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

You were probably THE most excited person on here when you were ordering your CM's. We all followed the trials and tribulations of your attempts to get some perfect pieces... and now, you are selling up...
I know how you feel in a way. CM's are big, and take up tons of space. But I am the opposite. I am thinking of offloading all my other statues just to collect CM's. I mean just look at that PREDATOR - who doesn't want that in their house?! My Bowen FF statues are up on ebay at the moment (somethingI thought I would never see happen) and heck I am even thinking of getting rid of my SS Dr Doom PF Exc and Iron Man Comiquette...
I know how priorities change, but really, with these CM's THINK ABOUT IT. These are very, very limited. Not even a thousand of each, and they will be very hard to get hold of once the contiuos production stops. Consider also the fact that:
1) you won't get what you paid for them
2) the headache you are going to have if they are damaged in transit... think of the problem you had dealing direct with CM and multiply it be a factor of 10,000.
Let us know what you decide.

Well I am not married, so I don't have the problem some of you guys do.
Stretch - I take all your points I do understand. I wasn't knocking you.
Good luck with the shipping of the thing.

I am planning on keeping my 800 and 850. The Alien is just too damn big. I will pass on the preddy probably. That thing will be a monster in size. And really....I dont want to wait 2 years for it.
I collect other things as well so its really not a big deal to me. Ya I was happy when I got them. But to be completely honest.......I do not want to go through the whole replacement thing if I order more and they come damaged. What a big pain in the butt that was. It kind of turned me off to the CM's.
Plus my new pieces will be much rarer then CM's. 1/1's not 1/1000....
I am probably going to move to collect custom 1:1 busts. Smaller and very limited.

Text in bold above is the #1 reason why I stopped. It is a HUGE pain when you get a damaged CM. They are so intricate that something always happens during shipping. Plus they are really large and expensive.
