Yes it's over priced.

now let's talk about the statue
I’ve tried but everyone is fixated on the price. They all need to vent like they did with Thanos, Bane, Deadpool, Red Sonja and now Magneto. I’m just going to let nature take its course 😁

I hear you. I get tired about all the b----ing & complaining! If you don't like the price then don't buy it. I myself really like this piece and am looking to buy it. I love the EX head sculpt.

The TBD ES is a gift to anyone on the fence. Now we can hang out to see if any other Mags pop up on the market.

The fabric cape made this a pass for me.

Not that I would ever get this. But for CA residents who pay sales tax this is a $870 statue. Yikes.

They confirmed that the EX ES is going to be TBD? If so, I will definitely wait. I will probably opt for the Prime 1 Flash and then see what else they come out with.

I have no problem with the pricing. Rather that is to say, I believe SS can charge whatever the hell they want for whatever statue they make. I believe in capitalism and the market will decide if they are making the right choice or not. But I don't agree with an arbitrary definition of the maquette title explaining why they cost more. When we will never know if it's true or not.

This Magneto looks dope. If it's a maquette cool! But that means more work went into it than all other PFs?

So, back to the price...those of you who say they see the value or understand the price increase of Mags, please explain to me how this piece is almost $200 more than Wolverine. Because I certainly don't see what makes this statue almost $200 more than Wolverine. I'll even go so far as to say that the Wolverine PF smokes this Mags MAQ. Hell, it's far superior to Mags IMO. Even the base on Wolverine looks better.

How am I crazy to think that? Deadpool has a little oval explosion. It’s not exactly ground breaking. XMs bases, now those are impressive. Maybe that’s why I’m not blown away by Deadpool’s base. Magnetos base if you watch sideshow live video on YouTube from today, you will see how large it is. It goes around his body.
