What I can’t unserstand few months ago I could have bought Thanos
1300.00 Canadian our the door in Toronto instead I chose something different. I’m seeing prices like 1800-2200.00 is ludicrous for ES 3000+ and QC crap shoot because I can’t check the item. It’s a nice piece no doubt I know XM is expensive I’m yet no to receive a perfect piece. Shipping is a joke ( way too much ). I can’t wait for sideshow to release new characters they tend to keep repeating same stock over and over.

All that being said he’s best Thanos ever but I think they missed boat not having that massive villain standing . I would have bought that the second it came out. Another throne piece did nothing for me personally. I like my statues to show the sizes of characters in relation to each other .

Lool, Yeah he definitely doesn't have the piece or has even seen it. He is as big as a 1/3 scale piece as it is. I really wouldn't want it any bigger

Well, congrats to those who got one, EX or collector's edition, it is by far the best Thanos piece out there period!
It's not sold out, it's wait listed. Color me skeptical until I actually see it listed as sold out. No skin in the game for me, I don't want one. My point is, I've seen sideshow play these games before.

I don’t know if a rep has ever come out and said explicitly that they have sold out of the entire ES run before though. That being said if he appears back up for sale with another batch SSC will be linched.

Certain other SSC reps (not on the chat, real live contacts from withing the company) have confirmed it being sold out. High number of orders shortly after the movie came rolling in apparently.

Bought mine at a local shop for 1300EUR. Seen several EU shops up the price to 1800EUR. Tha't just plain crazy.

Honestly 3500 for how incredibly main steam Thanos has just become doesn't sound like that many anymore.

Maybe the collectors' edition was selling out fast that the "Almost sold out" alert never had the chance to appear.

What? You don't like blueberries?!

Seriously, I don't see blueberries on mine.

I also think the abundance of custom heads out there, good ones too, have made the collectors edition more attractive.

Sold out is sold out. Wait listed is wait listed. What reps say is besides the point. They've been wrong before and as I've said...color me skeptical. I'll believe this is sold out when it's actually listed as sold out. Not before. Again, I don't care either way. However, I've seen these parlor tricks from sideshow before. So, seeing is believing for me and I'm waiting to see a sold out banner on the MAQ.
