It’s crazy that happens , these are average pieces . Only X collectors drive prices up on themselves . There are a lot of you guys and gals out there .

Man that's crazy. I jumped on the wait list. Good thing I don't need the EX but if I convert I'll go for it.

Not sure if it makes much of a difference but i pre-ordered the EX on the first day of release and when i got mine it was 780 or 781 out of 1000. So the way i see it off the bat a lot of orders were placed and shipped out. Not surprised it wait listed so fast.

Number are random...doesn’t make 1 difference when the order was placed to get specific number.

I just think once people saw in hand pictures and saw how great her portrait came out everyone jumped on it... Given the last one kind of sucked It doesn't surprise me this one is moving fast...

Again Subby, not every sculpt has to be over the top to be valid. This Jean sculpt has beautiful lines/pose, with stunning portraits. To label it as average work is at best a little shortsighted, and at it's worst insulting, especially when this version makes the old look like outdated, deadhead dolls. I hate all pricing practices across all companies, but I really dig where SS is going with their art direction. Great detailed sculpts, beautiful anatomy, with subtly sophisticated gestures and movement, outstanding portraits, with smaller base footprints, and pricing(though sh!tty!) is not that bad compared.

When I first saw this version Jean come out I seriously considered it for a purchase. The regular portrait is great.

The exclusive wasn't my cup of tea, but there are people out there that like that too.

I like her, and I wanted her. I just can't pay over $600 very often anymore. She looks very pretty though, congrats to those that got her.

I was close to hitting the buy button a few times, but the price held me back and i really dont like the exclusove pieces. A regular would be fine and i doubt those will sell out fast. I also have a feeling pieces wont jump up on the secondary market like they used to. If people are having a hard time justifying the retail price, I just cant see them inflating later. They might while the piece is hyped, but like most pieces, they will fall in price. I am patient.

I had her ordered and canceled and now I regret it.
