They all all decent deals especially shipped in most regards. The only PF's I'd be iffy about is the PF Wolfman & Phantom (if it's color then it's worth it). I've seen that same PF Freddy at my comic book shop on display for the same price and the Jason was $175.

As for the others, any of the Star Wars statues are fantastic. The Boba is a little high and alot of diehard PF collectors were miffed that the heavy polystone (that is a major characteristic of PF's) turned out to be ABS plastic. I've seen the Boba on display, while I don't think it's worth the $300, it's a pretty damn good looking statue. In my opinion, I'd pass on that one to see if the price will drop.

The Lurtz, Darth, Obi, & Grievious statues are some of the best PF's that Sideshow has ever released and are well worth the $300 shipped. You might be able to find the Obi cheaper if you scour the net looking for a deal. I think the cheapest I saw the Obi selling for (not including the bay) was $230. Grievious is massive and can be a pain to assemble/disassemble. My comic book shop actually broke one of the arms trying to put the piece back in the box.

Can't go wrong with Lurtz or Vader for that price IMO, especially shipped.

Boba is a great piece, and while I personally think he is worth $300 you could probably find him cheaper at some point down the road.

Grievous is sweet but IMO the cape makes this piece so if it were me I'd hold out for the Exclusive on that one.

As far as the horror PF's go the price seems good but you might be able to find a few of them cheaper with a little patience.

Overall the prices seem average and fair. Nothing jumps out as an amazing deal though. Just my 2 cents.

There's nothing wrong with Boba.........if you put him in the $150 section

I'm just not into the horror pf's.

Either way Lurtz is one of the finest pieces released and is a must have, especialy for that price

well....just saw LURTZ PF exclusive...has options hands/weapons..get the exclusive version? i think sword looks good already..

And PF Vader/boba EX is out of questiones....its kinda lame...i dont care minibot or piece art brick.

The PF GENERAL GRIEVOUS exclusive has a really nice Red cloak....i think he looks better with cape.
