Mr. Sinister is a good exception to make.
So is Colossus, but you should be able to get him between $300-400.

$450 for a statue that's the quintessential representation of Jim Lee's Magneto is a small price to pay in my mind. If you don't think of it based on what it retailed for and think of it more in line with how the statue is valued compared to other statues of magneto out there this one's a no brainer at even double it's value.

If you are in to statue collecting, it won't be your last piece that you will be paying an arm and a leg for. The Koto Magneto was my first that I thought I was crazy to pay so much for and I said it will be my last. Then came the Sideshow PF Lara Croft ($600 cha-ching) and then the PCS Sagat ($650 cha-ching). Anway you got a great piece.

This is the best Magneto piece on the market. Great action and produced well. I know Bowen has their new action Magneto, but I like the physique on the Koto one more. And I think there is more aggression in this piece, which is what Mags is known for.

I do need to pick this one and Gambit up at some point. I have Psylocke and Archangel which are fantastic. I'm only getting the characters that will complement Sideshow's X-Men vs. Sentinel diorama pieces so I can turn into one large dio. I was so bummed that they cancelled Rogue. Hopefully they will reinstate and add a few more Danger room X-Men like Phoenix, Storm and Nightcrawler.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I found Magneto on Amazon recently for $399.99 +$11 for shipping. I jumped all over it! Couldn't believe I found it for such a low price.

There's a shop down the street from my house he's got him for 250 and he's been there for at least 3 months now.

If anyone has a line of a good price for him ($400 or less) shoot me a note. I think the market for these has experienced a temporary bump. Right now I'm planning to get the XM Magneto so won't lose any sleep if I pass on it for the time being.
