4000 ES regular
1000 EX
5000 total on average for top tier characters for SS

XM 999 is max on any piece and most are well below this . Makes a huge diff in collectability . Pay little more now recoup most later and some

Well both pieces sucked bad and were their early days . No comparing what they do now to those days .

Except I don't plan on selling, so there is no "recouping"

Funny how they can have such a low, collectible ES...when they have a tiny, regional license (that they pay peanuts for in comparison). Your paying more to enable that fraud to continue.

Tbolt not sure who you are or what fraud you’re talking about and actually don’t care . They make awesome stuff . Earlier days sucked no characters I liked anyways.

Cant compare some of the statues that have come from that camp in last few years to SS. I do still buy some sideshow just not many .

Well one day I do so ..... I’m not collecting forever. I wanted something now I can enjoy with few comics and art so nothing is forever in this hobby I def won’t be moving hundreds of boxes and display units in my 60s.

Heard that.

I think I got about a year left and all the iconic characters that made this little guy a man will be complete.

Maybe can focus on buying a boat or a coupe sea-doos

Do you need it spelled out for you man? Paying peanuts for a minor regional license and using the grey market to sell worldwide. Your paying more and propping up their BS practices. Congrats on screwing over a US based company who paid for legitimate licenses in the process, then coming here to brag about how much better and more collectible they are.
