Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Yeah, he was my first PCS statue and I was alittle worried that he was going to be worthless.

I was extremely close to buying Cammy when she was going for like $150, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. I remember a friend of mine laughing at how little Cammy was going for at one point (when compared to the others from the line).

I can see Bison going up in value eventually, but Guile will take more time since he just doesn't have the wow factor.

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

I have the feeling that Bison's price will increase a lot by the end of this year...

Zangief took a lot of hits when he first came out, especially the EX.

I was reading the forums a week back on the mecha and reg and people were saying the same sh!t they are saying now about Guile and Bison.

"I can't beleive I wasted my money"
"This is one statue that I'll never get a return on"
"I'll be lucky to get my money back"
blah blah blah.
It's like everyone forgets how these things work and complains for the sake of complaining.

I think it might take more time than that. Bison is definitely awesome, but has the highest edition size out of any SF statue so far.

I think Guile would take even longer, however since there are honestly so many things people just don't like about it.

I guess the Ken exclusive is over $600 now. It probably would have went for more if the person put Sideshow in the title.

lol, I'm in the wrong forum, this is the stock market forum haha

I think Bison reg & EX will be worth a lot more, the only thing that will slow him down is the "high" ES compared to the other Street Fighters.

But don't know for Guile. When I talk to other collectors or friends that visit me for a coffee they say wow to Bison, Akuma, Zanger, ... but not for Guile :-(

Maybe there are also many people that are buying for example an Akuma without being a Street Fighter fan and that makes the difference?

For example they say Mecha is like a piece of art and can stand-alone, same for Shin Akuma or Bison. Guile in his military look does not seem to attract.

Christina

PS: Can't wait for the next pre-order.

any statue that has a high edition size like you said compared to the rest will not go up significantly cause people that want to complete the set can always get those. They cant find or afford a Ryu or Akuma. (especially shin akuma b/c of you Chris )
