And charge 3300dollars that's disappointing for something not the best!
So what is platinum silicone? Lifespan? Does it feel real?

What's Infinity using then? Walmart grade silicone?

Between 3100-3300 and to end up at 3299 dollars was a fun choice though haha
Thanks for the info

This is sad to hear. I was assuming IS was using the same top grade that Queen has been... and was lined up ready to order. Will have to thing about it now..

So, no rush. I'll wait until 2040 for in hand pictures, and I'll decide.

In the mean time, I'll wait for a 1/2 full statue of a Queen WW and their platinum silicone.

If this is honestly "limited" to 580 pieces. that is a pretty high number for a large collectible that going to cost around $4K when it's all said and done (shipping + a proper enclosure).

The size alone would disqualify it for a huge % of the people that would otherwise be interested. Of those that are left, the price tag is likely going to be a bridge too far for another 90%.

Once you get past those two hurdles (space and disposable income), the twenty years likely won't be a big sticking point.

I think people are forgetting that most states will require (or have required) taxes to be collected by online retailers. Rates like 10% of $3,000 dollars is no small amount.
