I didn't know you strictly meant the EX. The only people dreaming are the collectors who -Wanted- the EX and didn't get it in time. To a lot of us this is not an EX or fail by any means.
We will need that rest, he's gonna be a heavy and bulky SoB

No they wont sell out, at least not all at once. Theyre definitely going to sell out in batches though. 500 batches per unit, then off to wait list for the next 500 units being made, and so on.

Its gonna be a slow release. While people drool over in hand pics, people will order. This I can confidently say in certainty. And you can quote me on it. This strategy's already being used with other statues. And it works.

Granted, i do think dark humor makes a good point concerning the regs. I think it’d be a better bet PO’ing rather than aftermarket given how bane turned out, i’ve yet to see a reg at retail let alone below. Fortunately SS’s releasing more.

The people waiting probably know where to buy.
Bane is reasonable. A great piece for 699. Now it's sitting a bit. It will be available to get under 700 in the future. A few of the exs already sold for under $900. Again knowing where to look it much different.
I want the ex but if I can't get it I will pay under retail for the regular. There is just too many for it to hold value that high. If it was priced $800-$900 then it may have a valid reason to hold but $1200? It's just too high for 3500 es. And people are always looking for quick sales. The buyer has to be patient and not jump at the first low price he sees. And especially if it's on eBay. That's a definite no.

Though I'm probably upgrading this year to another Edsal that's 60" wide per shelf. I like to be able to fit more statues together.
Yes I use the same shelves as you mentioned but already the large size at 60” now. They fit about as most we can get right now with 3 levels than can be moved around. I see ss uses the same 18x36 in some videos. They work great but can’t trust one wooden board on each of the shelves. It’s way too cheap wood and it will bend. I added 2 boards for each. Even with this the really heavy statues must be limited. The risk of the weight must be spread out for safety. Then after 2 years of display I noticed the statues I pulled to the front started to slightly lean the shelves forward starting to bend. It’s scared the hell out of me and those thin metal foundation bars won’t hold over time the heavy statues. I upgraded to the new much thicker metal support shelves with custom super heavy duty wood and metal on the bottom shelves. These are more like the Home Depot shelving they use in Home Depot to put the things they sell on the floor. It’s the strongest I can find anywhere non commercial. Go with this and save yourselves the headaches later on down the road. It’s much safer and give you a sense of security for the most part. They sell it at Lowe’s. It’s so much better than the Home Depot thinner cheaper version. The Home Depot version is about 80.00 each. This Lowe’s version not on sale is 190.00 or so each. You won’t regret it.

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

He is going to sit on top of my bookshelf with Galactus.

Shipping is going to kill me. Shipping to Canada = international shipping but on top of that we have these new crazy customs charges which are based on a % of the value. It's going to be awful.
