Unless XM deals out an absolute Grand Slam, at this point (especially with Sideshow back in the X-men game) nearly everything will be had for less on the aftermarket. Simple Supply vs Demand.

Don't tell me Professor X will hold at his PO price or possibly appreciate when I saw Weapon X for under PO price in the States before I even received mine that I PO'd. It's just not going to happen unless we're talking an ES of 100.

Also his left hand looks painfully awkward. Also, Charles would never wear the XMen logo as he founded them - is not really “one” of them.
agree, the floating stiff left hand + the blank stare makes him look like a mannequin

agree 100%. Very few piece will hold value at this point.

If you go on the FB BST pages you will find Weapon X going to less than PO+Shipping prices.

All this second and greymarket things will reduce with the MTO system and the new added rule that PreOrders are just open for 2-3 weeks. Will stabilize the pricing after release,

Somehow someway...YOU ALL DIDNT GET THE MEMO!!

Here is a direct quote from XM at the start of the show.

"Both Philippines and Thailand XM con starts in less than 24 hrs! Here’s a little unknown fact; quite a number of the newly revealed products are rushed or quick casted to be in time for the show; These are not the final production pieces. Please note that the final production pieces will be sharper and better quality! See you at the show!"

Not true, Weapon X was MTO. It's simply a fact that given what you can buy it for now, that anyone who PO'd (including me) overpaid.

I've got several XM pieces but I personally will not PO another XM piece unless it is an absolute must have for my collection. Will wait for the prices to come down after they start shipping.

So do you think any of the exclusives will come down like Dark Phoenix, Hulk buster , Cable , ghost rider . The last two I mentioned still sell for above retail years later .

I know he was a MTO statue, but i think the limited PO time started with Catwoman will change the game.
