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

Genius!
Well said. If it wasn't for Blizzard's "greedyness", I wouldn't have had a chance to purchase this wonderful statue.

I love that they are not investment pieces. They are reasonably priced and available for anyone that wants one regardless of when you discovered it. If you have one it’s because you want in not because you want to sell it to someone down the line.

Bingo. Blizzard aren't an exclusive statue/collectible company and they have never marketed themselves as such. They are a gaming company that just so happens to also make gaming merchandise that their loyal fans want. They don't price gouge and they offer plenty of stock for everyone (or almost everyone). That by definition is the opposite of greedy and is why they have so many loyal fans worldwide.

It'll probably go back up when they make more.

Still greedy for profits, as long as people keep buying. No reason to stop selling.
Not wrong for consumers to want a decent aftermarket for stuff they buy instead of being oversupply and the price driven to the ground.

On the plus side, these are amazingly affordable.

How is making something and selling it for a price that is much lower than most collectible companies would charge for it, greedy?

The fact that aftermarket value is even on your mind when buying this is quite dumb. If you're partially buying a statue because you want the opportunity to resell it for a profit later on, but you can't do so because they're going to continue producing them, that's your own damn fault. Not Blizzard's.

Can't sell more than a set number of something at an affordable price or you're greedy. L O L
