$467.78 sounds like a great deal, I usually see them going for $500+ nowadays.

Sometimes you pay the price for the piece you REALLY want.
A member here said something along the lines of buying something only if they could resell it down the line for the same price if they had to get rid of it.
That statue is the best Magneto out there. Jim Lee inspired Sosa sculpt.

I paid close to $400 march of last year and I thought I overpaid for it. Even if I did overpay for it back then, I really love the statue. It was brand new.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If I overpaid, I wouldn't care because it all depends on what it means to you. This statue is a beauty especially the illusion of the metallic pieces hovering about, the 2 head sculpts, the destroyed X-men plaque under Magneto, and the pose taken out of the comic book.

If you overpaid, then it wasn't by much. This is a definitive Magneto statue and well worth the money. Congrats!

I paid over $300 for the Koto Archangel statue recently. It was worth it to me since it's one of my favorite pieces ever made. Erick's sculpting is sublime!

yeah dont worry that is a good price. I barely got into collecting before the price spike. I won it on Feebay for $180 total on March 2013. Congrats, best statue so far koto has produced IMO.

It's amazing what collectors consider deals. While it may be cheaper than the norm, It's still pretty extreme to me. I guess it depends on frame of mind.

Damn when I got it I paid 170 bucks when it was released, but with a great sculpt and high demand, the price will go high.
I passed on the koto colossus for the Bowen version ( I picked it up for 89 bucks as a steal)...but it had one scuff on it, but over the years I regret not getting that koto colossus. Its up in the 400 to 500 range, and that's passed the budget, I only went over that when I got Mr Sinister.
