Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Hopefully it won't be a free for all. I never have luck in those.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Sorry but no way all 800 of these are pre sold out this fast. Not at this price and limited distribution. Maybe a first batch is

Look out for #1. Don't step in #2 either.

You forget how many local shops in Singapore, Malaysia, etc might have picked up multiples. Not only that XM reserved a special allotment for their own members that will not be sold elsewhere.
This could very well be sold out.

I was surprised also given how long Capt. took to sell out and that Hulk and the others are still not sold out... BUT there was a lot of hype with this statue which probably attracted a lot of flippers...
Will probably see a lot of these on Ebay for like $2k

Buying from a flipper is like buying a puppy from a pet store. Don't support the practice!

Don't underestimate how many fans there are in Asia! Nor the buying power of legions of speculative hoarders and scalpers (which is *especially* bad in Asia! Seen it happen myself first hand with a hot toys debacle at HK AniCom three years ago.. remember the scalper that employed an army of poor ppl to line up and buy up hundreds of the exclusive HT figures from the convention?)

Lmao @ bonedady's typical stereotype! His post in a nutshell went something like this: "Can they even afford it, cuz this 'aint cheap y'all!" There are other people around the world with decent jobs and income, dude.

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

They're crazy for stuff over there just like we are. Collectibles, toys, shoes, etc.
