After that I gotta admit I started to look the reviews done by various people with a much more critical eye.
Reviewers get free stuff across all of the various industries, and it is the price of doing business so I don't blame them. However, when you realize that some of the guys around may have had their judgement clouded by the lure of free $700-$1000statues, as apposed to say a video game, well you start doubting the hype the tend to give off.

But enough about Radd Titan.
I'm surprised people are surprised by this. What do you suppose a release like this is worth to a company? It's not like they are advertised on tv ads. Hype might be worth a couple hundred sales.

Had no interest in buying a Thanos but after seeing these teasers, I may have to re-consider. Personally, I could do without the light up features - It's normally the first issue you run into with those kind of statues and it kind of "cheapens" the overall look for me. Like if your gonna add light ups.. you might as well have a string in the back of his throne that you pull on to make him talk lol.. (JUST MY OPINION). In regards to price and ES.. the new quarter scale DEADPOOL was $700.. a 1/4 Thanos would tower him if he was standing up, PLUS he's on a large throne.. I predict $850+ and that's WISHFUL thinking. Realistically, I'd say $900+. As for the edition size - although I HOPE it's low, I'm not getting my hopes up. We're looking at a 3000 ES at the least. Looks great so far though, very excited for the full reveal on Wednesday!

It doesn't surprise me at all. In fact, I bet there's a person or two on this forum that gets special perks from certain companies for constantly talking about them in the best light.

I feel the same but for me it's a combination of what you said and that the lights are gonna go bad for sure and then you're screwed if you have to sell.
