Good question. I really like this one, but it’s a no-go if the price is stupid.

Greed is the name of the game with XM now,and if mugs keep paying these prices the company will happily keep charging them.

I hope collectors have plenty of money ready to pay for Lobo,Harley,Darkseid and Green Lantern raiding their bank accounts over a pretty short space of time.

Just think,Catwoman on a bike in 1/4 was just SGD 300 more than they're now asking for Harley in 1/6.

I don’t see this being as much as HQ, but I could be wrong. With Bud & Lou she’s basically 1.5/2 statues in one much like Lobo w/Dawg & Bike. GL’s construct doesn’t hit that mark IMO.

Yeah 1/6 MUST be cheap! Don´t take the cost for concept, sculpt, print, painting, producing, artist or factory for a high detailed statue like this or Harley Quinn.

It´s just greed.

Yeah GrumpyBear..just ignore the two other points I made..you're running out of excuses for your lovechild which has been noted by other posters on here.

Another point for you to chew on..why has Harley been put up for pre-order so soon after Lobo..with Darkseid and Green Lantern quickly to follow it seems..leaving no breathing space for collectors wallets ?

We don't all drive Ferrari 488 GTB's.

One would assume the likes of Shazam and Black Adam won't be so expensive so could have been produced earlier instead.

DC 1/6 statues are being rushed out for pre-order now..5 of the last 7 in fact..why would that be I wonder ?

More profit mark-up maybe ?

Looks like the first 5 1/6 DC statues were issued for pre-order at relatively lower prices to hook collectors into the line and now suddenly the prices have jumped .

Hmmmm

But hey GrumpyBear you keep your head in the sand...or maybe you just try and deflect.

Are you an XM distributor/ dealer by any chance ?

Looks like you have more in mind than your 12 post. Maybe an admin should check your IP for an double account?

But i take my time for you. Your second point, how can i answer? I don´t know how big other collectors wallets are. To the third one take a look at XM Harley Quinns base! The cost for concept, sculpt, print, painting, producing, artist, factory is not cheap for this one. Yes the Catwoman bike was big in 1/4, but it has cost not nearly the effort of the Harley Quinn 1/6 base.

Again, an admin should really check your IP.

admin are very welcome to check my IP...I've nothing to hide as I don't have a double account.

Bad news for you eh ? : ))

Still trying to deflect GrumpyBear whilst conveniently ignoring all the points I made in my previous post ?

You never answered my question about you being an XM dealer/distributor.

Trying to hide something ?

Maybe admin should check your IP too : ))

Who anointed you the spokesman for the financial health of all collectors? XM needs your approval to release their products? If you can't afford them in the time frame they are being released then grow up and accept the fact they you won't be getting some of them. Ranting about it is beyond imature.
