I want out of the hobby altogether. Elite will be the last set of statues I will cancel. They are the best quality for sure.

Sorry man, It's just getting harder for me to justify the prices alone. I wouldn't doubt it as this Guyver wasn't in the Manga, so people prolly don't want to fork over the cash. If I can get it for retail down the road without paying the Ca luxury price, I may reconsider it, but bad timing right now for me. Paying off the CC is first in line.

is the zoanoid maquette really nice? are you going to cancel your guyver maquette too? I have no idea what to buy these days. everything is nice. But space and cash is too limited.
I was buying the guyver bust and the zoanoid guyver bust. I passed on the zoanoid maquette and was not sure if I'd keep the guyver maquette.

You didn't ask me but I'll offer up what I think.
For me I just don't think the license is popular enough. 100 ES worldwide sounds about right.
Looks wise I would probably like this even more than the original Guyver bust had it come out first. That bust is in the top 4 pieces I own.
azurepred so you're in Cali and have to pay sales tax, is that what you mean by Ca luxury price?
I really don't understand how shipping could be almost 1/3 more than the 1st Guyver bust from 2 years ago especially as that was already a lot. As has been said though hopefully there are no imperfections.
Still think this could be one of the sickest pieces in any collection so I guess I'll find out this Friday. Hope I have more energy by then because right now I'd be too tired to open it.

it's nice, but I bet the bust has better presence. I will be keeping the maquette to complete the set. Will be too hard to find one on the aftermarket.

the license is defn not popular enough, but the fan base is there. The in hand pics look really good so far, so I think you'll like it. Yes, I meant that from the sales tax in this state along with ridiculous shipping costs. I just sent a CM Pred across the country for $330. If I didn't have the maquette coming in sometime this year more than likely, I would've kept this for sure. Hopefully, you get a good one.

ya will be hard to come by in the aftermarket, especially for BUST. And this is 1/1 scale, the ultimate size for bust.
As for maquette, there is room for improvement especially the pose, the dull base and non-interchangeable accessories.
