What would be a good price for this statue in its original state? I like it but don't want to over pay.

Even though these are extremely limited, their price seems to have cooled off considerably since they were announced. The last one on eBay went for $300 which is not bad when you consider they sold for $240. There were a few auctions at $350 and $360 that had no takers and an ebay shop right now has one sitting there for $399. I guess these could pick up again after the New Year but, it looks like you should be able to get one for around $300.

That is a great custom paint up. Very complex and I know it's a difficult one to do. The guy did a great job on this!

he emailed me back. cost is 700 and it'll take 3 months. good deal? i bought two when they were first offered at starwarshop.com

Ed,



Hi! Thanks for your interest - It took me approximately 3 months to
complete - understand that not only do I work full time as a graphic
designer, I also do freelance work and other custom commissions in a vast
medium...so plan on 3 months turn around complete with weekly updates and
progress photos of my work. This finished piece would be numbered and become
a unique accent to you collection!!



The total amount which includes supply and hours worked is 700.00 - which is
a fair price considering the limited availability of the actuall sculpt on
the market, and the quality of work I put into the piece. This does not
include shipping cost which the buyer is responsible for. I am willing to
negotiate the price, or allow payments to be made if need be but I feel that
my time and effort and your satisfaction makes it all worth the price
listed. If you or anyone is still interested, please e-mail me ! - I am not
just limited to the maquette of course - I am open to any or all ideas you
wish to bring to the table. Please let me know of any further questions you
may have! Thanks again for you interest!

Could somebody tell me how tall this statue is or how tall the figures are? Or perhaps scale? 1/6? 1/8? Thanks!

That is 1000 times better than the crappy-looking gold version!
