So the regs got canceled, or did I miss something else? .

They probably haven't pulled it yet. The two retailers I pre-ordered with did, based on the cancelation notification.

And as I pointed out, Robocop was pulled from the PCS site altogether.

Yeah BBTS did the same thing when Gentle Giant canceled Igor. The notice showed up in an email from GG, then a few days later BBTS yanked him from their site.

I think it was 350, maybe even 300. Wow. Not too many will be out there if they did in fact cancel production on the regs.

Oh sorry, if you were referring to what the ex feature was I guess you already got your answer.

I doubt between then and now he has just given up on it.

As soon as we have final production samples Ill post images. Hopefully in January.

Its a very difficult project.

Meaning we make very little profit on it.

But you guys are going to have an awesome Robocop.

China will often revise the pricing higher as they discover something is more difficult than they expected.

I remember back on Lion-O the price went up about 50% once we started. Usually its maybe 5 or 10%.

The only thing you can do is pull it from the factory, but I like this factorys work.

Pricing in general has been rising dramatically since ~2008. Stuff today costs about 130% more than it did in 2008. Some of that increase is passed onto collectors in higher pricing and some is absorbed by us manufacturers with less profit.

At some point the collectibles market may collapse because a typical 1:4 statue will have to be $600.

We had to approve the finish before they started the shading.

Its going to be perfect. A masterpiece. People that didnt order it will cry.

Im serious. Its crazy awesome.
