And lol, dude I’ve seen you bashing Prime 1’s JP line ever since they first announced it. Nothing new here. I totally believe they sold 300 of these, it’s amazing! I do think sales were a bit lower than expected on some of the other pieces, which is a shame but this one is awesome!

That I'm bashing what? Lie lie, I only critized how the rex was made. I can critize pieces whatever I want the same way you spam Prime1 everywhere.
By the way I've seen you critizing this line a lot lol.

That may be. Or maybe not. What I'm sure of is that Prime1 (or any company for instance) don't sell all of the edition sizes they announce. We cannot say that this line is selling a lot based on the triceratops going on waitlist, because the triceratops ES was only 50.

Prime 1’s line however I’m fully in on. And now that they’re available direct to North American market sales have definitely picked up and I can easily believe they’re selling out. I myself have purchased/preordered 7 in the last 10 months.

I wouldn't tag as high end pieces PVC made stuff, but I understand you. Chronicle made some incredible pieces, others were poorly painted. But at least they did the research to give you a copy of the Stan Winston pieces/maquettes. In polystone, not PVC. That was unprecedented and I don't think that will happen again in the collectibles world.
But anyways, this is just a technical note. Making more pieces that it should of this Rotunda piece would be losing money. As many licences they buy, Prime1 is very conservative on how many batchs they make and if they are selling well. When the preorders start to slow down they stop to place more orders to the factory.
It's impossible to know the actual number of pieces that are made, of anything. Anybody that works inside this industry will confirm this. When you read "Sold Out" o "Waitlist" does not necessarily mean that the piece was doing well.
