since the first few books are in the public domain. But it’s more complicated than that as character names, places, etc. are registered trademarks. So Sideshow most likely did this statue with intent of doing it license free. But the “Dejah Thoris” trademark owner probably contacted Sideshow asking for money. With the rename they can keep it license free.

The website doesn’t list her as an exclusive but as far as I know, no retailers have it up for preorder. And unlike other products, the order limit is 2 instead of 1.

I notice the name change but didn’t think too much of it. Name change doesn’t as nice as Dejah Thoris. Surprise they didn’t cancel the statue lol
