Are you serious ? I really don't feel my mythos set is worth nowhere near $5,000 for the set as we have entire set! I also have a brand new mythos maul and one other I believe laying around! Tried selling it long time ago and didn't sell for $50 below retail so I'm shocked if they are worth that much now! But if I was you I would say don't do it, these will be and are already the favorites of our Star Wars collection and will only hold their value from here on out! I truly think you and anyone else would regret selling these down the road but hey you need to do whatever you need to do and only you know that...

I think what holds most people back when it comes to the Mythos is their 1/5 sale, had these be 1/4 scale I bet they're popularity would be even greater as some people have the 1/4 scale or bust mentality regardless of how great the statue might be.

For me scale doesn't matter, right now I'm getting very few 1/4 scale pieces due to prices and have been concentrating on 1/10 scale... I'm saving 1/4 scale for very special statues I must have, otherwise I've been pretty much passing on everything lately.

Have a great vacation!

Right now he's still estimated to start shipping between June and July. I don't have a specific week/date that he's estimated to port in the U.S. at this point.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

I was never a fan of the Maul Mythos... I had it... It was nice.. But it was a little too out there for me. Would have liked it better if he kept his shirt on lol... Just was not Star Wars looking enough to me.

I had Fett, Vader, and Obi Wan (sent Obi back because of issue)

They are all great and without question some of SSC best work. I ended up selling because....

Yep... 1/5 drove me a little crazy. Well actually I was never fully 100% in love with vader... Something was just a little off. I ended up trading him to a friend and so I get to see him from time to time which is good enough

Fett IMO is the best of the bunch.... But the 1/5 scale made it tuff to display... I have the new 1/4 scale PF and I do like it much better. Paint apps are just a bit better due t size I think.

Had the Fett been 1/4 scale It would have been the only fett for me... Instead it is a very close second.

But the pose and the overall look of the mythos Fett makes it one of SSC best ever... I just wish it was 1/4 scale.

Like I said the paint apps are better and it just looks a bit more like Fett. Plus I like the scale better

The PFs and Mythos pieces are all well done no doubt. I do believe that in the long run, the Mythos pieces will most likely be regarded as the foremost Sideshow Star Wars line. The ES and aftermarket sales seem to be pointing in that direction.

I much prefer the Boba PF to the mythos, but I much prefer my mythos Vader to the new PF. It's just down to personal preference ultimately..

Yep that is how I look at it... What goes up in value does not concern me too much. What I like does
