Thanks for that gem of wisdom.
I'm not waiting 10 years! This year I explored the private customs market and hit the jackpot! Especially with Mags!...I'm still buying a lot of statues from Sideshow, but I had to explore my options with Mags...

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want too.
You would cry too if mediocre interpretations happened to you.
A collectors standards, especially with prices and issues these days, are important. I don’t think anyone is shedding tears but plenty of are fed up. You don’t have to read every comment and you don’t have to reply to them as well. So please stop being a baby

Spot on Northern. If sideshow expects me to spend $750 for a 1/4 scale Magneto, then I expect him to look like the classic Magneto I grew up reading in the comics. I have ZERO connection to most of these made up sideshowified pieces and will not spend money on most of them. As you said, now classic fans have to wait who knows how many years for sideshow to release a classic Mags PF (and that's if they do).

Combine sideshow not giving classic fan's what they want with the fact that no other competitors can release 1/4 classic Marvel or DC statues here in North America without sideshow's permission.....you get fan's frustrations to a boiling point. It's not as easy as "if you don't like it, don't buy it".

I have no problem with sideshow doing whatever they want with their Marvel or DC products. What I have a problem with is their lockdown on the North American market. Let competitors sell the classic 1/4 pieces they refuse to make and I'll have no issues. Don't forget sideshow built their entire businesses on classic Marvel and DC PFs. Now collectors who spent thousands of dollars over the years on their classic products are getting shafted with incomplete lineups because they now insist on sideshowified versions of these characters. It's not as simple as you make it out to be. You're just another Johnny come lately with no skin in he game.

Of a statue. Get over yourself the world does not revolve around you.just because you have spent money on there product does not mean they have to make you happy. And just because I started collecting fairly recent doesn’t mean Anything man it’s not a secret society I can spend just as much money as anyone else. Yours truly Johnny come lately
Whatever you say Johnny. Who am I to argue with all of your business knowledge?

I still need to PO this. No rush. I don’t need all the X-Men coming out but I need this one. I PO’d Miles. This is next. All I can see going forward is a big maybe for Juggernaut and Rogue depends on the face and how much they twist her costume. Curious about Psylocke and X-23 but I doubt I’m getting them at $600. Probably keeping my old Psylocke PF.

Although if ss wanted to surprise us with Jubilee or Nightcrawler and a new Storm, Gambit or Silver Surfer, I'd dig that.

I'm wondering why the Wolverine is available before Magneto? At SDCC 2017, I saw Magneto already painted up, and Wolvy still being worked on? Was there something I missed? Was Mags modified or something?
