I thought that was the idea Jerry is proposing.

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

Probably limit them to 5 of each character ?

Sounds interesting. But here is a thought. Why not make those AP and sell those at 2-3 times retail price. Limit them to 5-10 ES.

The fact that AP are presently just a numbered statue picked up from the factory line up disturbs me. If you plan on making them custom painted by Mike and signed from the both of you.....those statues would really be Artist Proof.

Just my 2 cents.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

i think it depends on how much customization we're talking about. i imagine it being like the puma/nike websites where you can pretty much do anything you want to a certain pair of shoes, but with this PCS offer you would pretty much be able to do anything to the statue. i think using the APs to do these customizations is a great idea. maybe have 5-10 APs produced and have 8 of them offered for the customizing deal.
i am a little worried how much this will affect certain lines. as was mentioned before, saturating the market with too many kinds of statues can ruin the line...especially if those re-casters get heavily involved. then you would have all kinds of statues floating around. just something to think about i guess.

Offering too many exclusives can mess up a line. And mess up your sales.

You're already offering PCS Ex, PCS AP, EX, Factory Prototypes, and Reg. that seems like a fair variety.

If you fragment each statue too much, I could see certain collectors throwing their hands in the air and saying "too much, I can't keep up".

Again, a very cool idea. Just be careful

I see your point, but I don't see the harm. Hell Lamborghini for example does it with quarter million dollar cars. Theirs about 15 special edition "Gallardos" that have been released in the last 10 years! Not even including OTHER models from the line.

1)Gallardo SE

2)Gallardo Nera

3)Gallardo Superleggera

4)Gallardo Blancpain Super Trofeo

5)Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni

6)Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera

7)Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante

8)Gallardo LP560-4 Bicolore

9)Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale

10)Gallardo Tricolore

11)Gallardo LP560-4 Gold Limited Edition

12)Gallardo LP560-4 Bianco Rosso

13)Gallardo LP560-4 Noctis

14)Gallardo LP550-2 GZ8 Edizione Limitata

15)Gallardo LP570-4 Edizione Tecnica

Guess what, they still sell. I agree that their is a ceiling to how many special editions can be put out. But as long as Jerry doesn't beat that number of special editions it should be ok lol

This is a cool idea...A way for collectors to possibly get a hold of a 1 of 1 statue and choose how it could end up.... I'm In.
