Dunno. But I'm in for sure as I appreciate the early Lara having been in on the ground floor for the character back then on PC. Maybe there are enough gamers that remember those days. Hell Lara made me shell out 300 bucks for a 3DFX video card and that was back then! LOL

This looks really cool, I believe the simplistic design is reflective of the actual game art design. I’m sure the newer game renditions will have more details, but the price is a little on the high end. I think $249.99 would have been ideal, I would love to collect the set but I will wait for in hand before committing.

Really really would like to get this but $2k over the next year and a half is a pretty big chunk of my statue budget- and my plate is pretty much overflowing as is with all these company anime lines going up.

I like it, but the price of $280 seems a bit high.

I bought that Temple of Osiris one from an EU retailer for $325 shipped. If I want to pick up this TR1 EX from GH, I have to pay $360 shipped from their "EU warehouse". Doesn't really make sense, at all.

And, is it just me, or does charging the same amount for an unpainted statue seem kind of dishonest? I don't mean to bash GH, most of my statues are from them, but this release really rubs me the wrong way I guess.

If you know how Gaming Heads communicates release dates, you would add +2 years on top of that.

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

Yeah - and then throw in 6 statues to complete a display. This whole line is supposed to celebrate Lara's 20th anniversary. I predict the last statue will celebrate her 30th.

The price does not appear to reflect the basic nature of the statue.
It will be interesting to see how the others work out.

Agreed. I don't think there's anything wrong with the paint and sculpt per say. It's just simple compared to the "complex" price.
