I might have ordered if Gollum was Edition size 150

10-12 month payment plan would have helped them. Personally, I don't like to flex pay anything over 100.00 a month.

Chronicle & HCG has it going on with their 10 pay

Low ES's are more desirable for collectors and create a greater sense of urgency. There is absolutely no sense of urgency with this one based on both the price and the ES.

I think you mean 240 from the first batch, as there's a 0% chance they've sold 350 so far.

ES should not determine price, it is a big deal to some, but unless you are talking a one off or under 10 ES it won't affect value that much. Even if was 50-100 it still wouldn't be worth 1800 IMO. These need to be $1200-1400 tops.

I thought about it but too much money for this piece. Plus he face does not seem as accurate as it should be. Looking forward to next release.

And even those were too high!

That is your opinion

Have you seen one of the releases in person to say that a MoS for 495 Euros is to expensive?

Outside of perhaps Tweeterhead I think you could make a strong argument that every collectible companies prices are too high these days. If Weta pulls off the paint apps on the ToE prototype I doubt you'll see anyone complaining about the price, and as far as I'm concerned MoS is worth every penny. The only one of those that I have an issue with is the War Troll. As others here have said it's probably overpriced by a good $300 or so, and having received one myself that featured numerous issues, I can't disagree with those assessments.

I would pay $1700 for a Tauriel, Legolas, or any of the fellowship heroes, but Gollum who annoys the hell outta me? nope!
