Let’s do the math on this piece, 6 X-men characters that are 1/6 scale where most of their 1/6 dc statues go for $375 with prestige membership so that’s $2250 so basically they are saying the sentinel cost $1750 at 1/6 scale to make it $4000. That’s ridiculous. This diorama should be $3000

Don't forget to add another $800+ for shipping cost. Yup, this statue is waaaay overpriced.

How is it ridiculous?Look at that Sentinel. It took a ton of work in design and development hours to develop. Not to mention logistics of shipping and show (at cons) exc. I feel its a fair price. ( shipping is a huge bummer , I'm guessing 1200.00)

So true!

Even the original set of characters they had at first would've been better. And I was so excited for this diorama when it was first introduced. I really wanted this piece.

Unfortunately, they had to change the characters. And too much time went by. For me, the need to get this is dead and gone. I'll just wait for in-hand pics to look at.

It´s not a second PreOrder.

come on grumpy, you act like we're new to the XM game. the "official PO on XM page" is as relevant as the "sold out on XM webpage"

It's amazing to me that it is even worth it for them to create pieces at this price.

Don´t forget the Sentinel Base.

You comment like you are new, but for the new ones i can repeat the "sold out on XM webpage", hehe.

Sold out on XM webpage means "sold out on XM webpage". If a statue has an ES the allocation are splitted into three parts. Events, XM webpage and distributors. If a statue is sold out on XM webpage it means nothing more as the statue is "sold out on XM webpage".

Jubilee looks just as useless on this piece as she was in the comics (at least in the earlier years).
