I am pretty sure the PO for this was in september, so it hasn't really been on sale that long considering the number they made.

Been going back and forth on this one as I have the wolvey vs sabretooth dio and they are similar in pose, might try and jump on WL and see what happens, let fate decide

I think I might try the waitlist too and see what happens. I have been on the fence with all the issues being reported.

I don't know. That HULK vs Surfer dio had a pretty bloated ES back in the day.

All were certainly smaller (better?) than the ES on this MAQ.

Of course ES were much smaller 10 years ago. Collecting statues used to be a very niche hobby, and these characters weren't near as popular as they are now.

There's thousands of "statue collectors" in facebook groups, and the movies have made these characters very popular. The market has exploded.

Added: I've also noticed that the bubble on statues being "valuable collectibles" is bursting. Aside from Thanos, you can get almost any statue for under retail post release. There's much larger ESes, and many many new options for would be collectors. I've had to sell a couple pieces under retail trying to move them.

Boy do I remember when I started collecting
paid $220.00 for Darth Maul Pf, $800.00
for Speeder Bike Pf. Edition sizes less than
1000 and you got a great pieces for the money, like
Sideshow Hoth diorama. Gentle Giant statues were around $100.00, now the are almost $300.00. If Sideshow made Speederbike Pf today would be
$1,500 amd they would make thousands.

Huge edition size on this piece, but awesome.

was also a time when the forums were all that existed, look around...hundreds of groups on facebook now, more people collecting then ever.....'= higher prices, higher ES...etc etc
