That last part is true but less so than in the past. I see actual restraint from many collectors nowadays. Indiscriminate and on a whim purchases are fewer than before no matter how nice.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Yeah, which is a bi-product of the rising prices and growing options. I won't buy a statue of a character I don't like or don't care about. Lady Deadpool isn't my favourite character, but Deadpool is up there for me, so this is basically a must have.

wow never thought of that very clever. Next time I won't sign up for the rvsp.

I think this will sell out in decent short time only because people who missed the thanos po is expecting a fast sell out again. The set Es and great ex is only hyping up worried buyers to buy faster. But.... after these get in hand and the hype calms down along with space and more money issues. I think these can be had for retail or a little less.

I agree it should be 500.00 max, but with the slow pushing us collectors by ss every big releases to new higher prices the shock wears off a bit sadly. 700.00 used to be for the massive big statues.

I'd like to believe the higher prices will translate to better quality factory paint ups close to prototype quality. We will see.....

Bring on the rest of the Deadpool Corps! Deadpool Corps one of my favorites. I picked up 1/6 scale of what has been released previously. Was glad to see this introduced.

675? No, just no.

The Prime 1 Turtles were around that price 2 years ago.

These increases are becoming laughable now.
