Let’s do the math on this piece, 6 X-men characters that are 1/6 scale where most of their 1/6 dc statues go for $375 with prestige membership so that’s $2250 so basically they are saying the sentinel cost $1750 at 1/6 scale to make it $4000. That’s ridiculous. This diorama should be $3000

Don't forget to add another $800+ for shipping cost. Yup, this statue is waaaay overpriced.

How is it ridiculous?Look at that Sentinel. It took a ton of work in design and development hours to develop. Not to mention logistics of shipping and show (at cons) exc. I feel its a fair price. ( shipping is a huge bummer , I'm guessing 1200.00)

So true!
Even the original set of characters they had at first would've been better. And I was so excited for this diorama when it was first introduced. I really wanted this piece.
Unfortunately, they had to change the characters. And too much time went by. For me, the need to get this is dead and gone. I'll just wait for in-hand pics to look at.

It´s not a second PreOrder.

come on grumpy, you act like we're new to the XM game. the "official PO on XM page" is as relevant as the "sold out on XM webpage"

It's amazing to me that it is even worth it for them to create pieces at this price.

You comment like you are new, but for the new ones i can repeat the "sold out on XM webpage", hehe.
Sold out on XM webpage means "sold out on XM webpage". If a statue has an ES the allocation are splitted into three parts. Events, XM webpage and distributors. If a statue is sold out on XM webpage it means nothing more as the statue is "sold out on XM webpage".

XM Studios News
"TARGETS IDENTIFIED. MUTANTS. SURRENDER OR DIE."
"An engineering feat that took the XM team over 2 years and a collaborative strike-force team of over 15 Artists and professionals, XM proudly presents the first of our Epic Diorama Series - the X-Men VS Sentinel! The battle scene pits 6 heroic X-Men characters; Beast, Archangel, Psylocke, Jubilee, Bishop and Colossus against a fearsome Sentinel robot and Nimrod. Crafted in Cold Cast Porcelain, the sheer size, details and immense presence this piece has will make it undoubtedly THE centerpiece showcase for any X-Men statue collector. While only 1:6 scale, this MASSIVE cold-cast porcelain diorama is anything but small! Not for the faint-hearted and only for the ultimate collector with space and unrivalled passion for the X-Men, this is the display centerpiece designed to stun any viewer into a state of disbelief and wonder. When shown at conventions, collectors spend the most time gawking at this diorama and revelling in all the incredible details and dynamism - it's almost as if you are right there watching the battle yourself! Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the highest possible quality finish. Sculpted by an All-Star team comprising of Suheryanto Hatmaja, Kris Lee, Romell Chopraa, George Georgy and Marthin Agusta, engineered to perfection by the XM development team, this piece is a testament to XM's madness in pushing beyond boundaries. Be warned - you will need a large display area for this beast!
X-Men, realizing mutants were the next step in human evolution, Professor Charles Xavier gathered gifted teenagers to be his first class of students. His goal to protect and educate the next generation of homo superior, while pursuing a dream of harmony. Sentinel, the Sentinel robots were created by noted anthropologist Doctor Bolivar Trask, who intended to use them to save humanity from mutants."

Jubilee looks just as useless on this piece as she was in the comics (at least in the earlier years).
