He almost fell on the floor saying no way??!?! I said yep. I’m crazy to spend so much on something that just sits there. I didn’t even mention the 1500-3k aftermarket statues I’ve paid for. Makes me think about it sometimes. I can get a Apple laptop and use it daily for everything or 1 statue. X that by 15-20 a year with even higher rising prices going forward. Lol

You could also get plastered every Saturday night, smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish and lose £200-300 a week like that, so for me, at least there's something here you can treasure and display :-)

I guess if you put it that way. It’s self healing buying expensive statues.

They are literally killing this hobby.

Haven’t preordered a piece in years. Paying off existing orders.

But I used to do about five PFs per year.

Oh well, was fun while it lasted (started in 1993 with Bowen).

This exactly. I first jumped in with PFs were sitting around higher 300s, and even that was hard for me. Once they cancelled my Thanos EX PO things went downhill for me. My PF Classic Sabretooth started peeling paint and was told by SS, "There is nothing we can do about it". These prices are causing me to give up...

I'm ready for the full reveal!! I got space for one, will be either Jugs or Hulk.

The $250.00 PF and $50.00 GG mquettes is what got me started. Not cheap but not that much either, then I would buy anything I liked, Went from 10-20 a year, to 5 a year, now one here and there. Once I get the pieces I want and sell off my other stuff I am bailing. Just would like it if they pieces I want would get made now and I could sell my other pieces.

yeah this thing will be an easy pass if its double the original one. Even if I sell my original one to get this, it will still be too much.

100% guarantee it will be double the original.

Memories > material possessions.

This will be at least $1400 for sure.

Wonder what the over under is that Hulk is going to be more expensive than Jugs....
