There's about 12 left on ebay ranging from $1k-$1250 shipped ( which is about right).

I'm guessing supply will dry up before or right at Christmas.

I'm debating on ordering a second one.

Received my statue today and unfortunately the light-up feature doesn't work. Pretty disappointed. I was also a bit surprised that this didn't have an AC adapter option and is battery powered only. For a statue with a price tag this high I expected more.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

That crappy. Can't return it I'm assuming? I saw a few people on fb selling theirs awhile back due to the failure of the light up feature.

I bought it through Secret Compass so I better be able to return it. Being sold out I'm not expecting them to be able to facilitate a replacement.

While I'm disappointed I won't have this in my collection I think I'd rather have the money back at this point. It's a nice piece but I'm just not seeing an $800 statue here. That being said, I think the prices on most 1:4 scale pieces are completely out of control nowadays.

Oh then ya they should take it back. Well that is 800$ to put towards another statue.....or a 1/3 prime 1 statue : )

I do agree though that 1/4 prices are out of hand now. At times it can make the hobby a little unenjoyable.

Yeah, the hobby has lost a lot of its appeal for me due to rising prices and declining QC. It's things like this that make me consider hanging it up after 15 years of collecting. It's just not as enjoyable or rewarding anymore.

This seems like it'd have a large chance to lean or break off. I didnt follow production of this piece. Did they mention anywhere any kind of preventative measure to avoid that?
