Statues are too expensive to be spending money on prints. I need to concentrate only on statues.

Exactly. Besides, in the old days, the prints came with the statue. Now, SSC asks you to buy them.

There were a few, but the majority of the old prints were the EX and did not include anything besides the print.

Examples:

All of the Adam Hughes comiquettes
Spidey/Carnage/Venom comiquettes
Jessica Rabbit PF
Mark Brooks comiquettes

The only ones I can think of that came with a free print were the Rogue and Gambit PFs.

Storm PF and comiquette, Cyclops PF, Angel Comiquette, Beast comiquette, Nightcrawler Comiquette, Colossus PF, Psylocke comiquette and some others.

I totally agree with this argument, "in the old days, the prints came with the statue. Now, SSC asks you to buy them".

Weren't the prints the EX though? Personally I'd much rather have an extra part for an EX than a print.

Edit: I should have read Northern's post first

Ah I didn't remember those. I have EX Storm and a regular Colossus PF, but never got any of the others.

So, I guess it used to be more a 50/50 in terms of the print being a true extra vs it being the EX.

The one thing that is certain, is that the free prints that came in the statues (either as the EX or just an extra) are no where near the quality of the prints they are selling today. They were much smaller and on a much cheaper quality paper (more like card stock or poster board).

Skaar came with a print as well and an ax. It was a great EX. Punisher COM included a print too. There are probably more but the 2 I mentioned were the only ones that jumped out in my mind. IIRC, the Surfer and DD COM included prints. So, it was more of a common practice in the past. Nowadays, SSC is making sure we pay to play if we want a print.

I don't want to start an XM vs SSC flame war but I do love how XM gives collectors switch out parts and a print with every statue. With what SSC is charging nowadays for a PF, I don't think it's too much to ask SSC to include a print with a statue instead of charging us separately for one.
