XM got themselves in trouble with the Spider-Man Rogues collection, they set the Edition Sizes to high and couldn't sell them all. I know some of my contacts in Singapore said that XM was pressuring them to do bundles with more popular statues in order to move them. I know some of them you can find on Ebay for around $500 new...
I'm pretty sure that's what brought on the MTO system... I don't think XM wants to get stuck with a bunch of statues they can't move again...
BTW, speaking of cheap prices, just noticed XM Iron Man Mark XLII 1/4 Scale Statue on sale for $396 at BBTS.com, seems the packaging has significant flaws but the statue itself is in mint condition.
