FYI, Rogue starting to pop up at lower prices. Enjoy searching. Must be the post X'mas doldrums. Buyers are drying up, hence, supply rising. I landed one for 179USD today.

Sweet. Where did you get it? I may pick up a second Rogue to customize.

Offer in ebay.
It is dropping in prices already. I see some on ebay for about $210 shipped. The resellers are starting to get their fill. The x'mas shortage freaked out the newbies who are not aware of this price jack-up game. Patience and get your statue at 179shipped. That's where the prices of new statues should be. Stack a few rebates and points and it can be had for 150-169.

Those who haven't gotten one, there's no rush, there are thousands of these. From what I see, only a few hundred hit the market prior to x'mas. Hence, the high markup.

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

There is a rush for some. From the looks of it, your new to all of us. We've been waiting for this piece for 5+ years. Your self proclaimed expertise is not needed. Baby steps.....Welcome to forum, we appreciate yr interest in Koto fine arts.

Are you always this rude? Just because he's new to these forums doesn't mean he's dumb and uninformed.

Hey JZA80 ,
First and foremost welcome to the forum. Hope you have a good time here as there are really good people to interact with most of the time.
It doesn't matter if you're new to the forum or new to this hobby you're insight, expertise and point of view are always welcome, keep em coming.
Like any other forum anywhere there are people here who are woefully painful, treat them like the annoying sounds that slot machines make when you walk past them at a casino and have a good time at your table. (Unless you like slot machines.....Goodluck)
If you are indeed new to this hobby... Happy collecting

Yeah and you're right, the prices on Rogue after the initial rush will drop. It's just the way this hobby goes only to sky rocket in the future again.
I'm glad you figured this out sooner than later

True about the rush. From the first original prototype shown some time ago I been waiting patiently to add Rogue to my 90's X-Men display so I'm not going to wait another 2 - 3 months to save $20! Lol! I paid $198.07/shipped so screw the wait...lol!

Your words, not mine. Stating obvious things gets annoying. If it's being rude, so be it. My goal is not to discourage, but if something needs to be said.

Agreed, after the long wait. 20$ less yay! Bells, you have been on a roll lately (Spidey/Doom). She is the missing link to my collection. I really appreciate the work from all parties involving this piece.
