Thank you Blitzway.. Thank you K.A. Kim!
Now, more Rocky! And Rambo!

I'm getting mine on Monday, and am with you, I hope they do another Rocky.
I see BBTS has 2 for preorder but they raised the price from $450 - $550.

It's been sold out on Blitzway for some time. So it's been up to distributors to get these out to customers.
I've never seen a statue that is still at the retail level get a $200.00 price bump!
Mine from BBTS was roughly $350.00. Ah the power of the early preorder!
Now it's a means to lock in low prices lol. But $350.00 was fair going rate for a 1/4 scale statue when this went up.
Since that time SSC bumped the going rate by a few hundred bucks! Apparently the rest of the industry is following suit.
Crazy times. They're going to price us out of this hobby .
But yeah, I couldn't believe the price I saw on that Rocky when they still haven't all shipped!!!!

BBTS was $450 originally. You must've forgotten the $100 deposit you paid.

Ah yes, I did forget about the deposit. Thanks.
Still, a $100.00 bump on a still preorder/in stock item is pretty unusual.
At least to me. But I usually order directly, so I'm not used to seeing these types of increases.
Is it more commonplace than I'm aware?

From your awesome screen name I gather that you (like myself) are a HUGE Rocky/Stallone fan!
Have you heard anything regarding further Rocky (or Rambo) projects to follow the Rocky II release?
Is there anywhere to ask Blitzway questions?
When it comes to PCS and SSC I know exactly which avenues to search for information. But I'm a total Blitzway noob.
I'd love to get some more information!

On future Rocky statues from Blitzway or anyone else I haven't heard anything, I do collect the Rocky statues from Edinho Maga, and he's working on a Rocky III 1/3, but that's it.
When it comes to Rocky high end collectibles I have learned from over 20 years of collecting Rocky memorabilia that the license just doesn't get much attention like comic book super heroes.
I don't believe you will see anything as good as this Blitzway statue for a long long time or ever, am getting this statue Monday and this statue was over 3 years in development, so it's been a long wait, but well worth it. More Rocky statues from Blitzway or others companies is a long shot, but you never know. I'm a huge Rocky fan, so I hope more comes, but am not getting my hopes up.

Thanks for the reply Balboa. Do you have collection pictures posted anywhere? I'd love to see your Rocky shrine!
