Probably that's alot of money to spend on something they could have easily made 1k of. So to me that was a ----ty decision on there part. I'm still bummed as I was going to PO. Who knows if she will convert for my wait list.

It will be telling with the mythos yoda, that's a huge line for them and he's a huge character. If they make a small ES of him that will be the most telling. Signaling collectors that they gotta PO as soon as a piece comes up as they can't support to bloat ES's with slower sales all around..

I don?t buy to sell, but I always thought I had some value should my family ever need to liquidate in my absence, but most things just won?t gain or even hold their value because something else is always coming to market. At that point it?s not even about ES, but the fact there are already 12 other versions to choose from.

Very few Bowens kept there value which i'm not shocked, same will go for some of the SS PF's. Tho some folks prefer to get the deal on the old piece than to get the newest.
But I do agree not buying to sell anymore. Not worth the hassle and headache. If I don't intend to keep it for a long time I don't bother PO'ing anymore, you end up losing to much money that way. I do intend to buy this Joker tho I really loved it when i saw it at SDCC but was waiting for a deal but now its come to bite me lol.
