Don't wanna discuss something- read on

Unless my English is really very very bad, I never pretended anyone was crying in this thread. You used the word "crying", so am I. I simply said what I thought on the fact of collecting.
If you do not like my way of saying it, I agree that it is not an interesting subject for a discussion.

There is nothing special about generic looking pieces being pumped out by digital artists. IMO- I can respect digital art- but if you want a high price for that replicated statue- it better have blood sweat and tears put into it(meaning hand sculpted).
I respect it. I can't draw a box for grapes sake. But there is a massive difference between the two styles. I don't want the- well these new sculpting tools work just like doing it by hand-NO. It's BS.
It gives people that don't have the time and or resources a way to enjoy the art and hobby of sculpting.
I compare this to my other hobbies and passions. Just like guitars pedals and amps- The market flies high then bottoms out, the. Crawls back to normal
I'm telling ya- patience is our friend
Let the impulse buyers do us a favor and sell us their statues later down the road for hundreds less because these companies screwed up and overpriced the over saturated market.

Due to space and cash, i have cut down somewhat. I have just 4 statues on pre order. 2x 1/3 (PCS) 2x 1/4 (Sideshow)
From what i can see, most of Prime 1 statues are 1/3 and sellers ask $1000+ on ebay
XM have a statue i might be interested, when it arrives.
While i don't own anything from Prime 1, the plan is own atleast one Prime 1 statue in the future. Maybe Catwoman Dark Knight, or Laura Street Fighter, should either show up

Well, I pre-ordered Lady D... and of course had to order Deadpool Heatseeker to go with it.
I mean, I can't have one without its companion piece now, can I?

Nice!
I still have Lex on preorder lol. Really can't wait to get him. Also 4 SS and 5 P1 on order. After these I may be done or start selling least favorites for newer statues.
Space and money man. It kills ya. Lol
I don't have a massive collection. I dig a smaller display because I haven't made my man cave yet. So, every few months I switch the statues up and it keeps it fresh(and fun). Then when I get my cave/Theatre, I have a lot of Original art I would rather have up.
This hobby is moving too damn fast to keep up. To fast to see.

Similar plans here. In the long term i too plan a cinema room, with statues at the rear, screen at the front, seating in the middle, posters, art-prints on the side walls. With no sun-light, so the statues shold remain in good shape. So far there is not a single statue i own i want to sell

I like this idea. I'm getting sick of paying retail only to see it going for 150.00 to 600.00 less later down the road. Some xm see going for 600.00 less than what I paid and ss mostly around 150.00 to 250.00 average.

I want Steve Schumacher or Harbottle to do it. Those two guys never disappoints on portraits and sculpts. The magneto I'm not going to bring it since it's being revised.
