Wait isn't Prime 1 even more? I have their Gen 1 Megatron on pre order and I'm having second thoughts on that.

I think it's safe to say SSC surprised most of us (in a good way) when they put this up for PO at $650. I have zero issues with the 6500 overall ES on this. If having an ES of 1000 for the EX and 2500 for the REG would have put the price tag at around $900 to $1000...I'll take 6500 @ $650 a pop any day of the week.
My only possible gripe with this piece would be shoddy QC. If the QC is good on this, I'll be a happy camper.

Edition size only effects potential value and how easy or hard it might be to sell something. There are people out there that collect bottle caps and there are literally billions of bottle caps out there. That doesn't make bottle caps have a lesser collectability factor than any other collectable in the world.
The definition of collectable/collectability is "Capable of being collected or worthy of being collected" and pretty much everthing the world over is capable of being collected and wether or not somethng is worthy of being collected is purely subjective.

Collectors collect for numerous reasons. Some people do collect only rare items. Your POV is too narrow and restrictive.

I took an IQ test and the results were negative.

No need at all to buy the regular from SS. Wait until it is released and you will be able to save 30% to 40%. This is a great statue, but other companies are making great statues as well. I am really considering focusing on Prime 1 and forgoing SS pieces.

Me too. I am also trying to get relatives from Asian to help ship XM pieces over.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I just hope there aren't issues with this piece. Quality control is huge for this size of an ES imo.

Not to mention they pushed it up several months and if they are to hit their new release date it will have to be put on the boats before Chinese New Year in February which suggests it will be rushed.
Very worred about the QC on this one.

more than likely yes, considering the release has been bumped up significantly
to add, a few people are not able to agree to sideshows updated flex pay since it's only 4 payments now
