Hawkeye so Low

[Underdog07]

The law of averages says to wait, even on the Iron Man. After ordering all of the HH pieces pre-release, I opted not to order the Iron Fist and found it Iron Fist for $130 shortly after it was released. If the same happens with Hercules that will be money in my pocket. Now if Iron Man comes out and I have to pay retal on the secondary market, so be it, but overall I will have saved money.

Like Lord Odin said, you can find many a statue for cheap. SS Magneto has gone for as low as just a wee bit over $100. I guarantee you won't find a Thing from HH that low! I feel that Hawkeye might have had too high an edition. 500-750 for the second tier popular characters should be enough. The most popular characters (Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Spiderman, Wolverine, etc.) should be at least 750-1000. No more! If the statues completely sell through, then they should make more. I hate to see wasted natural resources for something that no one will appreciate. Many of those statues will never get sold and just sit in the boxes till the end of time. What a waste!

With that being said, HH Hawkeye is definitely an awesome statue and I feel it is the best Hawkeye out in the market right now. For the size, the pose, the paint job, and the money, it is indeed a statue that should not be missed. Still wish it had some arrows in his pack!

You don't check ebay that often, do you??? There are four completed auctions for HH Things, and they are all for exactly $100 or LESS.

The statues SRP is $200.00. You bought it below dealer cost ...... which means it's being dumped. Retailers can't sell at SRP of $200. which means to start it's overpriced by Hard Hero. Retailers discount the statue right from the jump then when the initial rush subsides and the statue has very little interest ..... the retailer just dumps them and takes a loss. This statue hasn't sold out in regular or artist proof. Also there is no differance at all in Artist Proof statues just an extra 100 statues ....... satisfies those that like low numbers I guess. Hard Hero statues are very hard to sell for a nice profit ...... so buyers enjoy, your gain is somebodys' loss.

Sheeoooottt!!!! I had no idea that HH Thing's sold for that low!! Huzzah! I might get a regular Thing now. I only have the exclusive one! Nah! One is enough! So, my question now is, why purchase HH statues if you are a local comic shop or otherwise at all if you are always going to lose money?? That makes about as much sense as tits on a bull!!! So how does the comic shop make money? Hello? Am I missing something here?

They (retailer) do not carry Hard hero statues with the intent to lose money .... and all statues don't lose money. Ebay allows pre-sale auctions with the 30 day delivery or able to return ..... and Ebay retailers are listing the satues six months before they come out (not just HH statues) .... can't possibly get to customers in 30days and this is allowed by ebay. By the time the statue actually comes out there is a very limited market left and those people want it in the $100 area. Not worth carrying if you have to sell for those prices. Check out Ebay look at what Iron Fists are selling for now. Retailers won't carry this product no matter how nice they look if they have to sell for $117 in order to move them. Check out this forum and you'll see that people just wait it out to purchase until retailers drop their pants! The statue are just way overpriced at $199. and retailers have to give up their profit to sell, IMO.
